BOEING RETIREE VOLUNTEERS

Heritage Chapter

The first chapter of Bluebills, organized in 1995, is called the Heritage Chapter.  We offer volunteer and social opportunities to retirees throughout Seattle, South King County, East King County and Pierce County.

As the largest chapter, we have a wide range of activities going on all the time.   In 2011, our members contributed more than 61,000 hours to community causes.  To find out what's going on, we invite you to read our newsletter. 

Monthly Meetings

We have informative meetings where we hear speakers who entertain and inform, keeping us up to date on issues that matter to us.

Special Events

One of the events we enjoyed last year year was a visit by Boeing retirees from St. Louis and Mesa.  We held several events designed to make their visit to us memorable.  In the past several years we have visited retiree groups in both cities, made new friends and learned how other Boeing retirees are enjoying life.

One of the ongoing Heritage Chapter activities is a hardworking group called the Busy B's, shown at the left working on one of many quilts they will produce for distribution to needy families.

The Busy B's provide afghans and lap robes to nursing home residents, refurbished gently-used stuffed toys and dolls (with clothing) to be given away at Christmas, plus they make hand-sewn pillows and hand-knitted infant and children's caps. This is in addition to the numerous quilts they give to Habitat for Humanity and other worthy causes.

Come Join Us!

We invite Boeing retirees and their spouses to pay us a visit and find out for themselves how personally rich and satisfying retirement can be.

Chapter meetings are normally held on the fourth Friday of each month located at:
Downtown Harley-Davidson, 3715 E Valley Rd, Renton, WA
