NW Neighborhood Clean-up Day

by

The neighborhood has hosted a clean up for the past 9 years now. As always, MaryVee Westlund was our gamekeeper along with Joni Smith. These ladies greeted neighbors, verified that they lived within the NW Neighborhood borders, and collected donations to off set the costs for dump fees. Usually the fees run upwards of $1500. Thank you neighbors for donating! 

Our additional excellent volunteers included Jeff Hardy, Rich Whitkop, Fran W., Tim Knopf, Kari Quaas & from EvCC, Connie Tune, Lisa Gorman, Amanda Stum, Tony & Barb Campbell. Molly Beeman, Sustainability Manager / Capital Projects from EvCC, coordinated this event again with the NW Neighborhood. Many thanks to all of these folks. Volunteers are really important for this event & we truly appreciate those that have been a part of this event. 

Next time we have a clean up, we could use a few more men to step up from the ‘hood as volunteers.

Cultural Exchange Opportunity with Japanese Student(s)

by

Here’s a message from Miki Aspree with Everett Community College. Please consider hosting a student this summer! – Kari

Greetings from Everett Community College, Nippon Business Institute and Japanese Programs! Would your family or friends be interested in hosting Japanese high school students from July 20th – August 3rd? For over 20 years, we have had high schools students from Iwakuni City (sister city of Everett) visit us for the summer exchange program. We will be hosting 15 students and 2 chaperones again this summer and are in need of host families. The host families are responsible for:

  • Dropping off/picking up student from the EvCC campus daily (normally 9am & 4:30pm, M-Th)
  • Providing a furnished room and three meals/day for the duration of their stay
  • Be able to provide a cultural experience (can be something small or big) on their free time

Since these are young students, the city prefer that students stay at homes in pairs so if you could host two students, that would be ideal. However, even if you could host one student or a chaperone, that would be helpful. Here is the stipend amount for hosting students for the 14 nights:


One student: $350 / Two students: $700


Hosting an international student can enrich the student’s and your family’s lives. It is a priceless opportunity to teach/learn about each other’s culture and to create a lifelong friendship! Please feel free to contact us at if you have any questions at nbi@everettcc.edu or 425-388-9195 or 9380.
Please help spread the word within your community


Thank you for your support and consideration!


Warm Regards,
Miki & Saeko
