Message from Nancy 11-11-2019
Join me in celebrating our Veterans and active military today and thank them for their service to our country and democracy. We wouldn’t be here without them.
This morning, Carol and I attended the Mukilteo Schools Foundation annual Veterans Day breakfast at Mariner High School. It was uplifting and fun. The room was packed, and we hope they met their fundraising goals. A very worthwhile event, even though the day started very early!
Dr. Marci Larsen spoke at last week’s meeting and gave us an important update on the district’s February capital bond levy. They will ask property owners in the Mukilteo School District, which encompasses all of Mukilteo, plus parts of Everett, Lynnwood, Edmonds and Mill Creek, to add an additional $47 per year on a home valued $500,000 to provide $240 million that upgrades nearly every school in the district. We hope to invite incoming School Superintendent Dr. Alison Brynelson to a meeting next year to remind us how important it is to support our schools just as others before us supported our kids.
This week’s meeting is at Spiro’s and begins at 6:30pm. Gary will preside and I will give a short Board report on our finances and activities. Please be sure to meet us about 6pm if you want some dinner before the meeting. AGENDA attached.
Happy Birthday this week to Adrian and John Luckovich!
I’m looking for 5 more members to accompany me this Thursday at 11:30am to the DVS Season of Giving kick off luncheon at New Life Church. I have purchased the table, just bring an unwrapped gift for a child of any age. Please let me know by Wednesday if you can make it. Flyer attached.
Natalie has made it possible for the Foundation to be a part of Fred Meyer’s non-profit giving program and will provide us with information this week about how to earn $ for the Foundation when you shop at Freddies. Click on link to enroll.
