One Call for All Stuffs 14,000 Red Envelopes These include groups like the Madrona School, IslandWood and Hope House of Bainbridge.
By Cecilia Garza
W
hen it all comes down to it, One Call for All is about a single red envelope that arrives in local mailboxes once a year.
One Call for All has fundraised for nonprofit organizations located on Bainbridge Island for about 50 years and, today, supports 88 agencies. On September 27th more than 100 volunteers gathered at the Filipino-American Center and stuffed 14,000 envelopes.
From the preschool his children attended to the Friends of the Farms which supports Harvest Fair, it was these groups that got Green interested in becoming part of One Call for All. “There were a lot of organizations that had touched our lives,” Green said. “When I run the forest, I’m glad that the Land Trust is around.”
Envelopes have arrived in mailboxes, said Green. And in each one, residents will find a list of nonprofit organizations they can opt to make donations.
With the red envelopes, residents can mail in as many donations as they want to the listed organizations, opt to donate to One Call for All’s operating costs or place an amount in the community fund pool. The pool is undesignated and is shared among the organizations based on the number of donations a group receives.
One Call for All adds groups to their growing list based on whether they are nonprofits with taxexempt status, if they are in good standing with the IRS and the state and if they serve the community in some way.
Also, One Call for All promises that 100 percent of the donation goes directly toward the residents’ selected groups. No operating costs are covered through the donations unless a donator designates an amount to One Call for All.
About 24 percent of the organizations they support fall under health and human services and 15 percent fall under arts and humanities. The rest range from community outreach and youth services to environmental and recreational services.
“You know what we do, we send out an envelope and make it possible for the community to give to the island,” Green explained.
“To me, this sums up what One Call for All is and the spirit of the community,” said Jon Green, president for One Call for All.
In the 2012-2013 campaign, the organization

“To me, this sums up what One Call for All is and the spirit of the community.” — Jon Green, president of One Call for All
fundraised more than $1 million with about 1,600 donors. Green explained his goals for One Call for All this year are just as much about raising awareness as it is about raising money. “It’d be great if we get more money; it’d be great if we get more people involved,” he said.

Nonprofit Enlightens Communities With Solar Energy By Henri Gendreau
W
hile Seattle boasts a mere 58 sunny days a year on average, one Bainbridge Island nonprofit is basking in the sunshine. Community Energy Solutions, founded six years ago, helps communities realize the power of solar energy through projects and educational outreach. CES already has two major island-wide projects under its belt, having spearheaded the efforts to put solar panels on the roofs of Sakai Intermediate School and Bainbridge Island City Hall. In the early 2000s, cofounders Tammy and Joe Deets were inspired by the potential for solar energy during a trip to Tibet. Up in the mountains, more than 10,000 feet above sea level, the Deetses espied the tents of Tibetan nomads. And outside, powering TVs airing Chinese soap operas, were solar panels. “We saw that as almost like, ‘Wow, if they
are using solar power here, why didn’t we energy, the Deetses held a heavily attended see more solar panels back in our home outreach program at city hall in 2005. country?’” Tammy Deets recalled. One audience member was then-state “And so we came back to the states senator Phil Rockefeller, who now and we did some research.

One Call For All www.onecallforall.org
“So we developed a team which become a nonprofit organization.” In January 2009, the Solar for Sakai project was officially completed, through donations directly to the school and a grant from Puget Sound Energy. Finally, two years after the Sakai project, the Washington State Senate passed the 2010 Community Solar Law, as it is commonly known. The law allows community members to own part of a solar system on property they themselves don’t own, thereby encouraging solar power and community investment. CES stepped up to the challenge. The nonprofit formed Community Solar Solutions to manage a 297-panel solar system on the roof of city hall. Unlike the Sakai project, where the school district owned the system, 24 island families capitalize on the sun while CSS rents the roof in the role of an administrator. “The city is getting a revenue stream they otherwise would not have gotten,” Joe Deets said. “And meanwhile, these families are investing in their community, creating local jobs and reducing the carbon footprint of the city.” Although the solar panel campaigns were directly run by for-profit subsidiaries, CES made it all possible, with help from One Call For All.

