Celebrating Junior League of Seattle Volunteer Award to Patty Barrier

Previous Dorothy Stimson Bullitt Award winners with current honoree, Patty Barrier

This coming week will be a big celebration at MOHAI for the Junior League of Seattle.  It is the May Celebration when the current JLS President passes the gavel to the new President.  It seems like only yesterday, but was really in 1991 when I accepted that same gavel from my predecessor.


Another big focus of the celebration is the Dorothy Stimson Bullitt Community Service Award, for a lifetime of volunteer achievement which this year will be awarded to my dear friend, Patty Barrier.  

The Junior League of Seattle created the Dorothy Stimson Bullitt Community Service Award in 1989 to recognize outstanding achievement in the area of community service. Dorothy Stimson Bullitt was a charter member of the Junior League of Seattle, civic leader, women’s advocate and the founder of the King Broadcasting Company.

The Dorothy Stimson Bullitt Community Service Award honors an Active or Sustaining Junior League member who has enriched the lives of her neighbors and community at large through extraordinary volunteer public service. The Junior League of Seattle award is the only award Mrs. Bullitt allowed to carry her name.

Last week, there was a luncheon at the Sunset Club for all the past Dorothy Stimson Bullitt Award winners to celebrate the upcoming announcement of Patty as this year's recipient hosted by last year's DSB award winner, Kathy Randall.

We are all looking forward to this coming week when Patty will receive this very special recognition award.
