This month's guest speaker was Nancy Tribble from Next Step Pregnancy Services. Their organization provides free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, counseling, maternity clothes and diapers. The have a licensed nurse on staff. They are a pro life organization and 100% donation funded. They have an ongoing need for cash donations, diapers and other basic baby needs.
The Vision House/Jacob's Well dessert event raised $68,000! This is great news as it move them closer to their target amount of $160,000 to get the building started on Jacob's Well.
The recent Seattle Urban Academy guest speaker session was well attended and we believe that we should try for one guest speaker per month.
We will move ahead with the Thanksgiving baskets again this year. Albertson's is on board and will provide 'at cost' supplies for this project.
We decided to hold off on donations this month to stock pile funds for the busy holiday season. There are sure to be multiple causes that need funds during this time.
We also decided on adding two new committee members, who will start attending meetings in November.

Vision House Jacob’s Well fundraiser
On Saturday, October 16th myself, along with others from Campbell Nelson Nissan/Volkswagen family, attended a dessert fundraiser for Vision House Jacob’s Well.
This fundraising event was put on to bring in donations to help build the newest Vision House complex, Jacob’s Well in Shoreline. The event featured guest speakers, dessert and a wonderful performance by the Seattle Children’s Chorus.
The fundraiser brought in donations of $63,837. When added to the other fundraising proceeds, a total of $101,000 has been raised towards the goal of $160,000. These donations are needed to purchase the lumber to build the first phase of the Vision House Jacob’s Well project.
Let’s continue to lend a helping hand. For more information and for volunteering opportunities please visit http://www.vision-house.org/

September 2010
September turned out to be our first 'electronic' meeting!
Busy schedules and a number of committee members with flu bugs made this an easy choice.
The group discussed the Thanksgiving food baskets and it was decided to proceed with this effort. We will establish the cost of the baskets and move forward from there.
The needs of the Seattle Urban Academy was also discussed. They have an immediate need for scientific calculators for their math classes. The committee agreed that this was a good cause to support and we voted to provide a donation for the calculators.

August 2010
We gathered for the August meeting on the 18th of the month.
The first subject of discussion was the Jacob's Well 'framing party'. Jay is gathering more information and will report back once a date is established.
The group voted to donate funds to the 'City Fest' event to help provide 'back to school' backpacks to families in need.
The recent Lynnwood apartment fire was also discussed. This fire left 70 to 80 people homeless. Trinity Lutheran Church in Lynnwood is providing emergency shelter for the fire victims. It was decided to donate funds to the church to help defray the cost of housing the fire victims and to help support any of the emergency shelter's future needs.
The group also discussed doing another Thanksgiving food basket effort this year. Everyone agreed this was a good effort last year and was worth repeating. We will research the cost of the effort and also research potential recipients.
