1.1 billion people around the world are blind or live with vision loss, 90% of which is avoidable and can be addressed through comprehensive eye care services that are community facing.

Peacebuilders Committee brings back the Book Club
Sep 29, 2023

The Peacebuilders Committee is happy to share that we are bringing back our Book Club. Many Seattle 4 members participated in our Book Club a few years ago with readings focused on racial justice. For our first read this time around we have selected The River that Made Seattle by BJ Cummings. We will be scheduling a group discussion of the book in November so you have some time to get your hands on a copy of this impactful story about a misused and misunderstood but vitally important river.

Here is an article from the Seattle Times about the book: https://www.seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-magazine/seattle-arose-from-a-tortuously-transformed-duwamish-river/

Here is a full description of the book:

The River That Made Seattle - A Human and Natural History of the Duwamish, By BJ Cummings

With bountiful salmon and fertile plains, the Duwamish River has drawn people to its shores over the centuries for trading, transport, and sustenance. Chief Se’alth and his allies fished and lived in villages here and white settlers established their first settlements nearby. Industrialists later straightened the river’s natural turns and built factories on its banks, floating in raw materials and shipping out airplane parts, cement, and steel. Unfortunately, the very utility of the river has been its undoing, as decades of dumping led to the river being declared a Superfund cleanup site.

Using previously unpublished accounts by Indigenous people and settlers, BJ Cummings’s compelling narrative restores the Duwamish River to its central place in Seattle and Pacific Northwest history. Writing from the perspective of environmental justice—and herself a key figure in river restoration efforts—Cummings vividly portrays the people and conflicts that shaped the region’s culture and natural environment. She conducted research with members of the Duwamish Tribe, with whom she has long worked as an advocate. Cummings shares the river’s story as a call for action in aligning decisions about the river and its future with values of collaboration, respect, and justice.

  • At Community Passageways (www.communitypassageways.org) we create alternatives to incarceration for youth and young adults by rebuilding our communities through committed relationships centered on love, compassion, and consistency. We support our youth and young adults at every stage of the criminal legal process—from prevention to detention. This is designed to replace the school-to-prison pipeline with a school-to-life success pipeline. Instead of suspensions and expulsions, we strive for restorative and culturally relevant programming. Instead of police, prosecutors, and judges, we operate with mentors, counselors, and circle keepers. Instead of frustration and denial, we build purpose and opportunity. Instead of jails, we will have homes, schools, jobs, and a community that stands with our youth.

Host a Youth Leader this November!
Oct 25, 2023 4:30 PM - Nov 01, 2023 5:00 PM

Greetings from the World Affairs Council! I'm with the Global Leadership Exchange team at the World Affairs Council. We welcome youth leaders and professionals from around the world for short exchange programs.

Our next youth homestay program is coming up this November and we're excited to welcome youth participants (ages 15-18) from Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru for a two-week exchange focused on digital literacy and the use of social media to address community issues.

We are looking for homestays from Saturday, November 4th - Friday, November 17th and I wondered if this is something your community might be interested in, or at least want to hear about! The students will be meeting every morning at the Northwest School.

Happy to share more information with any members of the Rotary Club who would be interested in hosting - looking forward to hearing from you!

Volunteer Opportunity at Seahawks Game!
Nov 12, 2023 9:00 AM

Boys & Girls Clubs of King County is honored to be selected as a Spirit of 12 Partner with the Seattle Seahawks again this year! This means there will be exclusive opportunities for our organization to fundraise for our mission at Seahawks games and events throughout the season. Our next volunteer opportunity is coming up on November 12, 2023 for 50/50 raffle ticket sales and we would love to have you there!

Following a successful debut in 2022, the Seahawks' 50/50 Raffle program returned for the 2023 season. Raffle tickets for the 50/50 electronic raffle ticket program will be sold at each Seahawks home game. Fans 18 and older can purchase tickets for a chance to win half of that game's total jackpot. The other half goes to the Seahawks Charitable Foundation and is distributed evenly at the end of the season to the team's Spirit of 12 Partners. The total donation is then generously matched by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation. In its inaugural season, the program raised more than $450,000.

 

To purchase 50/50 raffle tickets, fans can look for the Seahawks 50/50 sellers (that could be you!) at kiosks located throughout the stadium. Raffle sales begin upon gate opening and conclude at the end of the third quarter. Winners are announced during the 4th quarter of each game, and later posted to Seahawks.com/5050.


The Volunteer Opportunity

What: Selling 50/50 raffle tickets during a Seahawks home game. The charitable proceeds portion of the 50/50 raffle jackpot will go into a pool of funds that will be combined all season and evenly distributed between all twelve (12) Spirit of 12 organizations at the end of the season.
When: Sunday, November 12, 2023
Where: Lumen Field
Time: 9:00am thru the start of the 4th quarter
Registration: Pre-registration is required –

November Book Club
Nov 15, 2023 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

The Peacebuilders Committee Book Club is back! We are reading The River that Made Seattle by BJ Cummings. This is a book about the Duwamish River, a critical resource to the Indigenous people of the area that became a vital utility to aerospace and other industries. The use and abuse of the river shaped the lives of the area’s first people and the white settlers who came later. “Deeply researched and eloquent. Cummings skillfully unfolds the interrelated stories of a much abused river, an ambitious city, and the people whose lives shaped both the river and the city.”

Our book discussion will be held on Wednesday, November 15, at 11:00am before the Seattle Rotary lunch program. We will meet in-person in the Olympic Room on the Mezzanine or 2nd Floor of the Westin Hotel.

The book’s publisher, University of Washington Press, is currently have a Back-to-School sale with 40% off and free shipping through Oct. 31st. https://uwapress.uw.edu/

Volunteer Service Day at Pike Place Market

Come pack “No-Cook Bags” for the Pike Market Food Bank. These bags provide ready-to-eat food to community members who are experiencing homelessness, do not have a kitchen, or are in a situation that prevents or limits their ability to store, cook and prepare food.  Community members can pick up bags daily from the Pike Market Food Bank in addition to the regular grocery distribution program.  The demand is high for these bags with more than 600 bags picked up EACH WEEK!   All of the food items for the bags will be procured in anticipation, we simple need willing hands to back them up and deliver them to the food bank.  We will be using a space right above De Laurenti’s in the Market to pack and we will have a few moments to learn about the network of social services operating in the Market Community.   

If you will be joining us, please RSVP by emailing club member Lillian Sherman at Lillians@pikeplacemarketfoundation.org
