They Changed Lives

Thursday, January 25, 2018

In January 2012, the American Legion Starr Sutherland, Jr. Post 227 in Shoreline initiated a new program to serve the community. They called it the Life Changer Award program.

Flyers were distributed to churches, schools, neighborhood associations, and businesses in Shoreline and surrounding communities, urging people to nominate candidates for the award. The flyer included these words:

“Has your life been changed for the better by another person? If so, you can nominate that person for a Life Changer Award. The person who changed your life profoundly for the better might be a teacher, a parent, a friend, a doctor, a pastor or anyone. This is your chance to thank that person by nominating him/her for the Life Changer Award.”

Since 2012, the award has been offered annually. Each year, nominations are due by May 1. Then a committee of Post 227 members selects the winner. In an award ceremony conducted at post headquarters, the winner receives a framed certificate signed by the post commander and a $200 gift certificate to dine at the Sky City Restaurant atop the Seattle Space Needle.

The first winner was Mrs. Lea Coats, wife of an Everett Police officer. Her nomination came after the marriage of a young couple with three children was in danger of breaking up due to the death of the wife’s father and severe illness of her husband.

Despite having four children of her own and being pregnant with her fifth child, Lea provided sustained, wise counsel that enabled the young couple to weather the storm and stay together. Lea was recognized at a luau held at post headquarters in August, 2012.

winner Bill Briggs, Sr. and Bill’s friend, Ken Hubbard.
Bill Briggs, Sr., of Kenmore, won the Life Changer award in 2013. Over a 40-year period, Bill enabled several thousand kids with physical disabilities to attend Camp Casey, a week-long summer camp, free of charge. At different times, he served as Camp Casey cook, counselor, director, fund raiser and benefactor. 

He did this as a member of the North Central Seattle Kiwanis club, the Camp Casey sponsor. Bill was unable to attend the award ceremony due to illness but he asked his friend, WWII navy veteran Ken Hubbard, to stand in for him. Later, post member Carroll Goering accompanied Ken to Bill’s home to present the award to him.

 2014 Life Changer award to Barbara Williams.
In 2014, the Life Changer award was won by Lake Forest Park resident Barbara Williams, who has spent much of her life serving children with disabilities. As a high school student, she served as a counselor for Kiwanis Camp Casey, a free one-week camp held on Whidbey Island each summer for children with physical disabilities. Later she served as a therapist in the public schools.

After retirement, she became the volunteer director of the Kiwanis Camp Casey program. She is the main driver in raising the $50,000 in funding needed annually and in all other aspects of putting on the camp. Barbara and her husband Paul attended the September 2, 2014 meeting of Post 227, where post commander Shane Freund presented her with the award.


Post 227 Commander Richard White presenting
a Life Changer Award to Virginia Harvey.
In 2015, the Life Changer Award was won by Seattle resident Virginia Harvey. She served as a volunteer at Veterans Hospital twice weekly for more than 15 years, traveling there by Seattle Transit. In addition to delivering blood and other tasks, she moved ailing veterans throughout the hospital in their wheelchairs. 

She certainly made life better for many ailing veterans. Post 227 Commander Richard White presented the Life Changer award to Virginia at the September 1, 2015 meeting of the post.


Post 227 chaplain Larry Fischer presenting the 2016
 Life Changer Award to Kim and Brad Lancaster.
Shoreline residents Kim and Brad Lancaster received the Life Changer Award in 2016. In the fall of 2015, a group of homeless people were desperate. They had been living in tents by a Shoreline church when the property was sold. The group, including families with children, had nowhere to go. That’s when Kim and Brad invited the homeless group to camp in their backyard.

They also offered the group the use of their kitchen, bathroom and laundry facilities. Four months later, these homeless people were able to get on their feet and acquire housing. Kim and Brad certainly made life better by opening their hearts and home to these homeless folks. Post Chaplain Larry Fischer presented the Life Changer Award to the Lancasters at the September 6 meeting of the post.


Past Commander Richard White, left, and Vice Commander
Ray Coffey presenting the Life Changer Award to Leah Setala.
Leah Setala won the Life Changer award in 2017. As a music and band teacher at St. Luke School in Shoreline, Leah goes the extra mile to help children learn to play and enjoy music. When families find that band instruments are beyond their means, Leah helps them acquire used instruments. Those families love hearing their children play music but know none of it would have been possible without Leah.

In their spare time, Leah and her husband acquire furniture and other household items at rummage sales and yard sales. They recondition items needing repair. Then they donate them to the needy at St. Francis House in downtown Seattle. By helping children to play and enjoy music and by helping the needy, Leah made a positive difference in the lives of others. She received the Life Changer Award at the July 15 BBQ of Post 227.


Post 227 is grateful to the persons who took the time to nominate candidates for the Life Changer award. Special congratulations are due to the following people who submitted winning nominations: He Youn Lee nominated the 2012 winner, Lea Coats. Ray Walters nominated the 2013 winner, Bill Briggs, Sr. Mike Servais nominated Barbara Williams, the 2014 winner. The 2015 winner, Virginia Harvey, was nominated by Joyce Crandall. Bettelinn Krizek Brown and Linda Stein nominated the 2016 winners, Kim and Brad Bradford. Bob Grasmick nominated the 2017 winner, Leah Setala.

