Shorecrest Dublin Dollars group honored for community service

Sunday, May 27, 2012

Dublin Dollars, the community group which raised funds to support the Shorecrest High School recent trip to Ireland, was among those honored by the Washington Association of School Administrators (WASA) at its Community Recognition Awards luncheon held May 18 at the Puget Sound Educational Service District in Renton.

Each year, WASA 110, which includes Shoreline, holds a luncheon and an awards ceremony to honor community leaders nominated by their respective districts.

Representing Dublin Dollars at the event were Mary Grassley, Barb Swan and Peter Hughes, accompanied by Superintendent Sue Walker and Shorecrest Principal Pat Hegarty.

Dublin Dollars raised more than $44,000 to support the trip by the Shorecrest marching band, pipers. Flags and Highland Dancers to Dublin to participate in the St. Patrick's Day parade and tour sites in Ireland.

The Dublin Dollars nomination read as follows:
"The "Dublin Dollars" fundraising group was an immense help in making the Ireland tour a reality. From June 2011 through February 2012 the volunteers of this organization provided numerous opportunities for Shorecrest students to earn money for their trip. 
"This group of parents and community members graciously gave of themselves so that our students could have the opportunity of a lifetime. In nine months they raised in excess of $44,000. They kept up a Web site, Facebook page as well as a Google group to promote their efforts. They also were sensitive to families having difficulties and reached out to several to get them help with the cost of the trip. Some of the parents made personal and gift matching contributions to allow scholarships to be offered, beyond the usual fundraising efforts for the entire group. 
"The experience for Shorecrest students has been immeasurable. The 135 Shorecrest students, accompanied by 30 staff and parents, spent 10 days in Ireland performing, touring, and bonding. While the trip was a musical success, it was also a deep cultural learning experience as well. They visited Dublin, Limerick, Killarney, Cobh, Dingle, Athlone, Galway, and points in between. They had the chance to meet and interact with Irish high school students and to share a performance with a community youth band from Athlone."

Shoreline Deputy Superintendent Marcia Harris was also honored at the luncheon. She will retire August 31 after 37 years overall in public education.

Locks of Love to Dublin Dollars

Sunday, February 5, 2012

2nd from left, Mary Grassley, Chair of Dublin Dollars
Stylist Amy Smith
Kendahl Adjololo

Kendahl Adjorlolo has donated hair to Locks of Love three times. "I look upon my hair as a crop," she commented. So it was natural that she thought of a way to combine her passion for Locks of Love with her passion for helping band kids from Shorecrest get to Ireland for the St. Patrick's Day parades.

Locks of Love is an organization that takes donated hair, which must be at least ten inches long, and weaves it into wigs for disadvantaged, young patients who have lost their hair for any medical reason.

Dublin Dollars is the volunteer group raising funds to help families pay for the trip to Ireland in March for the Shorecrest Band and Choir.

Kendahl and Dublin Dollars chair Mary Grassley recruited a dozen women with long hair. Each of them found people to sponsor them. Donations from the sponsors went to Dublin Dollars. The hair went to Locks of Love.

On January 27, hair donors gathered at the James Alan Salon and Spa, at 192nd and Aurora. James Alan, owned by Matthew Fairfax, donated the hair cuts.

Heather Pence Sevier went on the band trip when she was at Shorecrest. Now married and living in Cheney, Washington, she had her hair cut and sent it to the committee, along with her donations.

Mary explained that Dublin Dollars has raised $40,000 to date, in three funds. Fund A includes the hair cuts and direct sales, such as the See's Candy event. 90% of the profit goes to the individual student.

Fund B is from work events, like the car washes. Students have to work for money and get a percentage of money from the event, based on the number of hours they worked.

Fund C is the general fund, from direct donations. The money raised is distributed equally among all the students who worked at least twelve hours in the fund raisers.

The trip costs $3,500 per student and 137 are going. The families have to make up the balance.

The school participates in the Irish events every four years, so every band/choir student gets one opportunity to go.

"Some of the kids have been raising money for over a year," said Kendahl. "They mow lawns in the summer, babysit, and do odd jobs. One girl bought a set of paints and went to every fair she could find all summer. She put out a donation jar and did face painting. She raised the entire amount in one summer."

No one can remember when Shorecrest started going to Ireland. A lot of people guessed 1998, but others asserted that the trips started in the 1970s.

Two sets of mother-daugthers participated in the Locks of Love for Dublin Dollars event at the James Alan Salon and Spa on Friday, January 26, 2012.

Michelle Landis and daughter Sydney Landis volunteered immediately. Michelle said that her hair was already shoulder-length in September, when the event was announced. "My hair grows really fast."


Yea! Hair gone!
Sydney Landis is very pleased.

Sydney, who plays flute in the band, was just tired of having long hair. "I just wanted it gone," she said.

Michelle and Sydney were donating their hair to Locks of Love, an organization that makes wigs for young medical patients. 

They got sponsors to donate to them and that money went to the Dublin Dollars, which raises money to help Shorecrest Band and Choir students go to Ireland for St. Patrick's Day parades and events.

Sydney got donations from friends, family, church members, and her parents. (Donate on this page.)

The James Alan Salon donated the cuts and provided the salon space for the event.

Judy Robertson has a friend in the band. She was getting tired of her long hair and was ready for a change. 

Coincidentally, her step-daughter Melaina Robertson, a student at Edmonds-Woodway High School in Edmonds, was doing a job shadow at James Alan.

Stylist Mandy Hampton explained what she was doing as she cut Judy's hair.

"It's perfect," they all said. Judy got a style cut, Melaina got job shadow hours, Locks of Love got the hair, and Dublin Dollars got the sponsor money.

Free document shredding, Saturday, July 23, with entertainment

Thursday, July 14, 2011

Photo by David Morris
You have just over a week to get those old tax returns, love letters, and embarrassing photos together so you can have them professionally shredded, for free, by the DataSite company.

Fill your car.  There's no limit.  

From 9 am to noon on Saturday, July 23, bring your old files to the Lake Forest Park Windermere, 17711 Ballinger Way NE, just inside Lake Forest Park Towne Centre.  Take the first driveway off Ballinger and turn right, the building is in the northwest corner.

Staples and paper clips are ok, but take out the binder clips - they jam the shredding equipment.  And no x-rays, CDs or other forms of media.

It's going to take a lot of shredded paper to get all these kids to Ireland.
Photo from Dublin Dollars.org
DataSite will sell the shredded paper for reuse and donate the proceeds to Dublin Dollars, the volunteer organization which is raising money to send the Shorecrest marching band and choir to march in the 2012 St. Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin, Ireland.

Members of the band will be playing during the shredding event. 

If you are wondering what tax documents you should keep and which you should shred, here's advice from a tax accountant:
Retain the basic information used for the tax return for 5 years. Other, non-tax receipts should be kept for three years. I think pay stubs need only be kept for three. You should keep your tax returns permanently.
