Since moving to Wenatchee about 4 years ago, I volunteer at many organizations but the majority of my volunteer hours are at the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society. My love and passion is working with dogs, specifically dogs with behavioral issues. Something about seeing their progress is so rewarding. The shelter can be so difficult and stressful for these animals so I also volunteer by fostering dogs. My focus and goal is to give them the best quality of life while they await their forever homes. When they do find their homes, it’s always bittersweet but then I know I’ve done my job.

Stage Kids

Mariann Boyce

Stage Kids is the only yearround youth theater organization in our region offering classes, camps, shows, and more for youth ages 4-18. But what makes Stage Kids truly unique is our purpose - to equip kids with the life skills, character, and relationships for a bright future on AND off the stage. The other thing that sets Stage Kids apart is the incredibly talented and committed Stage Kids Family - the staff, kids, parents, businesses, and community members who make our programs possible! Years in Business: 8 Years

I’m an ‘outside of the box’ type teacher. I don’t like to do things the way I was taught necessarily or the way other music teachers like to teach. One of my students said this of me: “You’re the best ‘off-topic’ teacher I’ve ever had!”. I asked what she meant by that. She stated that, “You teach life skills using music which means you don’t just teach us the notes - you teach us why things like music matter.” She is right. My philosophy of teaching is that I want to use music as a way to teach courage, perseverance, kindness, creativity, awareness etc..... To let them see their potential to do things they never thought possible. Maybe it starts with music but maybe music is just a tool they used to become more brave and to try new things. To stick with something until you get it - even when you don’t like it. Years Teaching: 10 Years

We take pride in offering up some of the best Asian food in Wenatchee. The dining environment is relaxed, yet modern; classy, yet still family-friendly. Rather than traveling to Seattle, we wanted to bring the experience here to the greater valley of Wenatchee. The difference with Spring Lotus amidst a sea of Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese food restaurants in the area is the QUALITY of our product and our genuine passion for fresh ingredients in all the menu items.
