WoHeLo
Luncheon
Three, two, one, Blast Off! Camp
Fire USA Snohomish Council’s annual WoHeLo Luncheon was a success. 300
guests attended the luncheon with a theme of “Today, Tomorrow & Beyond!”
The event was held on October 15th and raised over $55,000.
Many special guests helped contribute to making this year’s luncheon one
that guests will not soon forget.
Myrna Overstreet and Paul Johns of
the Seattle Seahawks co-chaired the event and welcomed guests to the 17th
WoHeLo Luncheon. Nichole Loehr, a Camp Fire All Star Club Member, lead the
Pledge of Allegiance along with the Marysville Pilchuck High School NJROTC
Color Guard. An Invocation was giving by US Navy Commander John Swanson,
Command Chaplain of the USS Abraham Lincoln. Commander Swanson just
returned from a seven-month deployment on the USS Abraham Lincoln this week.
Bob and Myrna Overstreet were
surprised with the presentation of the Lou Denney Award for community
service. The award was given to honor their years of service and dedication
to Camp Fire USA of Snohomish County. Myrna’s ceremonial gown and other
items from her time as a Camp Fire member and leader were on display after
the luncheon.
The energy in the air “took off” as
former NASA Astronaut Bonnie J. Dunbar, Ph.D., inspired guests to make their
dreams come true. Camp Fire Youth Member Trina Huschka displayed how Camp
Fire has influenced her life. Trina gave out paper clips to encourage
guests to “get connected” and “be a positive link.” Camp Fire USA would
like to thank Boeing and Alfy’s Pizza for being this year’s event
co-sponsors.
Stay tuned for details of the 2009
Luncheon!
