Does it have the strength to stop another vehicle that outweighs it by over 100,000 tons? And can your vehicle spin on a dime? Tugboats can! Crowley owns and operates some of the most advanced tugboats in the world. Most of the things you use every day—clothes, computers, TVs, cars, makeup and gasoline—are delivered on ships that require tugboats to assist them to dock safely. Think of a bus trying to park in a crowded mall parking lot where the pavement is continuously moving. Crowley’s experienced crews and strong, nimble tugboats keep the waters of Puget Sound safe, and help get their cargo to the docks so they can be delivered to local stores and retail outlets. Crowley also offers scholarships to a variety of colleges, universities and maritime academies across the Sailors’ Union of the Pacific country—including several on the West Coast—for students who will become our next generation of leaders.

Together, they formed Massachusetts, stands outside the historic residence where a small group of activists the Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts—the first ACLU state affiliate in founded the organization in 1920. the nation. The ACLU has always been rooted in courage and guided by a vision: to extend the promise of civil rights and civil liberties to all people. In 1920, the U.S. Supreme Court had yet to uphold a single free speech claim. So- called radicals were rounded up and deported in droves. Activists languished in jail for distributing anti-war literature and for promoting contraception and equal rights. Women won the right to vote just that year, and the Voting Rights Act was decades away. Equal rights for LGBTQ people were unthinkable. And yet, the ACLU dared to envision how, by standing together in support of civil rights and civil liberties, we could create a more just and equitable nation for all. Much has changed in the last century—but our role has not. For 100 years, the ACLU has been the leading defender of freedom here in Massachusetts and nationwide. The ACLU has grown from a small group of idealists to a vast resistance movement.

The Seattle Foundation’s commitment to building a healthy community for all King County residents remains as strong as ever. In 2008, with our donors, we granted more than $63 million to over 2000 organizations and promising initiatives in King County and beyond. Though our assets declined like most investments nationwide, The Seattle Foundation’s portfolio performed well when benchmarked against comparable endowments. In the longer term, The Seattle Foundation has outperformed portfolios comprised of traditional stocks and bonds due to prudent and responsible stewardship of charitable funds that has been the basis of our investment strategy for decades. The Seattle Foundation is also leading efforts to respond to increasing need in our community. Late last year The Seattle Foundation joined forces with the United Way of King County and other local funders to create the Building Resilience Fund—a three-year, $6 million effort to help local people who have been hardest hit by the economic downturn. Through this fund, we are bolstering the capacity of selected nonprofits to meet increasing basic needs and providing a network of services to put people on the road on self-reliance.

Box 71 Vincennes, Indiana 47591 March 28, 2015 Ladies and Gentlemen: Vincennes is Indiana’s first city, and this historic community lays claim to many other Indiana firsts—first bank, first newspaper, first university, first hospital, and the capital of the Indiana Territory, before Indiana became a state.DOUGLAS It seems E. STEELE fitting, PRESIDENT that Vincennes should also be home to the first Rotary club chartered in a town of less than 25,000 people, a town that Rotary International thought was too small to sustain a club! After nearly two years of persistence, and with the help and sponsorship of the Terre Haute Rotary Club, Vincennes received its charter, and the rest is history. We not only became a viable Rotary club but have been an active, vibrant club that is doing what good Rotary clubs do—making a difference in their community and beyond! Welcome to the Vincennes Rotary Centennial Celebration, and thank you for helping us celebrate our successful, first 100 years. Last October, we were the first club in District 6580 to conduct a three-year visioning process which, I feel confident, will help us to positively kick off our second 100 years.
