To cause something to happen or be created; to breathe in, inhale and bring in new air; to exert an invigorating and exalting influence upon a person; to fill others with courage, purpose and enthusiasm.

Dear Friends: Just over a year ago, we started to feel the full impact that COVID-19 could have on our community. Schools closed, restaurants shut down, visitors couldn’t come into our hospital. Like many, I worried what this “new normal” would mean. What would it mean for our hospital and all who depend on it? As I sit here today, reflecting on how 2020 unfolded, I’m amazed by the generosity of our donor community. Again. At a time when our hospital and community needed our donors more than ever, they came through— more than ever. Last year, Providence General Foundation supporters gave more than $10.4 million dollars. That’s a record of giving in the midst of the worst health crisis of our lifetime. In this issue of Inspire, we want to shine a spotlight on the people who made this possible, as well as the difference such generosity is making— in big ways and small. You’ll meet a couple who is literally saving lives through their giving. You’ll read how donors gave more than a million dollars to expand our Autism Center so it can offer ten times the clinical hours to local children and families. You’ll meet a young stroke survivor who needed emergency care, close to home. You’ll also see exciting news about a landmark campaign that’s helping Providence further elevate care in Trauma, Neurosciences, Heart, Cancer and Children’s Services. Speaking of news, I have some of my own to share. I recently transitioned out of my role as Chief Philanthropy Officer. I’ll still be around, though! I plan to keep supporting The Campaign for A Greater Providence and helping the Foundation team during this transition. It has been such an honor to partner with you over the years and be continually amazed and humbled by what we can accomplish when we work together. Many of you know Tina Gilson—she’s moving from Development Director to Interim Chief Philanthropy Officer until my replacement is named. Thank you, each and every one of you, who’ve invested in innovative medicine and extraordinary people at Providence Everett. You’ve helped your hospital grow and thrive, even during the rough times. I’m excited to watch what’s next.

ELE VATING HEALTH CARE

Everyday People Making an Extraordinary Difference Marshall and Katherine Cymbaluk call themselves “everyday people.” What they recently did, however, does not happen every day. The long-time Everett couple—along with their son Jeff, his wife Jodie, and their two daughters Jaime and Hannah—made a transformational gift to the Providence General Foundation that elevates health care in Snohomish County and the surrounding region.

The family’s $5-million gift to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett grew from childhood lessons in giving, a lifetime of earnest work and a strong desire to bring an innovative, life-saving procedure to their hometown.

Vintage values

emergency intervention had to be transferred to a Seattle-area hospital.

The Cymbaluks are 50-year residents of Snohomish County— and a local business success story. They operate Motor Trucks, Inc., an Everett-based franchise for International Trucks that provides parts, sales and services for heavy-duty trucks. The Cymbaluks also owned Kenworth Northwest, a truck dealership with locations in Washington and Alaska, before selling that company in 2018.

“Patients shouldn’t need to go all the way to Seattle in an emergency like a stroke—it is a waste of precious time,” the Cymbaluks said. “We wanted to make sure that Prov has the technology and talent to provide these critical, life-saving services right here in Everett.”

They each say the values of hard, honest work and giving back to the community were planted in childhood. Marshall says his hard-working parents didn’t have much extra but managed to find something to give back to the community. Katherine watched her parents volunteer and tirelessly pitch in to help their small town.

Inspirational impact

“So, you know, it kind of rubs off on you,” said Katherine. And now Marshall and Katherine are continuing to pass along this important life-lesson to their own family for generations to come.

Modern technology

Because of this generous gift, Providence Everett now has the equipment and specialized medical staff to offer this treatment right here in Everett—around the clock.

This isn’t the first time the Cymbaluk Family has made a transformational gift to Providence Everett. In 2011, they donated $5 million toward construction of a new, 12-story medical tower on the Providence Colby Campus. That facility, named the Marshall & Katherine Cymbaluk Medical Tower, opened in 2013 and has had a dramatic impact on the region’s health care, especially during the recent COVID-19 pandemic.

