VERY SAD NEWS FOR WENATCHEE ROTARY

Marlys Barrett, beloved wife of dedicated Rotarian Ford Barrett, passed away late on July 31.  The photo and information below was copied from the website of the Numerica Performing Arts Center, where she was a board member.

"Marlys earned a bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Montana and a master’s degree in English education from Arizona State University. She taught in many schools in several locations during her husband Ford’s 29-year Air Force career. Marlys retired after teaching for 15 years in the English and agriculture departments at Wenatchee Valley College.

Marlys has served on the board of the Literacy Council of Chelan and Douglas Counties and as scholarship chairman of the Wenatchee branch of the American Association of University Women. She is a member of the Women’s Service League of Wenatchee, Bookworms book club, and P.E.O.

Marlys is a long time board member of the Numerica Performing Arts Center who passionately believes that the arts add a critical enriching dimension to our community."

Karen Bruggman leads the Chelan-Douglas Community Action Council in their Green Bag Program, where volunteers and donations are always needed. Wenatchee Rotarians continue to be involved with the Green Bag Program in several ways.  Our members are involved in filling and putting out the Green Bags for pick up, several other Rotarians are involved in picking up the bags and delivering them to the collection site, while others have volunteered to help sort and get the over 200,000 pounds of food to our area food pantries and meal programs that is distributed monthly.  Find out the many ways Wenatchee Rotarians can continue their supportive efforts.

Dorry Foster,  is Executive Director of the Wenatchee Valley YMCA, the largest non-profit youth organization in the valley.  Watch Dorry's  VIDEO which did not play at the meeting.
Wenatchee Rotary has been a steadfast financial supporter of our local YMCA since its beginning days (especially when our own Eric Nelson was director).   Dorry shared the need for our continued support following this past pandemic as the Y provides support in many ways for our youth.  We heard how the Club’s Community Outreach grant funds help provide equitable access for all children in our valley.  This year the Y’s fundraising efforts will award scholarships to over 1000 needy kids for YMCA membership and access to programs.  Our financial support helps subsidize programs such as Lake Wenatchee YMCA Summer Camp, Swim Lessons, mentoring services, Teen Outreach programs, Childcare subsidies and youth fitness.

Dorry gave an overview of current activities, needs, and financial status.  She expressed great appreciation for Rotary's assistance over the years.  Below are a few of her images.
