Big Brothers Big Sisters director Gretchen Klein said Olsen witnessed
many good things happening in Ketchikan. Among those many good
things were the new service organizations of Big Brothers Big
Sisters, Ketchikan Youth Court, Boys and Girls Club, and Ketchikan
Youth Initiatives. Klein said scholarships were established,
a larger Yearly Assets Awards was a held, and there was an increase
in collaboration within groups. Olsen was here to see PATCHWorks
become its own entity, and Klein said many successful Health
Fairs have been held. Olsen also witnessed the opening of the
new Ketchikan Regional Youth Facility.
Klein thanked Olsen for "helping
us work on our many different visions." She said, "You
will be missed."
