Getting to know you....!

I just put up pics of the Celebrate Kirkland Organiztion Team and I want you to learn more about one of its great members, Tim! A Kirkland resident for 6 years, Tim explains why he’s involved in the Kirkland Fourth of July celebration,

“As a retired Naval officer and a Viet Nam vet, I’ve always been pretty patriotic. After attending the first 8 years of parades, I decided that it was time to give back to this Celebration event so I volunteered to help last year. It was a great experience, and I had the opportunity to work with a lot of giving people. This year I joined the planning committee for Celebrate Kirkland to help wherever needed to make the 10th annual celebration a success!”

Tim’s favorite part of the Fourth? Hint: it’s one of the most popular! The children’s parade resonates with him the most. “It takes me back to memories of my early Fourth of July’s, and those watching my children participate in similar parades when they were young. Those are memories that last forever with kids and parents.”

Have you been a fan instead of a volunteer these past few years? If you’re ready to meet some amazing people and have a lot of fun like Tim, volunteer for the 2009 Kirkland Fourth!
