Welcome to our web page We are the Bluebills, an army of Boeing Company retirees and their spouses in western Washington. We don't work for paychecks these days, except the kind of payoff that rewards us with a warm glow of satisfaction. We are at work on projects that are making our communities better places to live. In 2008, our "army" devoted over 86,000 hours volunteering to serve those who needed our help.
Use the links at the left to find out more about us and what we're doing for our communities. Information Directory for Boeing Retirees Chairman's Corner As part of our effort to increase communication, we have added a feature called the Chairman's Corner. You'll find regular messages from our Chairman, Merv Shetler, highlighting new Bluebills developments and initiatives, as well as recognizing some of the wonderful efforts of Bluebills members. Merv has added some thoughts about Volunteering on a separate page, for us all to think about -- for ourselves, and when we talk to others about volunteering. |

| Bluebill Volunteer Statistics
Did you ever wonder about how many of you are volunteering and how many projects you are supporting with your time and efforts? We have put together some of our statistics since 2001 to give you an idea about how much we have done. Of course, statistics don't tell the personal stories, or give a sense of the rewards of volunteering, or the good that is done for your communities, neighbors and friends. They also can only give a hint about the potential we have, as a group. Only you know how much more we could be doing. |
