The Lake Washington Schools Foundation in Redmond, WA is pleased to announce its sixth annual A Legacy for Learning Luncheon on April 20 at Juanita High School. Keynote speaker is Dr. Bonnie J. Dunbar, recently retired President and CEO of the Museum of Flight and veteran of five space shuttle mission.
This event is fun, informative, and brief (register from 11 to 11:15 AM, out by 12:30 PM), and comes with plenty of parking, good food, and good friends. Consider being a Table Captain and inviting up to nine education supporters to join you. Please contact Lisa Wylie. Smaller table groups are welcome, too. This year you can register on-line! The event is free but we suggest a contribution of $150 or more. Over the last six years, your donations have provided over $700,000 in grants to the students in our District.
