The sick, the elderly, the chronically ill are welcomed to Marianwood at a time when they are most vulnerable and in need of compassionate, respectful care. We are here to help make life better at a time when options for care are few and the costs are very high. Residents and their families often come to us in a time of crisis. We meet them where they are and with the greatest dignity and respect, give them the skilled nursing care that they need and the quality of life that they deserve. The community surrounding Marianwood has embraced and supported us in so many ways over the 26 years we have been in service. Individuals from the community have also made immeasurable contributions. One of the many ways that we have been blessed is with wonderful board members who lend their skills and talents, fueled by their passion for the work being done at Marianwood in their service as board members. Board members come to us from all segments of the community and to a person they devote themselves selflessly to the ministry of Marianwood and to providing for the care of its residents. Don Cumming is one such board member. Don’s affiliation with Marianwood began in 1994 when his mother-in-law was admitted to recover from a bout with pneumonia. He was very favorably impressed with Marianwood especially after some disastrous experiences his family had experienced previously with nursing homes on the Eastside. Also a member of the Kiwanis Club, Don was an early supporter of Marianwood. At one point, the local newspapers ran a picture of Don handing a check from the Kiwanis to then Administrator of Marianwood, Ann Hughes. Shortly thereafter, Don had hip replacement surgery and came to Marianwood to recuperate and get back to full strength before returning home. That picture of him giving the check was hanging on the wall leading to some speculation about Don getting favorable treatment. When Ann asked him how his stay at Marianwood had been, he distinguished himself by saying it was “fun”. We like to think that staying at Marianwood is pleasant and refreshing but honestly, not too many residents find it “fun”!

“SPIRIT OF MARIANWOOD” AWARD – GOES TO DON CUMMING & THE KIWANIS OF PP

The annual Marianwood Spring Luncheon was held in the Bellevue Hilton on May 3rd. Our own Don Cumming of Forest Village and the Kiwanis Club of Providence Point were awarded the “Spirit of Marianwood” award for 2012.

President of the Marianwood Board of Directors, Sherry Williams made the presentations. Following is her presentation speech:

Marianwood has been so blessed over the years with the rich support of the community and both of these Spirit of Marianwood awardees certainly are shining examples of this support. As the only nonprofit nursing home in the Issaquah/Sammamish area, Marianwood fills a unique niche in community-based programs and is a very valuable resource. The sick, the elderly, the chronically ill are welcomed to Marianwood at a time when they are most vulnerable and in need of compassionate, respectful care. We are here to help make life better at a time when options for care are few and the costs are very high. Residents and their families often come to us in a time of crisis. We meet them where they are and with the greatest dignity and respect, give them the skilled nursing care that they need and the quality of life that they deserve.

The community surrounding Marianwood has embraced and supported us in so many ways over the 26 years we have been in service. Individuals from the community have also made immeasurable contributions. One of the many ways that we have been blessed is with wonderful board members who lend their skills and talents, fueled by their passion for the work being done at Marianwood in their service as board members. Board members come to us from all segments of the community and to a person they devote themselves selflessly to the ministry of Marianwood and to providing for the care of its residents.

Don Cumming is one such board member. Don’s affiliation with Marianwood began in 1994 when his mother-in-law was admitted to recover from a bout with pneumonia. He was very favorably impressed with Marianwood especially after some disastrous experiences his family had experienced previously with nursing homes on the Eastside.

Also a member of the Kiwanis Club, Don was an early supporter of Marianwood. At one point, the local newspapers ran a picture of Don handing a check from the Kiwanis to then Administrator of Marianwood, Ann Hughes.

We like to think that staying at Marianwood is pleasant and refreshing but honestly, not too many residents find it “fun”!

Shortly thereafter, Don was invited to join the board of directors of the Marianwood Foundation. Don served several terms on the board and made significant contributions to the Fund Development Committee and elevated the board’s skills at fundraising. To this day, Don continues to be a valuable ally and resource to the Foundation. He serves as link to the Providence Point community, the Kiwanis Club and to this day, Don continues to perform a touching personal mission of bringing flowers to brighten the rooms of residents at Marianwood on a regular basis.

Don – it’s my pleasure to give you the 2012 Spirit of Marianwood award with my thanks for all you have done for the residents of Marianwood over the years.

And Ted Gamelin (current President), please accept this co-award for the Kiwanis of Providence Point.

Could all the Kiwanis members in the audience please stand so that we can acknowledge you. (Much applause as 15 -20 Providence Point residents stood to be recognized.) Thank you for your loyal and generous support over the years. Marianwood’s first gift from Kiwanis was received in 1989 – 23 years ago! Since then the Kiwanis Club of Providence Point has donated $25,000 to support the resi-dents and programs of Marianwood through fundraising drives and sponsorship of our luncheons. Thank you very much. We deeply appreciate the ongoing support the Kiwanis provide.

On behalf of the residents, patients, staff and volunteers of Marian-wood, the board of the Providence Marianwood Foundation and the Sisters of Providence, thank you both!

THE REST OF THE STORY - PAGE TWO

The rest of the story that was overlooked when the book sale article ran last month. We begin with the mention of additional local authors' books you will find at the sale.

Mary Daheim - local prolific author who found her niche after starting out as an historical romance writer has gathered devoted followers with The Alpine and B&B Series. Both mystery series take place locally with characters you will come to feel you know. Books pub-lished from both series number near 50.

