Linda Matherne and
Power of the Second Choice
Power of the Second Choice is a movement created to end our silence in the face of suicide through acknowledgement and empowerment.
Linda Matherne, a banker for 17 years, began her career as a teller and worked her way up the corporate ladder to Branch Manager.
In October of 2004 she left banking to begin a new adventure. She is now an outside Sales Manager with Postal Express, the largest locally owned courier service in Washington. This new venture allows her to utilize her excellent sales and customer service skills, and gives her the freedom to speak out about Power of the Second Choice.
Linda founded Power of the Second Choice last fall and is currently sharing with youth and adults the Message of Acknowledgement throughout the State of Washington.
Power of the Second Choice is rapidly becoming a national and global campaign that began right here in Puget Sound.

Camp Goodtimes Carnival, June 29
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.
Take the 10:20AM Fauntleroy/Vashon Ferry. If you can, share rides from the North lot at Lincoln Park at 10:00AM. The carnival is over at 4:30PM. Return at 5:00PM or a little later if you stop for pizza at the Rotary Happy Hour at Rock Island Pizza on Vashon Island.
The theme this year is “Out of this World,” Star Wars/Star Trek. Contact Charlotte Ellis to sign up for a game today, or let us assign you where you are most needed.
