During Carmin's talk, she plans to share about the foundation's history, key accomplishments in the community, and the transition from a parks foundation to a broader community foundation. She'll highlight the foundation's role in supporting local nonprofits and initiatives, as well as how it helps people in our community build their best life through philanthropy and partnerships. In its first five years, the Foundation raised over $443,000 for park projects. During this time, it became clear that Kirklanders’ interests extended beyond park enhancements to broader community initiatives. In 2020, recognizing the community’s expanding needs, KCF rebranded and broadened its mission to become the Kirkland Parks & Community Foundation. With an expanded mission, KCF can now support a variety of causes important to Kirkland’s residents. While park projects remain a focus, KCF has taken on other issues, like homelessness and education. Its first major project was raising funds for a counseling center at The Sophia Way, a shelter for women and children. When the COVID-19 pandemic began, KCF acted quickly to provide support for homeless families and hungry school kids. Carmin is a long-term Kirkland resident, enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest through hiking and kayaking, and frequently visiting her favorite local parks like Waverly Beach Park. With a successful career spanning various industries, Carmin brings a wealth of experience in business development, government, non-profits, and churches to her role as Executive Director of the Kirkland Community Foundation. She has a deep passion for leadership, fostering high-performing teams, and building strong community relations. Carmin has also been recognized on the Northshore Wall of Honor for her contributions. With her grown daughter now thriving on her own and her loyal dog, Pinot, by her side, Carmin is fully invested in the work KCF does to enhance the Kirkland community. She is proud to contribute her fundraising expertise, public speaking skills, and dedication to sustainable growth, and she is excited to help shape a brighter, more inclusive future for all.	View

2025-04-21 18:40:00Z	Apr. 21, 2025	Dr. Natalie Ellington of Eileen & Callie's Place	Empowering young women to sustain an independent lifestyle	Apr. 21, 2025 6:40 p.m.	Transitioning from adolescence to adulthood is a critical period that shapes the future of young individuals. For those who age out of foster care, this transition is often fraught with challenges and uncertainties. In Washington state alone, over 500 youth age out of foster care every year upon reaching 18, leaving many without the necessary skills or support to navigate their new reality. This situation is dire, as within 12 to 18 months, many of these youth find themselves homeless, incarcerated, and often without a high school diploma. The need for a trusting adult in their lives becomes even more apparent when considering the trauma they have experienced. In response to these pressing needs, Eileen & Callie's Place was established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization specifically to support young ladies aged out of foster care. Eileen & Callie's mission is clear and impactful: to empower, educate, and coach these young ladies, with a vision that all will have a safe place to live, the opportunity to become independent, and the skills needed to maintain a positive and productive lifestyle. Dr. Natalie Ellington is the founder and executive director of Eileen & Callie's Place.	View

While it’s likely there are several examples of “outstanding Service Above Self” among the staff at each school in our community, each year one or more schools nominate one educator who best represents characteristics drawn from the “Object of Rotary”: Capitalizing on his or her relationships as an opportunity for service; Exhibiting high ethical standards in the conduct of his or her professional activities, the recognition of the worthiness of all occupations contributing to quality education, and the dignifying of each educator’s contribution as an opportunity to serve society; Demonstrating the ideal of service in his or her personal, professional, and community life; Contributing to the advancement of understanding and goodwill through an attitude of fellowship among professional allied in the ideal of service. The Rotary Club of Kirkland is pleased to honor staff of the Lake Washington School District in the Kirkland area who best represent these high ideals.	View
