Make A Difference Day
Many hands coming together can truly make a difference
"Make A Difference Day" is the largest national day of helping others. Everyone can participate - young and old, individual or groups. Anyone can carry out a volunteer project. It might be as ambitious as collecting truckloads of food for our local food bank or participating in beautification projects for our local trails and parks. Or it might be as personal as spending an afternoon helping an elderly neighbor or relative.
Saturday, October 20, 2012 will mark Maple Valley's tenth year participating in "Make A Difference Day." Co-sponsored by the Maple Valley Rotary and the City of Maple Valley, the event will kick-off at 8 am with a free breakfast at our Greater Maple Valley Community Center.
To sign-up as a volunteer or to suggest a work project, please contact Colby Collier. Additional information may be obtained at Make A Difference Day on the web.
For more information email Kelly or call the Community Center at 425-432-1272.

United Way Day of Caring
Triumph Aerospace Systems
On September 16, 2011 a volunteer crew of 13 employees from Triumph Aerospace Systems exchanged computers for brushes and rollers as they brought new paint and new life to The Den Youth Center game room at the Greater Maple Valley Community Center (GMVCC). As part of the 2011 United Way Day of Caring, the team was led by Triumph Aerospace employee Nancy Brown.
The crew first gathered with GMVCC Facilities Manager Kelly Travis for a kick-off continental breakfast in the Community Center main hall before moving next door to The Den Youth Center where they were greeted by Youth Programs Director Kristiane Byers and a thank-you banner created by the Maple Valley Youth Council leadership group. Ten gallons of paint later, the game room walls had been transformed into bold canvasses of purple, orange, green and red that will serve as fun and energizing backdrops for teen activities and artistic displays.
Thank you to Triumph Aerospace employees Dennis Rankin, Charlotte Broege, Kyle Colis, Nick Nagel, Lili Lam, Pamela Carter, Judy Doan, Jonathan Lee, Dawn Smith, James Holmes Jr., Victor Rodriguez, Randy Counts and Nancy Brown.
In expressing her thanks, Executive Director Lynn Roberts also recognized GMVCC Facilities staff Kelly Travis and Dale Bonson, the Den Youth Center staff, and Youth Council student leaders for all of their work preparing for this project; as well as Maple Valley Parks & Recreation for lending the paint machine to complete the painting of the basketball half-court in our parking lot. She noted “GMVCC is a non-profit organization and it is volunteers who make it possible for the small staff of the Community Center to offer the wide variety of programs and services it does. We deeply appreciate the donation of time, talent and supplies from all of our volunteers.”
The Den Youth Center provided important events and after-school programs for over 600 local teens in 2010. United Way's Day of Caring is the largest single day activation of volunteers in King County. To learn how you can volunteer at GMVCC email Kelly or call 425-432-1272.