Post 227 hopes to continue offering the Life Changer award annually as long as members of the community continue to nominate worthy candidates. A flyer announcing the 2018 competition will be coming soon. Watch for it in the Shoreline Area News.

On Tuesday evening, September 6, 2016 at the Post 227 building in Shoreline, Kim and Brad Lancaster were awarded the American Legion Post 227 life changer award.

The award was given for the generous help the couple gave to homeless people.

In the fall of 2015, a group of homeless people, including families with children, had lost their campground in Shoreline and had no place to go.

Shoreline residents Kim and Brad offered their back yard as a campground and also offered access to their bathroom and laundry. The homeless people camped in the Lancaster back yard for four months until they were able to find other places to live.

As winners of the life changer award, Kim and Brad received a framed certificate signed by Richard White, the Post 227 commander. They also received a $200 gift certificate to dine at the Sky City Restaurant atop the Seattle Space Needle. The Lancasters were nominated for the award by Shoreline residents Linda Stein and Bettelinn Brown.

This was the fifth time Post 227 gave their life changer award. In 2012, Lea Coats won the award for her sustained wise counsel that helped a troubled young family with children to stay together (see article). In 2013, Bill Briggs Sr., won the award for enabling several thousand children with physical disabilities to attend free, week-long summer camps (see article).

In 2014, Barbara Williams won the award for her continuing service as the volunteer director of a Kiwanis free, week-long summer camp for children with physical disabilities (see article). In 2015, Virginia Harvey won the award for her many years of volunteer service at Veterans Hospital (see article).

Post 227 intends to continue offering the life changer award annually. Each spring, details on how to nominate candidates for the award will be published in an article in the Shoreline Area News. Please watch for that article if you have a nominee in mind.

SHANNON LYONS
2019 Winner of The American Legion, Post 227, Life Changer Award


On Tuesday September 3rd, 2019 The American Legion Post 227's annual Life Changer Award was given to Mrs. Shannon Lyons for her outstanding help to a homeless couple.

This award is given annually to a person who is nominated by community members for their outstanding service to the community.

Her story:

When Shannon Lyons learned that a homeless wheelchair-bound man, his wife and young daughters were in dire straits, she acted. All the shelters were full when Shannon found them. They were standing in the rain and cold beside Aurora Avenue. They had only a single shopping cart and a few bags hanging on the back of the man’s wheelchair. The man suffered from a disease which cost him the use of his arms and legs.

Shannon, her neighbor and their teen-age daughters loaded food and clothing into a car and went to rescue the homeless family. Using her own money, Shannon rented them a room in a local hotel. She then mounted a campaign that raised over $12,000. With the man’s social security income, it was enough to rent the family a house that Shannon helped them find.

By rescuing the homeless family, Shannon Lyons certainly made life better for them. She is the winner of The American Legion Post 227’s 2019 Life Changer Award.

Bill Briggs, Sr., is this year’s winner of the American Legion Post 227 Life Changer Award. Over a 40-year period, Bill enabled several thousand physically disabled kids to attend a week-long summer camp, free of charge.

At different times, he served as Camp Casey cook, counselor, director, fund raiser and benefactor.   He did this as a member of the North Central Seattle Kiwanis club, the Camp Casey sponsor. For enriching the lives of thousands of disabled kids, Bill Briggs richly deserved the 2013 Life Changer Award. The award included a framed certificate signed by the Post 227 commander, Richard Seslar, and a $200 gift certificate for dining in the Sky City restaurant atop the Seattle Space Needle. Bill was nominated for the award by Ray Walters, President of the North Central Kiwanis club.

Post 227 held a luau on September 14 to honor Bill Briggs. Unfortunately, health issues prevented him from attending the luau. Bill’s friend, fellow Kiwanian and WWII Navy veteran, Ken Hubbard, attended the luau to accept the award on Bill’s behalf. Later, Ken and Post 227 member Carroll Goering went to Bill’s home to present the award materials to him.

Chair, Post 227 Awards committee

Is there someone who has changed your life for the better? Here’s your chance to give an unsung hero the recognition they deserve. American Legion Post 227 is seeking entries for their Life Changer Award, now in its second year. The award recognizes a life-changing contribution that aided a local individual, organization or even an entire community.

Under updated rules this year, the winner could include anyone who aided an organization such as a church, school or neighborhood center, to name just a few examples. Any individual who has benefitted can make a nomination. The winner is eligible for a $200 gift certificate.

Last year’s winner was Lea Coates, from Brookville Community Church in Lynnwood.   As a volunteer case coach for the Safe Families effort, her wise counsel enabled a troubled family on the point of breaking up to stay together.

“Our hope is to be a safety net for families that lack support and help them get back on their feet as soon as possible,” noted Lea, herself a mother of five, at the awards ceremony. She was nominated for the honor by a member of the family she assisted.

The attached flyer details the rules for entries. Please print and post as many copies as you wish, in places where the most people in your organization can see them.  Also, please feel free to forward the flyer to others for posting.  With your help, we hope most people in Shoreline and surrounding communities will have an opportunity to take part.