“The Cymbaluk’s support over the years has had a significant impact on Providence and our ability to deliver world-class care to our patients, in every situation,” said Jay Cook, Chief Medical Officer of Providence Regional Medical Center Everett. “Their latest gift is yet another demonstration of their inspiring generosity, extraordinary leadership and deep commitment to our community.” Both Katherine and Marshall Cymbaluk have long ties to Providence. Katherine was a registered nurse in the orthopedics and mother-baby units at the former Everett General Hospital, which merged with Providence in mid 1990s. In the late 1970s, Marshall was an early member of the Providence Hospital Foundation Board, which is now known as the Providence General Foundation. With this latest gift, the family has invested nearly $11 million in Providence and our community. They say they feel strongly about giving back and hope their gift will inspire others to do the same.

The $5-million gift was inspired by Marshall and Katherine’s desire to help Providence Regional Medical Center bring innovative stroke treatment to the people of this region. “When we heard about Providence’s plans to expand its stroke care, we decided to step in and try to make it happen more quickly,” shared Marshall and Katherine. Providence Everett has a nationally recognized and awardwinning stroke program. This gift raises the bar even more by giving patients around-the-clock access to a procedure called a catheter-based thrombectomy which quickly removes a strokecausing blood clot from the brain via a small incision in the groin. Until now, patients in need of this

The enhancement of stroke services is part of a wider investment by Providence and Providence General Foundation in key service lines, including Neurosciences, Trauma, Heart, Cancer and Children’s Services.

“Everyday people can make a difference,” says Katherine, with a wink.

Together, We Can Make A Greater Providence For Everyone It’s no secret that our region is growing exponentially. More and more people are moving to our area. It’s also no surprise—it’s a great place to live. However, as population and traffic congestion increase, access to advanced, life-saving health care—close to home— becomes critical. We need it for our health and for our quality of life. That’s why Providence Regional Medical Center Everett is investing more than $115 million into key programs such as Heart, Neuro, Trauma, Cancer and Children’s Services—to ensure that our community has the best care possible, with no need to travel to Seattle. To help Providence achieve this, the Providence General Foundation is raising a minimum of $28 million of that total investment. The Campaign for A Greater Providence is our community’s opportunity to help take Providence Everett to the next level. In addition to key clinical programs, the campaign is funding more inpatient beds, more surgical suites including one dedicated for Trauma patients, and new and upgraded catheterization labs with the latest cardiac technology available. We invite you today to be part of this historic campaign to make our great Providence hospital even greater.

Neurosciences and Stroke Care The days of traveling to Seattle for advanced Neuro and Stroke Care are coming to an end. Providence’s Neurosciences Institute is elevating its ability to treat brain tumors, movement disorders, spinal conditions and even lifethreatening strokes—right here in Snohomish County. Investments in expanded clinical space, research and education, innovative technology, and expert surgeons and equipment are saving lives right here in our community.

Innovative Heart Care Innovation and technology are changing how heart care is delivered— from replacing damaged valves with a tiny catheter to inserting an innovative pacemaker the size of a penny. Hybrid procedures involving both open-heart surgeons and interventional cardiologists are driving the need for more high-tech operating rooms and collaborative clinical space for physicians to meet with patients. These are just a few of the investments Providence will be making to ensure we have the most innovative and comprehensive heart services available.

The Next Level of Trauma Services

Cancer Care and Treatment

Comprehensive Children’s Services

In our region, hundreds of trauma patients a year bypass Providence Everett to receive care in Seattle, delaying their access to emergent, life-saving care. To develop a more extensive program—and eventually elevate to Level 1 Trauma Center status—Providence is investing in more trauma surgeons and staff, a trauma-dedicated operating room and an expanded rehabilitation and public outreach program to better serve our growing region.

While Providence provides unsurpassed and award-winning treatment for most cancers, we are further strengthening care by expanding our clinical programs, making significant technology upgrades, and increasing our cancer research program to bring more clinical trials and treatment options to our patients.

We believe every child should have the opportunity to grow and thrive. As our community grows at record pace, so does the need for comprehensive services for area children and families. Providence continues to invest in key services lines that impact some of our most vulnerable patients—such as the Providence Boyden Family Autism Center, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and outpatient behavioral health services in our Pediatric clinics.

SPIRITUAL CARE

Caring for our Caregivers W hen we think about trauma, it’s usually patients who come to mind. Our frontline caregivers, however, often experience a type of trauma, too. Treating catastrophic injuries, dealing with abrasive patients or facing the stress and heartbreak that COVID-19 adds can overwhelm a caregiver’s coping mechanisms and negatively impact their work and health.

