A third-generation Eastsider, Bob is deeply committed to his community, as shown through the many ways he gives back to the place he calls home
ANNUAL KLAHANIE FOOD DRIVE
Bob founded the Annual Klahanie Food Drive in 1988 to benefit the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank. Since that time, the yearly event has provided more than 90 tons (180,000 pounds) of food to needy families in the area. Every year Bob publicizes the event, and then sets up a central location within Klahanie to receive donations. Pumpkins are given away to everyone who donates. Bob gives all the credit to his neighbors: "We couldn't do this without the community's generosity."
A message received from one The Issaquah Food Bank's long-term home delivery clients about the pumpkins:
"It was such a surprise to get a pumpkin a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to let you know I've never had pumpkin soup before, but with my caregiver, she made pumpkin soup and it was absolutely wonderful. And that's what we did with our pumpkin besides enjoying him and just watching him for a couple of days. So thank you. That was a wonderful, wonderful surprise and good to eat too. So take good care of yourselves and I just appreciate all that you guys do. Thank you. Blessings. Bye."
FOURTH OF JULY FLAGS
Bob has been placing flags throughout the Klahanie community since 1989, and has very much enjoyed the thumbs up and horn toots that the flags create. He sincerely wishes everyone a safe, fun, and happy Fourth of July.
SHREDDING EVENT
As a community service, Bob provides a Free Shredding event at his Annual Food Drive. Additionally, the Windermere Issaquah office hosts Free Shredding and Electronics Recycling Event twice a year, giving residents a way to safely and professionally dispose of sensitive documents and electronics that they no longer need.
