The Marysville chapter’s altruistic contributions to our community include many dollars and hours of service to the Marysville Community Food Bank, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, St. Joseph's House, Kloz for Kids, Children's Orthopedic Hospital, Everett Women and Children's Shelter, Ronald McDonald House, and many other charitable projects. The key goals of the organization are to recognize outstanding educators, build a fraternal fellowship among educators adding to their effectiveness in promoting excellence in education, and promote educational, cultural and charitable projects that enrich the lives of individuals. “We salute the contributions of women educators to the health and well-being of all citizens,” Nehring says.