“Without One Call for All, I think it would be extremely difficult to do what we’re doing, frankly,” Joe Deets said. “It’s a validation that people do care,” Tammy Deets added. “It’s less about the financial need that we have. It’s more the moral support,” she said. While large-scale solar projects aren’t in
the cards for the near future, CES is hoping to create a pamphlet to educate schoolchildren and others about the potential of solar energy. “It’s going to take another generation,” Tammy Deets said. “It’s going to take kids from (the) Sakai kind of generation who grew up in that kind of environment — let’s talk about energy, the value of energy — to make that sea change.”
Madrona School’s Alternative-Style Education By Henri Gendreau
I
t began about 15 years ago as little more than a group of passionate parents, a dozen students and the vision for an alternative style of education on the island. Madrona School, the dark-green, twostory building standing at Madison Avenue and Bjune Drive, used to include one small classroom in the next-door Eagle Harbor Congregational Church. Now with nine classrooms there and a spacious playground, the Madrona School will enroll approximately 130 students in the 20132014 year from preschool through eighth grade. “It was really founded out of this sense of longing and passion for a style of education that we couldn’t find anywhere else on the island,” said Head of School Missi Goss.
That education is called Waldorf. Began by Austrian Renaissance man Rudolph Steiner in 1919 at the Waldorf Cigarette Factory, Waldorf education was an experiment in a kind of education that would promote social responsibility and compassion. Children of the factory workers, boys and girls alike, sons and daughters of both factory workers and managers, learned alongside each other in Steiner’s attempt to create a new type of learning to combat the perils of his day. “He was very concerned about the social disintegration that he observed in Europe in the aftermath of World War I,” Goss said. Goss described the Waldorf philosophy as “a well-balanced, well-grounded education that encompasses a lot of different kinds
of activities in additional to conventional academic learning.” “The purpose in doing all of this is really creating a learning environment that’s a joyful place for children to be,” she said. As part of that, the curriculum at Waldorf schools across the country and the world embodies the philosophy of “learning through doing and learning though moving,” Goss explained. Music, the arts and nature play key roles to help students in “exercising their mental capacities in a rigorous, vigorous kind of way.” Every child takes up knitting in first grade, reads music from notation in fourth, learns botany in fifth, and recounts Arthurian

Bainbridge’s Library: A Community Treasure which are funded through tax dollars. But it’s the people of Bainbridge Island who own the building and grounds and make up the more than 200 volunteers, including the allvolunteer board of directors, that keep the library functioning. “If you think about it as a shell,” Meier said, “the community of Bainbridge provides the shell, the building, and the regional system provides everything that goes inside.” That relationship between the private and public sphere can sometimes be confusing when it comes to donating money. “If people give money to the regional system, that doesn’t necessarily stay on Bainbridge. It can go into any of the libraries in the entire system,” Meier said. “If you donate money to the Bainbridge library, it stays here.” And by giving through One Call For All, islanders can ensure their donations go straight to the Bainbridge library — roughly

ith more than 250,000 visitors and half a million books checked out a year, the Bainbridge Public Library is arguably one of the island’s most busy and well-loved community centers. But there’s a big difference between that center, the building and the books inside. Unlike other libraries in the Kitsap Regional Library system, the Bainbridge branch has a unique relationship with its island patrons. “The most unusual thing about the library … is that the community of Bainbridge Island actually owns this entire building, which is not true for many other libraries and other libraries in the Kitsap Regional system,” said Linda Meier, president of the board of directors for the Bainbridge Public Library. “So we as community people are responsible for keeping this place open.” The Bainbridge library is a partnership of both the public and private — the KRL system provides books, staff and materials,

EduCulture Brings School to the Farm By Henri Gendreau

hile the farm-to-table movement has been a staple in sustainable agriculture in recent years, one island nonprofit is adding a link: school-tofarm. “We’re an educational organization … and our work is about bridge-building between the classroom and the community,” said Jonathan Garfunkel, founder and director of EduCulture, which was started in 2007 by a group of local teachers and farmers. “We were starting to realize what an incredible, rich community treasure these farms could be as outdoor classrooms, and saw an opportunity to build bridges,” Garfunkel said. As part of this, EduCulture’s Farm-School partnerships match four primary schools on the islands with farms to educate young islanders about their food community. Children from Island Cooperative Preschool and Captain Charles Wilkes
Elementary and Ordway Elementary can plant potatoes and harvest raspberries at Suyematsu and Bentryn Family Farms and Butler Green Farms at Morales. Kids at Captain Johnston Blakely Elementary can learn about chicken anatomy and collect eggs at Heyday Farm. “The goal here is to make farms … lived classrooms for students Photo by Joel Sackett to have lived experience that otherwise they would be having inside grown, how farms work,” he said. a classroom,” Garfunkel said. “Learning that And that’s not all. takes place in the most authentic setting Kids learn math, history, and social skills creates the most authentic outcomes and as they work together to count and weigh achievements.” harvested food, and learn about the property The farms serve to “teach larger issues Continued on page 20 about where our food comes from, how it’s

s Bob Dylan so famously graveled, “The times, they are a-changin’.” And it seems nowhere on the island’s music scene are the times more a-changin’ than at the Island Music Guild. While the Island Music Guild has been offering quality music lessons on Bainbridge for 15 years, the renovation of a performance space six months ago has board members in the process of “untangling” the two programs, which share a 10,000-squarefoot facility in Rolling Bay. “We’re really working on making Guild Hall an exciting place, kind of separating the Guild Hall from the teaching side of the building,” said Board President Keely Sawyer, who also teaches Suzuki piano. Amid extensive remodeling, the Guild Hall was born to “provide a community resource for performing arts,” said Cortney Wollaston, a parent who serves on the board. But those at IMG are emphasizing the distinctions between the teaching and performing spaces of the building. “Historically, the Island Music Guild has been all about excellence in music education,” said volunteer Jim Anderson. “By separating out the two distinct paths and missions of these two distinct, not only physical spaces, but business models, if you will, it allows the IMG, the music teacher’s cooperative, to reenergize and refocus around this really important mission of teaching music to kids, adults, whomever,” he said. Guild Hall will become its own entity as of Sept. 1 and will become a subtenant of the

IMG answer the question, “Why are we here?” “Overall, we’re here as a community resource,” Sawyer said. “We’re here to teach music lessons, and why is that important?