Providence Regional Medical Center Everett caregivers have access to a variety of well-being resources— including Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM), a peer-to-peer support intervention for dealing with the aftermath of trauma. Under the CISM debriefing program, trained facilitators conduct a group or individual debriefing or defusing when caregivers have experienced a traumatic or critical incident at work. This helps caregivers process their thoughts, feelings and reactions so they can safely return to work after a critical incident.

COVID-19 increases the need Last spring, when COVID-19 hit Snohomish County with full force, requests for CISM response at Providence Everett increased exponentially. Staff caring for COVID patients were deeply affected by the high number of critical patients and those who died without family members at

their side. Many caregivers were also anxious about their own safety and the safety of their families.

“We had only four CISMtrained chaplains at the hospital,” says Father Ken Chukwu, Spiritual Care Manager for PRMCE. “The demand was so great, we struggled to conduct debriefings within the recommended timeframe. We needed more caregivers with CISM training.” At about the time Father Ken began looking for funding to train more caregivers to meet the increased demand, a Providence General Foundation donor felt compelled to make a donation specifically for improving the well-being of Providence Everett caregivers. The donor had learned of a New York doctor who died by suicide after struggling with the hopelessness of caring for COVID-19 patients—and he wanted to prevent such a tragedy from happening here. Using that donation for CISM training was an obvious choice, and Fr. Ken quickly organized a caregiver training session. “We wanted to train enough caregivers to develop a duty schedule to better cover the growing need,” he said. “We hoped to recruit caregivers from a range of departments so they could be embedded around the hospital for peer-to-peer support.”

Equipping Providence caregivers to support one another That initial donation, along with other COVID relief donations, allowed 39 hospital caregivers to participate in a three-day, virtual training conducted by the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation Academy. It also generated much interest and a waiting list of other Providence Everett caregivers seeking CISM certification. The Spiritual Care team partnered with the Foundation to find more funding to train those caregivers. The Henry Luce Foundation, through the Chaplaincy Innovation Lab at Brandeis University, granted $23,000 to “support resilience among frontline caregivers” by growing the CISM program even more. This generous grant allowed Providence Everett to provide CISM training to 40 additional hospital caregivers, support temporary staffing, purchase iPads to be used for virtual debriefings, and buy literature for continued education to the CISM Team. “CISM will help support a culture where caregivers feel comfortable being vulnerable and talking about how traumatic events affect them,” Fr. Ken says. “It’s important our caregivers are physically and emotionally healthy so they can live fulfilling lives away from work, as well as help carry out our mission of caring for the most vulnerable in our communities.”

It’s because of you Providence General Foundation is grateful for the dedicated support of our donors and the greater community. Because of your generosity and commitment, we can care for our caregivers as they serve patients, families and each other.

“It’s important our caregivers are physically and emotionally healthy so they can live fulfilling lives away from work, as well as help carry out our mission of caring for the most vulnerable in our communities.” Father Ken Chukwu, Spiritual Care Manager for PRMCE, is training our caregivers to support the mental and emotional health of their colleagues.

STROKE CARE

Real-life Emergency Takes Center Stage 10

mber Jensen of Snohomish loves drama. The 19 year old prefers the singing, dancing and acting kind, as opposed to the real-life drama that happened last October.

It began with a headache one Wednesday, after five hours of on-line college. “I thought it was just a normal headache from being on the computer too much,” Amber said. “Turns out it wasn’t.” The headache was abnormal enough that she called her mom, Keri, who was out running errands in Everett.

They decided Amber should take a break from her computer screen and lie down for a bit.

A few minutes later, Amber’s older brother called their mom to say Amber’s headache had gotten worse. On the third call, Amber’s brother relayed a frightening message: Amber was numb on her left side and couldn’t lift her left arm. Keri called 911 and arrived at home just as the ambulance did.

“Too young to have a stroke” Both Amber and her mom knew Amber’s symptoms were textbook signs of stroke, but Amber is only 19. “I was thinking ‘I’m too young to have a stroke—this is crazy,’” Amber said. When Amber arrived in the Emergency Department (ED) at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, the ED team ran tests and started her on an IV medication to dissolve blood clots. “I was afraid for her life,” said Keri. Amber and her mom were both scared but say the compassion and care Amber received at Providence put them at ease. “The doctors and nurses that I had were really nice,” said Amber. “They made my nerves go down.”

