Bonnie's Story

Life Oh what a journey... High school was literrally decades ago! I have attended 3 colleges, El Camino (AA in Recreation), University of Oregon (BS in Parks and Recreation), and University of Phoenix(Masters of Management-in 2006). As many of us experienced I had many relationships...got married, have a wonderful son, divorced my practice husband and now happily married to a wonderful guy; Kevin. My son is busy living life, always having fun. He loves to snowboard, skate, draw, and party. He is 19 and just starting to attend college this month. My work is my passion. I worked 14 years for the YMCA and finally ran a YMCA camp at Lake Wenatchee in Washington State. For those that knew me well this is no surprise. But once you live your dream job then what. Other dreams of course! The only thing that could have puilled me away was true love. Yes, I left the Y camp to pursue family life again and married Kevin. So in my heart I was wondering how do I top what I have done...and applied for a education manager job at Museum of Flight and got it. From there I was promoted to Director of Ed...Expand for more
ucation and with a very talented team created the largest Aerospace Education program in the country. I have been in Rotary since 1991 and went on a trip to Ethiopia with my husband and 65 otehr Rotarians in Seattle. We did Polio immunization for hundres of kids. A very rich and rewarding experience. So when we got back the following year I turned 50. For my 50th B Day goals I listed to get a new job that gave money away....something more Rotary like...service oriented. I ended up applying for a position I had seen about a year earlier and applied as the Executive Director for a small non profit in Seattle called Saul and Dayee G. Haas Foundation. We serve over 800 secondary schools in Washington State helping students with immediate needs. I feel so fortuante to have been selected by hte board to lead this non profit. It has been a blast. I am in my second year in the position, have assembled a great team of volunteers and have a dedicated board and small staff. I hope to be able to connect with folks from "THE" YMCA club we had in High School, folks from my volleyball team, and others.
