Community Volunteer Affiliations

Alan and Frank believe that service is the rent we pay for the space we occupy on this earth.  That’s why they participate in various community and social service organizations:

Alan has been a "Big Brother" for the past 3 years to a young (now 14) boy without a father present as part of the "Big Brothers and Big Sisters of King and Pierce Counties".   This is actually his second stint at this; he was a "Big Brother" after his return from Vietnam service in 1971; then it was time for a break for his wife and him to raise their own children.

There is a great need for caring, stable, and wonderful men and women to provide companionship, guidance, and example to young boys and girls around the nation.  Its great fun: Alan gets to go places and do things like laser tag, baseball games, fishing, video games, and occasionally help with some homework like math and term papers that he could never do without his “escort”!  Interested?  Find out more by checking it All out at this link:

We also support the "Great Strides" fund raising walk to raise money to research the cure for Cystic Fibrosis, a disease that affects the lungs and digestive system that affects children.   A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food. 

In the 1950s, very few children with this disease lived to attend elementary school. Today, advances in research and medical treatments have further enhanced and extended life for children and adults with CF. Many people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s and beyond.
