A Message from Kara
The message this week comes from Katie Durham your outgoing VP of Community Outreach and your current EVP of Operations:
 
Thank you to everyone who donated their time and their money to Foster C4C this year. This year the Foster community raised more money and volunteered more hours than ever before!
We raised a total of $156,000 for Special Olympics of Washington and the Boys & Girls Club. Over $60,000 of that came from Evening student donations and the events we put on as a program, amazing work everyone! Our full-time colleagues volunteered 4,050 hours for Special Olympics of Washington, the Boys & Girls Club, and other local charities - over 400 more hours than last year!
This year we are dedicating this donation to Kathy DeWenter who helped bring C4C to Foster and continued to support C4C for almost 30 years.
We finished third place in Sports, higher than we have ever placed at C4C! Special thanks to all of our team captains that stepped up to make this happen. Great job and thank you to all of our athletes! Special recognition to the following teams:
Gold Medals:
Wen Lee and Sisi Zhou – Doubles Table Tennis
Kelsey Mitchell and Taylor Nordby – Bocce Ball
Silver Medals:
Women’s Volleyball
Co-ed Softball
Co-ed Football
Ultimate Frisbee
Men’s Basketball
Wen Lee – Singles Table Tennis
Ankit Agarwal – Singles Table Tennis
Jessica Raasch – Spelling Bee
Nick Oliver and Travis Boyd – 5K
We are so proud of all the hard work and generosity resulting from our community's C4C efforts. This could not have been done without your time, donations, and dedication to making our community awesome. THANK YOU!
A special thank you also to the Evening C4C Board for all their dedication and hard work:
Emily Garrett, Stephanie Graves, Emily Engel, Joe Nekrasz, Lindsay O'Connell, Katie Durham, as well as our full-time colleagues on the C4C Board.
We hope everyone is looking forward to Sports Weekend 2019 as much as we are! I am pleased to leave the Evening C4C board in the very capable hands of Stephanie Graves, Emily Engel and Jackson Taylor. I know that you will continue to build the Foster spirit and represent C4C well!
Best,
Katie

Get your dancing shoes on!

There will be many different types of food, drink, inflatable entertainment and everyone's favorite: the photo booth. Please sign up to volunteer for a shift!
Attire: The theme of the TG is "International". Which means that students and guests should wear something reflective of where they are from or even simply a place they visited that deeply impacted them.

Mid-term Surveys
Please take the time to fill out the mid-term surveys which are due at noon on Sunday 4/29. This feedback will be collected, summarized, and shared with the professor. This process is conducted several weeks into each quarter, so that your core professors can take your feedback into consideration as they teach you through the last half of the quarter.
Please remember that your feedback is most effective when it is prescriptive and constructive. As a final note, feedback is confidential and your identity is not associated with your response.
