Elsewhere in this site you can see: Agency Application Forms: Click the link to go directly to a page where the forms can be downloaded in PDF format. This is for agencies wishing to obtain volunteer help from the Bluebills in the Puget Sound area (Heritage Chapter). Your Central Leadership Council is shown under the Chapters/Central Leadership Council. Contact your Chapter for information on Volunteer Opportunities, Programs, Meetings, etc. We are always ready to publicize Bluebills. Please, if you come away from a volunteer assignment that leaves you with an unusually warm fuzzy feeling, think about sharing that experience with all of us. It's worth its weight in gold, recruitment-wise. It will also help us get recognition from Boeing executive offices. Alert your chapter chair, or Heinz Gehlhaar (soarboy@comcast.net) and don't forget good pictures. And finally, let me ask you to critique our efforts. Tell us what you want, what interests you and how you use the information we provide or could provide. The unique age of electronic communication offers us the ability to make rapid updates and changes

		2019 was the Bluebills 25th Year of Service 2014 was our 20th Anniversary. For a look back at how we started and how far we've come, click here. ******************************************* 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. The volunteer work that we did in 2014 again was significant. We counted 66,109 hours of volunteer work, valued at $1.8 million (using the Washington state value for volunteer hours of $27.54). For more information see links to Bluebill Volunteer Statistics below. **************** Use the links at the left** to find out more about us and what we're doing for our communities.

		*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 show the good that is done for your communities, neighbors and friends. They can only give a hint about the potential we have, as a group. Only you know how much more we could be doing. And please remember to report your volunteer hours to the Bluebills office so that your efforts can be counted and reported. Click on the graphs at the left to see the numbers for 2001 through 2012.

		Our e-mail, for more information, or to tell us about Bluebill news, travels, or accomplishments you think we should cover, is bluebills@boeing.com
Our organization provides an unbeatable combination of personal satisfaction and social interaction as we continue to savor the companionship we previously enjoyed within the Boeing family. We invite you to learn more about us and to join us. Membership is free. ________________________________________________________________________
