Angela grew up as a member of a ranching family where the outdoors was a way of life. She developed a lifelong reverence and curiosity for nature, by exploring the scablands and Palouse River in Eastern Washington. Learn more about Angela at the meeting.
Chelan Douglas Land Trustwas founded in 1985. From 1985-1999 CDLT was an entirely volunteer organization that played a major role in the local and regional effort to protect access to the Peshastin Pinnacles climbing area, Spider Meadows, and the Columbia River Loop Trail.
In 1999 the CDLT board decided that CDLT could play a much greater role in local conservation efforts if they hired an executive director and opened an office. At that time CDLT had 40 supporting members, owned no property, and had an operating budget of about $2,500 per year. Currently, CDLT's membership is over 1,900 households and has protected over 26,600 acres of land.
It’s beautiful here, but our lakes, rivers, meadows, and foothills are more than just scenery — they’re also a valuable resource, providing the area with quality water, recreation, and a vital connection to nature. The Chelan-Douglas Land Trust works with private landowners, businesses, and local communities to ensure that we will be able to enjoy the benefit of our cherished natural areas for years to come.
Mission Statement: We engage communities in conserving, caring for, and accessing the natural lands and waters that sustain North Central Washington.
Vision: We envision thriving natural systems sustaining the diversity of human communities in North Central Washington.
ANNOUNCEMENTS AND NEWS
The meeting was conducted at Pybus Market Event Center.
It was a virtual (ZOOM) Hybrid session, and
was opened and led by club president, Alice Meyer.
NOTE: All indoor meetings are currently held in venues where face coverings are mandatory. Please honor the requirements of these establishments by wearing face-coverings properly.
ROTARY LUNCH. Tradition has it that most Rotary Club meeting are held at mealtime while food is served. The fellowship opportunities with dinning always were important. In moving to Pybus our club chose not to provide meals partially because of the number of restaurants available and the cost. However, the cafés use was found to be cumbersome.
What we have found we can do is provide “deli” type of simple lunches easily and at a low cost. At least through March, we will provide a selection of small sandwiches, snacks and water for a $5 dollar donation. We will have the food available at 11 am. Come join in and meet with your fellow Rotarians for a Fellowship lunch. It is also an opportunity to volunteer to provide the meal service. -- Ford

The award-winning Chelan Douglas County Volunteer Attorney Services was founded in 2002 by the Chelan Douglas Bar Association to ensure that income is not a barrier to legal help for people in our community who are facing civil legal problems. It is one of several legal-aid services in the region.

Our mission is to bridge the justice gap in an equitable way that offers folks facing the most barriers to justice, a path forward. Civil legal issues can include family law, housing and evictions, employment, vacating criminal records, wills and estates and consumer/bankruptcy issues. Demand for such services has grown steadily.
Judge Robert Jourdan posted in the ZOOM chat: "CDVAS is an essential part of the legal community in the Wenatchee Valley. Eloise and her team are amazing, as are the numerous attorneys who volunteer their services!"
Funding comes from many sources, including fund-raisers such the Justice Gala on April 23, A NIGHT IN MONTE CARLO! To join the fun, visithttps://cdcvas.org/events/
