On April 1, Rotarians welcomed former member Dr. Susan Cohn back into the club's ranks, and as the club's first member added under the spouse/partner membership category. Sue is a life-long Washingtonian and Kirkland resident for 22 years. She was an educator for 47 years, serving as a math teacher, track coach, cheer and class advisor, assistant principal and principal and as school/district improvement facilitator in multiple Washington districts.
 
While serving as the principal of Juanita High School, Sue joined and served the club for over five years with the support of then-superintendent Dr. Bud Scarr, leaving membership when her husband, Gary, accepted a job in Port Angeles. Sue has served as a board member and president for both the Sno-Isle and Clallam County Library systems, as a King County Library Foundation board member, a Port Angeles Food Bank board member and volunteer, and as a member of Kirkland Planning Commission. She earned bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees from the University of Washington.
 
Sue is an active retiree enjoying golf, Pilates, Pickleball, jogging and walking 5-7 miles daily, Mahjong, lots of reading and participating in her book group, and cooking. She notes she’ll enjoy joining club members and spouses of members in several of the service projects the club conducts in order to serve the Greater Kirkland community. The Rotary Club of Kirkland welcomes Sue to membership again!
