August begins with a bang
Summer has officially arrived in Spokane. With the warmer weather comes a busy schedule. My month started with a wonderful shopping excursion for Big Brothers & Big Sisters at the 2011 Back to School Blitz. I was blessed to be partnered with a little sister who demonstrated all the attributes of a future strategic leader making our shopping trip fun and productive. With the one hour time limit planning was everything. Bethany had already done some detailed reconnaissance work the day before so we hit the ground running. As the shopping began my job was to grab the cart as she made a bee line to her secret stash of clothes. At the end of the event we were able to ensure she was ready to roll for the first day of school complete with clothes, school supplies, and a backpack. The day was full of laughter and hugs across the board. Thank you Fred Meyer, Big Brothers & Big Sisters, and especially Bethany for making my Saturday morning so incredibly special.

About Me
- Judi Baggarley
- Spokane, Washington, United States
- Growing up in a small rural community in Eastern Washington allowed me to discover and grow into the woman you see now. I was born on March 4, 1965 in the Othello hospital and 18 years later graduated from Othello High School ~ go Huskies! I am now a wife, mother, and grandmother. I am deeply committed to emotional and physical health and work diligently to strengthen both my mind and body through exercise. I am a graduate of Whitworth University ~ go Pirates, and Gonzaga University ~ go Zags! My passion is focused on mentoring the youth in our communities by showing them the power of critical thinking and authentic leadership. By applying the principles of emotional intelligence we can successfully arm our youth with the tools to move our global community to the next level. I am currently involved with Big Brothers & Big Sisters as well as HOBY. Both of these organizations share my passion for youth leadership in the community. In addition to youth leadership I am involved with Vanessa Behan's Crisis Nursery. I urge you to view the links I have provided so that you may learn more about these special organizations.
