TWO WHEELS, ONE ENGINE, ZERO LIMITS
July, 2015
Fellow Kiwanian Howard Phillips is still trekking across the United States. He hit the news recently and was interviewed by an NBC affiliate out of Naples, Florida. Excerpted below is his interview:
Out on the road, Howard Phillips is quite the sight. The Washington native's bike is stacked sky high
with stickers, wrist bands, and pledge cards, as he treks across the country, city to city, raising mon-
ey for the Wounded Warrior Project.
"90 percent of us never served in the military, and if it wasn't for those guys and gals that put on a
uniform and carry a gun, our life would be totally different," he said.
Starting out just north of Seattle, Phillips has already logged more than 5,000 miles on his Harley,
spreading the word about the organization. The organization helps injured soldiers recover, whether
that be physically or emotionally, once they return from combat.
"I raised four kids in a very peaceful situation because of them," he said.
He's doing it all out of love for our country.
"Howard's story is a little unique because he's somebody who's a citizen, not a veteran, and he's out
there raising money to do this," said John Tabar, of Naples Harley-Davidson.
One of Phillips' stops was at the Naples Harley-Davidson Sunday.
"What i'm recommending is people take one dollar for each year they've enjoyed their freedom, and
contribute it to the wounded warrior project," said Phillips.
Phillips will hit Everglades City before heading back up the east coast to visit Columbia, Boston and
Minneapolis as part of his 10-city tour. The ride hasn't always been easy.
"Coming through some of the Florida rain has been memorable," he exclaimed.
But he says it's all worth it for our men and women in uniform.
"It's my 12,000 mile ride to say thanks!"
Thanks Howard, we are proud of you.
AND…..TO OUR CLUB MEMBERS, HAVE A SAFE AND FUN 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND.

Steve Conklé, Rex Caldwell It was great to get out to Camp Killoqua
and get some much needed painting
accomplished. Last year, the club
scheduled a work day but had to cancel
due to weather. However, the crew
this year was able to really put their
stamp on the place, and voila! Job Well
Done. Jon Van Gerpen was on site, but
in a different location (thanks Jon)
Sunday, June 28

HP Clubhouse
Our club was pleased to award fifteen very worthy students from Kamiak High School,
Mariner High School and ACES with scholarships this year. In attendance was Mukilteo School
Board Member Michael Simmons who presented a wonderful speech and thanked our club
for the support and efforts we put forth to help further the education of our local youth.
Fellow Kiwanian and also School Board Member Ron Johnson was on hand to share in the
moment.
Scholarship Co-Chair Julie Martin presented
students with $500 each. (some students
are not pictured due to scheduling conflicts)
A special thank you to the Scholarship
Committee (Tom Nielson, Co-Chair, Beth
Kerwin, Layli Lewis, and Scott Whelpley)
who spent time reviewing applications and
selecting students this year. The committee
had to narrow the choices from 34 to 15!
This is one of the reasons our club works
hard all year; so that we can share in the
future success of our young people.
To round out the meeting, Lt. Governor
Gary Wolfe and six members from the Lake
Stevens Kiwanis joined us, making this an
inter-club event. Awesome!
