RTS Energizer: Jennifer Stonestreet (CoHo Team of Windermere & Copiers NW)

The CoHo Team of Windermere and Copiers Northwest sponsored the Ryther Child Center for Spring Rebuilding Day 2010. Despite having several worthy individuals who worked tirelessly throughout the day, project leaders, Tonya, Doug , and Peter, chose Jennifer Stonestreet with Copiers Northwest as their RTS Energizer. Jennifer had brought several plants at her own expense and labor to help spruce up the cottages. Jennifer and her husband were also the very first to arrive on Saturday and were assigned to one of the more difficutl and time-consuming projects: to build a 50' fence with a gate, and then stain it. Although there were other individuals that shared similar work ethic and spirit, Jennifer went above and beyond:

"In the weeks preceding the Saturday event, Jennifer was always asking about what else we could be doing for Ryther and the residents beyond the Saturday projects," Doug told RTS. "Based upon her willingness to do more, Copiers Northwest owners and employees gave her $150.00 to assemble 50 goodie bags; one for each resident. Each goodie bag would be filled with food treats such as candy bars, Pringles, granola bars etc… Those goodie bags were delivered Saturday morning upon her arrival. Jennifer collected the monies, bought the food, and assembled all 50 of the goodie bags."

Beyond the goodie bags, Jennifer, along with a colleague, Julie, took it upon themselves to organize a Toy Drive to fill the new "toy lockers" that Copiers Northwest were planning on constructing on April 24th.

"Jennifer and Julie collected basketballs, soccer balls, tennis rackets and roller blades for the residents at Ryther. Jennifer also collected two youth bicycles for Ryther," Doug emphasized.

"Thanks Rebuilding Together Seattle for all you do for the community and for allowing the team from Copiers Northwest and Windermere COHO to be included in your efforts!"