College in the afternoon, ICU in the evening After her initial treatment in the ED, Amber was moved to the Intensive Care Unit where she could be closely watched through the night. By the middle of the night, she was able to feel and move her left side again. “Every single person there totally made me feel calm,” said Keri. “They were so supportive.” The next task was to figure out whether Amber had a mild stroke, and why. It’s certainly rare for a young, otherwisehealthy person. An echocardiogram revealed a tiny hole in Amber’s heart. Doctors told the family a small clot may have gotten through and gone to her brain. They may never know for sure what caused Amber’s medical emergency, but her family is grateful that Providence Everett was so close, and able to quickly care for Amber when she needed it.

“Having everything right here is so reassuring,” said Keri. “I feel like if they didn’t do what they did she could possibly be paralyzed on one half of her body for the rest of her life.” Doctors want to keep an eye on the hole in Amber’s heart, which may eventually need to be repaired. To decrease her risk of stroke, they’ve also told Amber to take one baby aspirin every day and stay away from caffeine. The caffeine part is tough for a college student, but Amber isn’t complaining. She’s happy to be back to school, back to work and—before long—she hopes to get back on stage. “I don’t have any deficits at all,” says Amber. “I’m fine.”

Amber was treated using a clot-busting medication delivered intravenously. Not all stroke-causing blood clots can be treated this way. In more serious cases, a new procedure called an interventional thrombectomy can be used. A small catheter is inserted in the groin which then travels to the blocked area of the brain and removes the clot. Providence began offering this lifesaving, around-the-clock capability in early January, and patients are already benefiting from this new technology.

HEART CARE

He Knows That Providence Will “Take Care of You” “There’s a state-of-the-art facility and top-notch doctors, right here in our backyard,” Tom says. “There are so many benefits of not having to travel for care. Patients have more family support at home. They don’t have to fight Seattle traffic. They just feel more comfortable.”

A change of heart Last summer, Tom’s perspective of Providence moved from his head, to his heart. For the first time in his life, Tom, himself, needed Providence.

or decades, the Dwayne Lane Auto Family has ended its radio and TV jingles with the promise “We’ll take care of you.”

Providence Regional Medical Center Everett might not have a catchy tune, but Tom Lane knows— firsthand—that his local hospital lives up to that same pledge. Tom has long understood the value of having world-class health care close to home. As the secondgeneration owner of Dwayne Lane Auto Family, he compares a strong regional hospital like Providence to good schools. “It’s a quality-of-life issue,” he says. “As a businessman, I know those things help attract and retain employees.” As a life-long Snohomish County resident, family man, and hospital donor, Tom’s seen how Providence changes lives. Over the years, several family members have received care at his hometown hospital. 12

Years ago, Tom had been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation—often referred to as AFib—a condition where the heart doesn’t squeeze and pump efficiently. He’d been on a regimen of medication and routine EKGs since his 20s. “I’m pretty in tune with my heart,” he says. So, when his heart started “really jumping around,” he knew something wasn’t right. Tom, then 50, began to experience what’s called an atrial flutter, a condition where the upper chambers of the heart beat too fast. The danger? These rapid, abnormal contractions can create blood clots, which could ultimately cause a devastating stroke or even heart failure. Unlike atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter can’t be controlled with medication.

Heart “electrician” offers a solution Tom consulted with Ricardo Cardona, MD, a cardiac electrophysiologist with the Everett Clinic. Dr. Cardona recommended ablation, a minimally

invasive, catheter-based procedure, to correct the atrial flutter and fix the atrial fibrillation on the opposite side of Tom’s heart, too. Cardiac electrophysiologists, often referred to as “electricians of the heart,” treat electrical issues like abnormal heart rhythms. Dr. Cardona told Tom he’d use a procedure called an ablation, to scar the abnormal heart tissue and restore normal rhythm. Dr. Cardona performs about 15 such procedures each week in one of the donor-funded Cardiac Catheterization Labs at Providence. Tom’s had his ablation in July 2020—feeling confident and safe, even amidst the COVID outbreak. Dr. Cardona made a small cut near Tom’s groin, guided a thin catheter to Tom’s heart and fixed his atrial flutter. He repeated the process on the other side to correct his atrial fibrillation. The procedure took about 5 hours, and Tom went home the same day.

