Kemper Freeman, Jr.
Kemper Freeman, Jr., is the third generation involved in the ownership and development of Bellevue Square, a super regional shopping center located in Bellevue, Washington. Mr. Freeman's development company, Kemper Development Company, has also developed a mixed-use project called Bellevue Place, comprised of two office buildings which include retail space and a Hyatt Regency Hotel, totaling 1 million square feet. In late 2005, KDC completed and opened Lincoln Square, a mixed-use project, located across the street from Bellevue Square. Lincoln Square is comprised of 310,000 square feet of retail, a 42 story tower featuring The Westin Bellevue with 337 luxury rooms and meeting space, 148 luxury condominiums on the upper 22 stories, and a 27 story class “A” office building.
Kemper Freeman is a past Chairman of the International Council of Shopping Centers. Founded in 1957, the International Council of Shopping Centers is the global trade association of the shopping center industry with over 40,000 members in the U. S., Canada and more than 77 countries around the world. Mr. Freeman is the current chairman of the association’s Government Relations Committee and has served as a Trustee since 1987. He serves as Chairman of the Board of First Mutual Bank and is a Board Member for Overlake Hospital and PACE – Performing Arts Center Eastside. Mr. Freeman has a long history of involvement in political and civic activities. He is a former Washington State Legislator, and has served on the boards of numerous business and civic organizations.
There will be a Conference Reception for BRC members and guests only, Saturday night, from 5:00-6:00 pm in DG Sally Gray’s suite at The Chateau Whistler (immediately preceding the President’s Reception hosted by Bellevue Rotary Club).
Planting Day At Lewis Creek Park
Environmental Committee Chair John Matheson, has arranged a hands-on, outdoor service project for Saturday, April 22, from 9:00-12:00 noon. Our Club has been invited to participate in planting native plants above the wetland at Lewis Creek Park, in the Lakemont neighborhood. The invitation comes directly from Laurie Devereaux, the Bellevue Stream Team Manager who spoke to our Club.
For those of you who are not going to the District Conference, this is a great hands-on participatory opportunity. Bring spouses and kids as well.
Spring golf Outing, Trilogy
Brad Hunt
This year's Spring Golf Outing is scheduled for June 5 at Trilogy Golf Club in Redmond. Tee times have been reserved for 32, starting time at 1:30 pm. Format will be a "Shamble," and there will also be an individual long drive and KP prizes. The cost is $95.00 per player and will be billed to your Rotary account. The fee includes green fees, carts, range balls and food. There will be a no host bar available.
The first 32 players to commit will be in. Please email Brad Hunt if you wish to play, and send along your handicap index and/or your approximate score for 18 holes. Any questions, please call Brad at 425-462-7400.
Bellevue Rotary will again bring the best day of the whole summer to Camp Goodtimes on Vashon Island. Save Thursday, June 29th, for this fun event. We are expecting 140 kids with cancer, on or off treatment, and have arranged to rent carnival games for this day.
At least 40 Rotarians are needed to be at camp as carnie workers. Look for sign-up sheets in May or early June. Contact Charlotte Ellis if you have questions.
