March 2010:: Brotherton Community Champion

Congratulations to

Kaytie Joo-Yun

for being the

Brotherton Community Champion

for March 2010.

"It gives me great pleasure to nominate Kaytie Joo-Yun for the Brotherton Community Champions scholarship. Academically, she soars with a GPA of 3.78 which is consistent throughout her entire school career. Kaytie is well respected among her peers and embraces opportunities at school.

Because of this she is currently the ASB Secretary for her class, is in the Orchestra Club (currently performing in the pit orchestra for Les Miserables and has been playing the violin since 4th grade), Key Club (this is a community service club – last weekend Kaytie participated in the “Bringing them Home” walk-a-thon and raised money for a family who is adopting three children). Last month she even received the very prestigious VISSTA Award (Very Industrious Students Striving to Achieve) which is quite an honor at her school. Kaytie has also participated in a walk-a-thon to raise money to restore a church in Scotland wearing the McNeil tartan and Celtic broach. She is Scottish in her heart but is a Korean adoptee. She very much embraces her Korean culture and is very active in KIDS (Korean Identity Development Society) often planning events for the teen group throughout the year.

Her parents are middle-class without much extra money so when she decided she wanted to visit her birth country for the first time last year, she used her creative thinking and made note pads and shopping lists and raised enough money to go last January – as you can see when Kaytie sets her mind to do something, she doesn’t set limitations.

Her love of community does not have borders as she reached out this past January and in lieu of birthday presents asked for donations to go to the Eastern Child Welfare Society in Korea. Kaytie’s outreach to others is with her whole selfless heart and she does so not for any recognition but because she genuinely feels it important to reach out to others. Kaytie has her sights set on going to the University of Washington and I am sure she will find a way to follow her dreams and goals. Kaytie talks often of going to college and is encouraged to do so by her Mom and Step Dad who do not have college degrees. It is my hope to collect scholarship money to help her attain that very important goal.

As you can see Kaytie is a high achiever, is involved in her community and school, and is quite a special young lady. It is my hope that you give her serious consideration to become a Brotherton Community Champion."

"Kaytie exemplifies the best of all you could hope for in this upcoming generation - in academics, in extra-curricular activities, and in contributing to her community. She's awesome!"- Dave

CONGRATULATIONS Kaytie!

It sounds like you are a very bright woman with a huge future ahead of you!

Good Luck in everything you do and congratulations on your nomination!!

February 2010:: Brotherton Community Champion

Congratulations
to Marja Brandon for being the
Brotherton Community Champion
for February 2010.

"Leader Growing Leaders: Marja Brandon “You look lean,” I say, opening our conversation with an observation of her fitness. “It’s been a lean year,” she exhales, noting the compliment and coupling it with the realities of running a not-for-profit school in a challenging economic time.

But challenge is no stranger to Marja Brandon, it is something she seeks; it becomes her inspiration, her friend.

Marja Brandon is the headmaster of Seattle Girls’ School (SGS) located in the Central District of Seattle. She moved from Boston in 2000 in response to the “education hungry” parents wanting a girl’s middle school as bold and impactful as their daughter’s potential. Since the schools’ inception, Marja has dedicated herself and her staff to living up to this challenge and mission: to inspire and develop courageous leaders who think independently, work collaboratively, learn joyfully, and champion change.Challenge and inspiration are now synonymous to SGS students. It is Marja Brandon's leadership tenacity and “can do” attitude that birthed a school that brings forward young, ready and contributing leaders. SGS offers girls a chance to gain confidence, test their ideas, and ignite a life-long desire to learn and be agents of change.

Marja's exemplary role modeling and the school’s challenging and unique curriculum designed by a creative and caring faculty and staff has created a ripple effect that will benefit communities near and far, now and later. Marja Brandon fits the definition of a community leader. She is fostering the next generation of women leaders. Her leadership, community spirit and her raw and engaging energy is what moved us to apply for this scholarship.Thank you for supporting and honoring community champions, Brotherton Cadillac"

"I'm a student at SGS and I'm only in 5th grade but every one says I've become much more mature and I can only say one thing "Thank You Marja!" - Jasmin

"Marja has a gift and is sharing it with our daughters as well as us parents. She gets us thinking and taking action. Thank you Marja!" - Andrea C

CONGRATULATIONS Marja!
It sounds like you have made a difference, and continue to make a difference in so many lives!
Keep up the good work!

December 2009:: Brotherton Community Champion

Congratulations
to Bob Hathaway for being the
Brotherton Community Champion
for December 2009.