He didn’t need to go to Seattle Tom serves on the Executive Committee for The Campaign for A Greater Providence where he talks to other business owners about supporting Providence’s drive to provide world-class health care in Snohomish County and the surrounding area. Now, the longtime donor uses his own experience to encourage others to invest in Providence, too. “People ask if I went to Seattle,” Tom says. “No, I didn’t go to Seattle. I didn’t need to.”

“My experience affirmed everything I already knew. Community investment in a strong regional hospital will absolutely pay dividends. I feel good about my investment.”

2020 ANNUAL REPORT

Extraordinary Generosity in 2020 In 2020, Providence General Foundation received more than $10.4 million in new gifts and commitments from donors who support the work and mission of Providence Regional Medical Center Everett. This is the most ever raised in one year. We are incredibly grateful for the steadfast support our donors have shown, especially through the challenges of COVID-19. This generosity allowed the Foundation to support the hospital’s COVID-19 response, while continuing to invest in new medical equipment and technology, behavioral health support for adults and children, important screening and patient support services and community health programs that serve the most vulnerable. Every gift helps elevate health care in our hospital and community—and we are so thankful.

2020 Major Areas of Support In 2020, Providence General Foundation distributed more than $4 million to Providence Regional Medical Center and community initiatives. Every area of investment in 2020 impacted our ability to respond to COVID successfully, especially the opening of two new inpatient units that added 64 additional beds on the 9th floor of the Cymbaluk Medical Tower. Without the added patient beds, our hospital would have exceeded capacity many times during peak COVID months. Research, behavioral health and community support services also helped meet increased needs due to the pandemic. We’re grateful for all who helped make these investments possible.

FESTIVAL OF DREAMS

A Dream Come True:

$1.2M for Autism Center Expansion

ust as holiday decorations began coming down in the Providence Pavilion for Women & Children, construction crews started moving in to expand the Providence Boyden Family Autism Center. It’s a project made possible by community support for Festival of Dreams 2020, which raised a remarkable $1.2 million from our generous community.

“In a year marked by so many challenges, we are incredibly grateful for our generous community and everyone who stepped up to support Festival of Dreams,” said Lori Kloes, former Chief Philanthropy Officer of Providence General Foundation. The expansion project—which will allow the Center to eventually serve four times as many children and offer nearly ten times the clinical hours it currently can--is funded entirely by Festival of Dreams donors. Because of COVID-19, Providence General Foundation couldn’t host the traditional in-person Festival events, but when told of the growing need for more autism diagnosis, treatment and support services, sponsors and donors answered. Even without an actual event, they helped make dreams come true for children and families impacted by autism. The fundraising effort was led by Festival of Dreams Honorary Chairs Richard and Judy Boyden, who matched every donation, up to $250,000. The Boydens were key supporters of the 2014 opening of the Providence Boyden Family Autism Center and continue to invest in the Center today. Presenting Sponsor K & H Integrated Print Solutions along with so many other generous sponsors and donors, made sure our community’s children were fully supported.

Festival of Dreams Honorary Chairs Richard and Judy Boyden

While construction crews build out the new space, Clinical Manager Dr. Jill McDaniel was busy getting the people in place to offer more services to children and families starting this spring. “This is really exciting for us internally as a team, but the real reward for us comes in knowing the impact this will have in our community for children with autism and their families,” said Jill. The bulk of the construction is expected to be complete and in use by early May. When everything is finished, it will mean shorter wait times for diagnosis and therapy, better access to intensive programs, a new follow-up therapy program and critical training, education and support resources for families. “Knowing that we can provide children and families with longer term support and care—that we can now say “yes” where we used to say “no”—it’s truly priceless,” said Jill.

YOU FUNDED IT

Tablets for New Moms

They say babies don’t come with an owner’s manual, but at Providence’s Family Maternity Center in Everett, new moms have access to something close: a computer tablet, filled with educational videos about caring for themselves and their new baby. Donations to the Providence General Foundation helped purchase the tablets so moms have an easy way to get important, consistent information while they recover and get to know their baby.

