Sustainer Cocktail Party Recap

The Annual Sustainer Cocktail Party held at the Seattle Yacht Club on June 24, 2025, was a fun-filled evening with members reconnecting over food, drinks, and a beautiful view.  JLS President, Michelle Schoonover, shared how her attendance at her first Sustainer Cocktail Party led her to go back to active status and apply for the President role.  We are so glad she made that commitment.

Incoming Sustainers were introduced (see complete list below), and we were thrilled to present the Sustainer Year Award to Stephanie Howe since she was not able to receive the award at the May Celebration.

Thank you to JoAnne Jones for hosting us at the Seattle Yacht Club. Kelly Souder and Leslie Lawrence were a mighty committee of two and did a superb job with the planning and execution.
