A special $100,000 matching gift in David's name has been donated to the Mercer Island Boys and Girls Club "Peak Capital Campaign" to build a new center for youth on Mercer Island. Each donation received in David's name will be matched by the special matching gift. It is the intent of the donors of this fund to raise enough money to name part or even all of the "teen center" in David's memory. If you are interested in donating, please contact either Blair Rasmussen, MI B&GC Executive Director (206-232-4548) or Ted Colson (206-447-4400). See www.MIPEAK.org to learn more about the Peak project.

Dan Brewster, General Manager of Summit at Snoqualmie, announced that the Summit will be building a new ski patrol facility named in honor of David. The chalet will be located at the top of Chair 1 at Alpental. The facility will be used by the Ski Patrol to interface with the public, to facilitate safety programs, and to provide meeting space. The Summit hopes to build in the summer of 2010. Check back soon to see how the project is progressing.
