Welcome to the Norwesco Telecom Pioneer Club
Everett, Washington

Amidst change at the Norwesco Pioneer Chapter, I send warm greetings as the new Club President. We have a tall order ahead of this year as we witness even greater needs within our communities. Who would have ever imagined the economic state of affairs that we are facing today. Even during this time of distress, we find hope in the words of our newly elected President who states �Yes we can�. Our Pioneer volunteers truly embody the meaning of this statement. While President Obama calls out for individuals to become a part of his civilian volunteer workforce, I feel that this reinforces what we have put into action in our chapter. I look forward to the many ways we will make an impact this year and I encourage everyone to share their thoughts on how they would like to see us to make a bigger difference.