Island Time Activities Offers Fun, Skills By Henri Gendreau

eb Buitenveld sits at her desk in the front room of a single-family home on John Adams Lane. Opposite her paper-strewn desk, there is a closet full of arts and crafts materials, and in the other room, members of the organization of which Buitenveld is co-founder and program director are making pizzas. Buitenveld, a former teacher at Woodward Middle School, is telling a story. “We had a birthday party at my house in the garage for a young woman that had just moved to the island,” in 2001, she said. “And we invited several students from our special ed classroom and it was so amazing and fabulous — the sharing and the caring and the friendships that came out of that, that we decided to do that once a week.” And out of that, Island Time Activities was born. Island Time Activities provides services
and activities to locals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Besides offering respite care during the day, ITA also holds weekly programs, like an art club, book club, and Saturday supper club for their members. “There’s like a day center for people with intellectual disabilities — you go in as a group and sit down and you all color or you all paint,” Buitenveld said. “We don’t do that. We look at the individual — what their needs are, what do they need to practice, what do they need to do, and take it as an educational, independence training.” As part of that, ITA’s popular Friday adventure club allows its members to engage in logistics to decide how they would like to approach the day’s activity. “We plan it out as a group and then go do it,” Buitenveld said. “So they’re learning community access skills, looking at ferry schedules, adding up

Every child learns two foreign languages beginning in first grade, which at Madrona is Spanish, and coming this year, Swedish. (Madrona previously offered Japanese.) At Madrona, students learn a stringed instrument in fourth grade and participate in class plays every year, which each time gain more theatrical complexity. “I think one of the things Madrona School does best for its students is to foster in them this sense in themselves that they are capable of doing and trying lots and lots of different kinds of things,” Goss said. In order to offer that kind of education to more students, Madrona, as a tuition-based independent school, relies on outside funding, including help from One Call for All. “With the money that channels to us through One Call, we are able to offer scholarships to students who otherwise we wouldn’t be able to serve,” Goss said. “It’s really important to both raising money for the school and also for providing visibility

as well. We want people to know that we’re here and available to them and being part of One Call allows us to do that.” And it also helps Madrona continue its mission of providing students with a wellbalanced, Waldorf education. “I believe that’s one of the greatest gifts
that we offer to our kids,” Goss said, “is that they have this tremendous breadth of experience and skills and capacities that they can draw on in the future both in terms of their academic accomplishments but even beyond that, their sense of personal satisfaction for themselves in their lives.”

In 2010 EduCulture helped form a schoolto-farm-to-table chain with the Bainbridge Island School District, which became the “Bite of Bainbridge.” Through two farmschool programs, more than 1,700 pounds of potatoes were served in school cafeterias across the island, in addition to local corn and raspberries harvested by veteran farmers.

In 2012, Kitsap County Attorneys donated more than 1900 hours to help low-income residents prevent needless escalation of urgent legal matters. Through Kitsap Legal Services, volunteer attorneys help families, seniors, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable individuals preserve their housing, assert consumer rights, obtain protection from violence, and secure income or benefits. Through clinics held at the Helpline House, local low-income residents receive urgently needed legal advice, brief services, and direct representation at no cost.

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND
volunteer firefighters Carrying on the Tradition
In the summer of 1942, a dedicated group of citizens saw the need for an emergency response team on Bainbridge Island. In November of 1942, our first fire district meeting was attended by 16 volunteer firemen, and by 1946, our ambulance service consisted of a 1936 Buick and a group of dedicated American Legionnaire drivers. From these humble beginnings, our organization has grown enormously, but we have never lost our commitment to volunteerism and serving the community in which we live. Our mission is to serve Bainbridge Island by providing emergency response, training, and equipment to the community. We accomplish this mission by serving as active volunteer firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians, by hosting educational events such as Fun Fair and Pancake Breakfast, by offering CPR and AED training to the community, and by purchasing equipment that we donate to the Bainbridge Island Fire Department. Your contributions have allowed us to add full extrication equipment to fire engines, replace all of our CPR Manikins, purchase advanced airway management tools, send two or more volunteer firefighters to the Washington State Fire Training Academy each year, and much more. When you donate to the Bainbridge Island Volunteer Firefighters Association, you are directly helping to ensure top-tier emergency services in your community. We are deeply grateful for your continued support over the years, and we are honored to carry on the tradition of service that was begun all those decades ago.
