Got Lunch?
There’s still time to reserve a seat at the table for the Foundation’s 14th Annual Nourish Every Mind Luncheon, Thursday May 10 from 11 am – 1 pm at the Issaquah Community Center. Golden Apple sponsors Microsoft and Swedish have helped underwrite production costs so all guest donations are directed to student centered investments. Nourish Every Mind is THE place to be to learn what the Foundation does, how their investments benefit your child and why your help is needed. Contact Table Captain Co-Chairs Cathia Geller (Cathia@cathiageller.com) or Laura Fortner (Laurafortner@gmail.com) to reserve your seat.

Donor Dollars at Work
- The Foundation’s grant for iPads for special needs students is getting rave reviews. The iPads have numerous applications and in one case, even vocalizes for a student. You can see a video about the iPad program at the Nourish Every Mind Luncheon on May 10.
- Recently students at Liberty High School enjoyed a presentation by Facebook employees. Turns out, one of the employees was an ISD graduate who participated in Robotics at Issaquah High—a program funded in part for years by ISF donors.
