The CEA Silent
Auction
BASKETS ARE
NEEDED FOR THE
SILENT AUCTION
The Bluebill
Christmas Giving
Program provide
gifts for
the victims of
Domestic Violence
and Sexual Assault
in three counties.
This is
usually between 80
to 100 individuals.
The main
source of funding
for the program
comes from
the Community
Enrichment Alliance
(CEA) Silent
Auction, held in
November.
In the
neighborhood of 500
or so items are
donated each year.
CEA
members combine
a number of these
items into gift
baskets.
HERE IS THE
PROBLEM. THE BASKETS
ARE SOLD WITH THE
ITEMS AND EACH
YEAR NEW BASKETS ARE
NEEDED.
If anyone has
baskets that can be
donated to the
silent
auction please
do so.
TO DONATE
YOUR BASKETS PLEASE
CONTACT: DICK
OSTLUND
437-7747 dickostlund@gmail.com
He will tell
you where they can
be dropped off or
arrange for pickup.
Dick is the
Bluebill coordinator
for the Silent
Auction.

HELPING
OUT A VET
We recently
had a request to
build a ramp for a
veteran with
cancer. He was
essentially
bed-ridden and had
difficulty getting
out for treatment.
Unfortunately
the family didn't
have the means to
buy the material
so a source of
funding was
needed.
Late last
year we had a
meeting with the
Port Townsend
Legion and Elks
Clubs and they
offered to fund
projects for needy
veterans.
They
stepped in and
provided the
material.
They
have provided help
on several
projects in the
past and it seems
like we can always
count on them to
help a vet.

Dove
House Back
Packs
The
Bluebills are
providing students
in the Dove House
Program with back
packs. Volunteers
are needed to
purchase backpacks
and school
supplies -
estimated to be
around $30). A
list of supplies
will be
available.
If
anyone is
interested in
participating in
this project,
please contact
Sharon Commander
at 437-2486 or
Heather Gilden at
437-2498.

QUILCENE
BLUEBILL
MEETING
Although most
of our members are
in the Port Ludlow
area we have a
good number
that reside in
Clallam Co, the
Quilcene and Brinnon
area and Kitsap
County.
One of the
suggestions for
improving member
satisfaction,
recruiting and
training was to
hold meetings
outside of the Port
Ludlow area.
Earlier this
year we held a
recruiting meeting
and a follow-on
training
meeting in
Sequim.
On June 15 we
held a meeting for
members in the
Quilcene and Brinnon
area. In total,
25 Bluebill and
agency
representatives
attended.
 |
| Bob
Rosen and Myron
Vogt |
The agenda
covered changes in
ramp building, grab
installation and
other
items requested
by the attendees.
It was decided
to expand the school
supply distribution
program to eligible
schools along the
Hood Canal.
Thanks to Bob
Rosen for setting up
the event and
arranging lunch.

later this year we

meeting in Kitsap
County. By
