Before the tour began, everyone met at the Clubhouse to enjoy appetizers of smoked duck and salmon and the first two flights of the eight Scotch whiskies featured throughout the evening while learning from experts from Definitive Audio and Fusion 9 Design on how to equip a Man Cave.

Adjourn Greg Staley Memorial Innis Arden residents Jim and Sonja Staley lost their son Greg in 2007 due to complications from schizophrenia. The family is donating two inscribed park benches for the clubhouse grounds in their son Greg's memory. Greg spent a lot of time at the clubhouse growing up, especially in the pool and on the pathway, so Jim and Sonja felt the clubhouse would be the best place to honor Greg. The park benches will replicate the benches in front of the If so, please contact the Hospitality Committee so they can deliver a welcome packet.

The benches have been ordered and will be installed at the clubhouse upon their arrival. Here is a biography Jim and Sonja wrote to share with the Innis Arden community: “Greg was our first child. He was born in Davis, California in 1964 and lived with us in Michigan and North Carolina before we moved to the Seattle area in 1971. Greg was a delightful, spirited youth who was interested in many different activities. At the time he attended Shorewood High School, he was on the football, swim and tennis teams. Also he was school photographer for the student paper. Greg played drums in the High School Band and Jazz Band and was a Boy Scout. He loved swimming in the Innis Arden pool and being on the IA swim team. He enjoyed traveling with us to Australia, Hawaii, Tahiti, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, Florida, Canada and the Caribbean. As one of his cousins recently commented, “When Greg came to visit, it was like the circus coming to town!” He completed his first year at Washington State University in Pullman before he became ill with schizophrenia, which made life very difficult for him. He died in 2007. We wish to pay tribute to his short but full life and his love for Innis Arden by providing two commemorative benches along the jogging trail and near the pool and playgrounds that he enjoyed so much. We want to thank all the family and friends who contributed to Greg’s memorial. We also thank the Innis Arden Club and Swimming Club for their support of this endeavor.” --Jim and Sonja Staley and sister Wendy Staley Colbert On behalf of the Innis Arden Board of Directors and shareholders, I would like to thank the Staley family for their generous and thoughtful donation to the clubhouse grounds in memory of Greg. I know the benches will be used and appreciated by the many visitors who spend time at the clubhouse each week. —Kathi Peterson, Grounds Chair 2 (Continued from page 1) hosts whose identities will remain a secret, to Maggie Tabor for smoking good and gamey appetizers, and to Brian Branagan and Kelly Sanders for putting on this event.