"Since North Helpline/Lake City Food Bank’s inception in 2001, Bob Hathaway has been one of our biggest supporters. He gives of his time, his resources, and most importantly, his heart.
As soon as word went out that a new food bank was coming to his community, Bob began making inquiries to see what it was he could do to help. He began by helping set up the configuration for the food bank distribution lines. He used his expertise from years in the restaurant industry to make the process as humane and efficient as possible in a relatively small space. “It’s hard enough to go through a tough financial time,” he explains. “I wanted to create an environment that respected the dignity of the clients who used it.”
When the food bank was finally ready to open our doors, Bob volunteered to order all of the food that would be needed to be able to distribute well rounded, nutritional meals to all of the families that came to the food bank. He not only set up the food for ease in distribution every Friday and Saturday, but he made sure he was here to continually stock the selections as the food was distributed.
Bob was also one of the original Board of Directors members and only resigned several years ago as he started to pursue a college degree. Today, he continues to come in every Saturday without fail to stock the tables and direct the volunteers on distribution day. Throughout the years, as we have gone from serving 150 to 650 families each week, Bob has been here to help configure new line ups to make sure people not only have choices but that they are served in an efficient and comfortable manner.
Bob works at the Wedgwood Alehouse and has raised thousands of dollars for North Helpline through their annual golf tournament. He also convinced the restaurant to host a “dine-out” event to benefit North Helpline/Lake City Foodbank. He has made it his mission to let all of the Alehouse’s customers know about the work that is done at the food bank and the ways in which they might help.
The food bank relies on over 200 volunteers each week to keep operations running smoothly. Bob has taken every opportunity to recruit family, friends and even complete strangers to volunteer their time at North Helpline. And we have received thousands of dollars in donations because Bob makes sure those he comes in contact with know of our service to the community. He has a food barrel at the restaurant which his customers continue to fill every month to help replenish our food needs.
Despite working full time and attending college, he has given over 5000 hours of his time to eliminating hunger in his community. Bob is an invaluable volunteer and friend to the North Helpline and his commitment to people in need is truly unparalleled." -AbeSunder

"Great job Bob! You were always there when someone needed help. On behalf of our community, we thank you for all your time and effort. You deserve to win this scholarship. Go Bob!" -Socheata

Congratulations Bob Hathaway!!

Sounds like an amazing way to earn an award! You give your whole heart, and sound very deserving!

November 2009:: Brotherton Community Champion

Congratulations

to Dakoda Fenter for being the

Brotherton Community Champion

for November 2009.

Even though Dakoda Fenter is only 17 years old he has dedicated endless hours to volunteer work in the nearby communities where he lives.

"At age 13, despite being a year too young to enter the program, Dakoda B. Fenter applied for and was accepted into the Explorer’s Post at Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office."

"Volunteer events included security at local fairs and festivals such as Seafair, the Evergreen State Fair, Kla-Ha-Ya Days and the Sultan Shindig, as well as security at events such as the Methamphetamine Summit at Everett Event Center, security at Paine Field for the roll out of the 787 airliner, and finger printing young children at the local YMCA’s for identification, among many other events."

"Being an S.C.S.O. Explorer was filled with opportunities to learn through real life experiences. Dakoda was able to go on ride along’s with Officer’s of the various different Police Agencies in the area, which he did on a regular basis. Most ride along’s were 12 hours in duration and involved many different types of police incidents ranging from domestic violence to motor vehicle accidents to shootings. This was real life training not something learned from a book and it was something Dakoda had a real passion for. Dakoda also had the opportunity to attend and graduate from a 6 day Police Academy in Yakima, WA. This Academy was structured military style, in the middle of December (cold below 0), it was hard and intense but he survived and came out a stronger man with a different perspective on life."
"Dakoda learned life skills beyond his years in the S.C.S.O. Explorer’s Program. He participated in the Sheriff’s Office Explorer’s Program for 4 years before moving on to the Fire Department Explorer’s Program in March 2009.
Just after Dakoda turned 17 in February 2009 he decided to take on a new challenge. Although he loved his part in the Sheriff’s Office he wanted to try something different and decided that this was to become a Fire Explorer with the Snohomish Fire Department. Over the last year Dakoda has participated in the Fire Departments Explorer’s Program in Snohomish, WA. The Fire Program is much like the Sheriff’s Office Explorer’s Program. Dakoda was required to attend weekly meetings to learn about fire, first aid and other life saving skills. He also volunteered his time to help the Fire Department prepare for events in their city such as parades, the local fair and car shows. Dakoda was allowed to go on ride along’s again only this time on a Fire Truck or in a Medic Unit. Through this experience Dakoda became really interested in the Paramedic aspect of the Fire Program which opened many doors for him to explore in the area of emergency medicine and this became his new found passion."

"What a great opportunity and experience it has been for Dakoda to be a part of something that is so important, that helps so many people in the community. This experience shaped him as a person and has helped lead him down the path towards success. It is awesome that there are programs like these available for our youth to participate in locally, in our own communities. "

"Dakoda recently resigned from the Fire Program in order to focus on his future goals. His rigorous work and school schedules demand his full attention in order to achieve his success in becoming an RN (Registered Nurse Degree). Dakoda will graduate from Glacier Peak High School in Snohomish in June 2010. In January 2010, 6 months prior to graduating high school, Dakoda will be taking college classes at Everett Community College through the Running Start Program offered at his school. Dakoda’s early entry into college will satisfy 25 required college credits, which are all prerequisites to the Nursing Program that he will start in the fall of 2011. Dakoda’s desire is to obtain his BSN (Bachelor Degree of Science in Nursing). Dakoda is looking forward to the day that he can put all of his education, skills and training into real life experiences where he can help care for and save the lives of people in his community."

"It is his calling."

"Dakoda Fenter is a devoted individual, who has dedicated all of his teenage years to being a productive citizen in his community and serving as a great role model for children everywhere to look up to. Dakoda has touched many people’s lives through his community service and great things are yet to come for him." -AngieMarie

Congratulations Dakoda Fenter!!

You are a young individual that has been looked up to as an role model! Keep you the good work!