Elizabeth George - local author who divides her time between Seattle and London is most known for her Inspector Lynley mystery series set in modern day England. Although the series is lengthy, books can be read as stand-alone. However, the fabric of the story is enriched when reading the books in sequence. Look for: "What Came Before He Shot Her" and "With No One as Witness".

We're looking for some positive weather energy thoughts for your book sale social scheduled for June 1st at 7:00 p.m. To those of you who attended last year, you will recall it was a beautiful late spring evening. Can you believe we gathered coatless on the patio outside Collin Hall? Come mingle with friends and potential new friends. Finding good books, meeting great people, tasting savory and sweet nibbles and beverages, you're invited to experience a combination many would envy.

Would you like to help with the sale? Look for the sign-up sheets posted outside the Activity office and the door to Nan's office in the library.

We could not have this fun event without you. Many thanks to Nan Lopis, our librarian, who sorts through the donations saving the best for the library. Thanks to the many within the community for your gen-erosity in donating books and time that makes this sale possible. All proceeds benefit the library and ultimately you and your community.

Still finding some books you'd like to donate? Donations are being accepted at the north Community Building until May 28th. Hope to see you sometime during the book sale, June 1, 2, and 3.

THE VISITORSBY GLORIA VALDEz – CENTER VILLAGE

A charming little couple has visited our town;He wore a weskit of ochre hue; she was in modest brown.

They sought to seek and find somewhere that they could stay,and many likely places they saw along their way.

High ones and low ones, with greenery all around,And ones with crenelated walls in “Forest’s” welcome ground;

Some with vines festooning, and many flowers blooming.

These two were like those country folk at Eighteenth Century fairs,Who stop to look at every stall’s many varied wares.

They found some berries, red and ripe and water (which was free),And sat them down to rest awhile in the shade of a tall old tree.

By the way, they were expecting little ones and just had to find a home,One safe from danger or creature that might roam.

They wouldn’t ask for food or drink or shelter from the storm;Just to feel a bit protected, and some sun to keep them warm.

In fact they asked for nothing, but they did bring just one thing;

This week, with their arrival They brought us -- Spring!

Everybody remembers their first car, family driving vacations, a sports car they fell in love with as a teenager; personal experiences with cars are at the heart of the American experience.

The new campus spans over nine acres featuring a four-story mu-seum as a center piece. The museum is designed to preserve the automotive history and celebrate the world’s automotive culture. This spacious facility houses 500 cars, trucks and motorcycles from private owners, corporations and the Lemay collection, which amassed a Guinness Book record of more than 3,500 vehicles in the mid-90s.

You will have the opportunity to enjoy a private docent led tour, further enhancing your experience at the museum. Among the sites you’ll visit the Theatre-in-the-Round, the Racing Experience in the Round,

the Vault and the other galleries in the museum. After the tour we’ll head over to the historic Freight House Square where you’re free to enjoy lunch on your own at their food court or one of the restaurants housed throughout the Square. The cost of this trip is $21.00 and includes your private tour, museum admission and transportation. Lunch will be at your own expense. Signup Day is May 31.

IMAx: MUMMIES: SECRETS OF THE PHARAOHS12:15 p.m. Last Stop

Step into one of history’s most treasured stories in Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs. This exhibition features more than 100 objects from King Tut’s tomb and ancient sites representing some of the most important rulers throughout 2,000 years of ancient Egyptian history. With more than twice the number of artifacts than the original Tut exhibit that toured in the 1970s, many of these objects have never toured in the United States before this exhibit. Come face-to-face with the largest image of King Tut ever unearthed - a 10-foot statue of the pharaoh found at the remains of the funerary temple of two of his high officials. See authentic objects from King Tut's tomb including jewelry, furniture and ceremonial items, as well as the boy king's golden sandals - created specifically for the afterlife and covering his feet when his mummified remains were discovered in 1922 by British explorer Howard Carter.

After your 1:30 p.m. tour you can take a load off your feet and enjoy the IMAX presentation of Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs. This

film follows researchers and explorers as they piece together the archaeological and genetic clues of Egyptian mummies. These rel-ics of the past create a window into the fascinating and mysterious world of the pharaohs. In addition to increasing our understanding of the culture, religion, medicine, and daily life thousands of years ago, scientists today are reconstructing mummy DNA and decipher-ing ancient texts to gain insight into modern human genetics and advance medical treatments.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27TH BOOK CLUB

7:00 p.m. Winthrop The Providence Point Book Club will meet at 7:00pm on Wednesday, June 27 in the downstairs social room of the Winthrop Building in Washington Village.

The group will discuss The Nine – Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court by best selling author Jeffrey Toobin – graduate of Harvard Law School, a CNN legal analyst, and New Yorker staff writer. “… not surprisingly, The Nine is engaging, erudite, candid and accessible, often hard to put down. Toobin is a natural storyteller.” (NY Times Book Review, 2007)

Based on exclusive interviews with the justices themselves, The Nine tells the story of the court through personalities - from Anthony Ken-nedy’s overwhelming sense of self-importance to Clarence Thomas’s well-tended grievances against his critics, to David Souter’s odd 19th century lifestyle. There is also, for the first time, the full behind-the-scenes story of Bush vs. Gore and Sandra Day O’Connor’s fateful breach with George W. Bush, the president she helped place in office.

Come and join our lively discussion. All are welcome. Call Barbara Beyers with any questions. (391 5952)