“Nursing staff love that the tablets allow patients to learn on their own time, at their own pace, and help them figure out where their gaps in knowledge are,” says Assistant Nurse Manager Mandy Derezes.

ED Clothes Closet

Thanks to Providence General Foundation donors, Emergency Department patients who’ve had their clothes damaged by injury or illness leave with clean, warm clothing instead of going home in a hospital gown.

“It helps them get through some of the toughest times they’ve had to endure,” says Wendy Turner, Manager of Volunteer Services. Volunteer Services oversees the closet, keeping it well stocked with all sizes of sweats, shirts, undergarments and socks. What began as just a few items collected by the ED staff has grown to an organized program, funded by donations, that gives out 150 to 200 articles of clothing each month to patients being discharged from the ED. It’s a tangible way caregivers and donors are easing the way of patients, so they experience compassion, comfort and dignity as they leave our hospital.

COVID-19 Testing During a Critical Time

Drive-through COVID-19 testing at Providence Medical Group Clinics in Monroe and Mill Creek quickly and conveniently tested thousands of patients this past fall and winter, when COVID cases were high.

Tulalip Tribes and PSE provided grants to lead this effort that helped slow the spread by identifying those who are contagious so they could stay away from others. The increased access to testing also allowed those who tested positive to get timely medical attention. It was cause for celebration when both sites closed down due to low volumes. It marked a milestone in our community’s recovery from the pandemic.

Breast Health Exams

Because of donors, Providence is able to provide breast health exams for women in our community who can’t otherwise afford them.

Screening mammograms often find breast changes that could be cancer years before symptoms develop and can detect breast cancer at an early stage, when treatment is most successful.

Reach Out and Read

Providence Medical Group in Monroe gives every patient from six months to five years of age a new book to take home from their well-child checkup.

The Reach Out and Read program provides the structure for integrating reading into pediatric care, and donations to Providence General Foundation pay for the books. Reading aloud to a child helps with bonding and brain development. “Several parents have commented that they appreciate the new books at well visits because they don’t have the resources to buy new books for their kids very often,” says Aubree Wood, Pediatric Medical Assistant. “The kids are excited to see what book they will get.”

IN MEMORIAM

Idamae Schack

Idamae Schack, long-time Providence General Foundation supporter, passed away in January of 2021 at age 102.

She and her late husband, John, were known for their quiet and consistent philanthropic support throughout the Everett community. They contributed to the construction of the Pavilion for Women and Children, a new critical care unit, Providence Regional Cancer Partnership, Festival of Trees and more. Idamae once said “What we can do, we should do.” Providence General Foundation is grateful for the extraordinary impact Idamae and John had on Providence and our community. 25

Welcome New Foundation Board Members

Todd Karr

Paul Pitre, PhD

Shannon O’Kelley

Todd is currently the Director for the Healthcare Market at Lease Crutcher Lewis.

Paul is Chancellor for Washington State University’s Everett campus. He became Chancellor in September 2016, after serving as Academic Dean of the campus. In 2018, Governor Jay Inslee appointed Paul to the Washington State Board of Education. He earned his Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Maryland.

Shannon is the President and CEO of IRG Physical & Hand Therapy Services as well as the owner of Innovative Mill Work Solutions and Rehab Strategies Northwest. Shannon graduated with his Bachelor of Science degree from Washington State University and his Master of Physical Therapy from Chapman College.

Paul says his grandfather was a physician and a member of the National Medical Association Board. He hopes to help keep his legacy alive.

Shannon serves on boards for Mill Creek Rotary, Archbishop Murphy High School, Snohomish County Sports Commission and Imagine Children’s Museum. He says he wants to serve on the Foundation board to help support access to quality healthcare for all.

Todd’s connection with Providence Everett goes way back. He was born at General Hospital, raised in Everett and currently lives with his wife and two teenagers in the Mill Creek area. He studied Construction Management at the University of Washington and his career has focused on healthcare construction. Todd says he joined the Foundation board because he wants to contribute to the future of Providence Everett and influence the different ways it can impact the community. Todd has been involved with Young Life, loves Husky games and says he’s a “not-there-yet” aspiring golfer.

Paul is married and has a daughter. His personal interests include reading, writing, photography, travel and numismatics. If you aren’t sure what that last one is, ask Paul about it!

Shannon enjoys wood working, outdoor activities, and spending time with family.
