Student of the Month: Debbie Granger thanked our club, and George Bowman in particular, for the scholarships and our commitment to the SOM program. The volunteer of the month is Tiffany Reisenberg. Tiffany talked eloquently about volunteering for the Mountain Stewards program (part of the North Cascades Institute): This summer, she and about 50 other volunteers hiked along trails of Mount Baker providing help and education for hikers that they met along the trails. She also volunteered for the NW Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. She was raised in a family that really valued the outdoors and the environment.
