Today is January 21 and I'm not sure about the middle of the country, but this winter has been nothing short of brutal so far for those on the right and left coasts! Here in Seattle, we received back-to-back storms which left 18+ inches on the ground, and while this may not seem like a huge deal , it is for a city that has a total of 24 snowplows and does not believe in the practice of dumping salt on the roads to melt snow. With the exception of I-5, the snow stayed exactly where it fell until it melted- all residential streets included! As such, the city basically shut down for the last couple weeks of December, which, as it turns out, was acrually kind of fun. All in all, it was a good year to get back to basics and appreciate a little downtime, which is otherwise so difficult to come by I hope you all enjoyed the holiday season and I wish you a very happy and healthy new year! And now for tlie news: It was great to receive a first- time submission from James Mattison, who writes, "I am overdue for this! You can put me down for continuing to travel each year to Ghana, in West Africa, visiting the school (Ayi Owen International School) I helped start with fel low Trinity srudents during my junior and senior years. We called our group For One World and raised the initial seed money five dollars at a time, mostly from other srudents on campus. Now, For One World is a non-profit with federal 501 (c) (3) status and looking to expand our efforts focused on basic education for the neediest children. We partner witl1 local leaders to build sustainable solutions. We also have a yearly travel grant that several Trinity students have won to volunteer in special areas of need for the summer. Our motto is empowerment through education. Web site is www.ForOneWorld.org; donations welcome! My 'day job' is an executive at Accenture helping clients with global technology implementations,
