Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce
Microsoftee Scott Oki
to Address Chamber
The Chamber
of Commerce
is honored to
feature former Microsoft executive
Scott Oki as
our keynote
speaker for
the July 15
Membership
Luncheon at
Wing Point.
Oki is the Founder and Chairman of Oki
Developments Inc. and is a professed entrepreneur, venture capitalist, philanthropist, and community activist. His personal
mission statement is “to marry my passion
for things entrepreneurial with things philanthropic in ways that encourage others to
do the same.”
Oki Developments is an investment company with diverse interests in real estate,
golf course development and management,
restaurants, and early to development stage
information technology companies.
He is a former senior vice-president of
sales and marketing for Microsoft, who
conceived and built its international operations from the ground up. Oki also played
a crucial role in Microsoft’s rapid domestic growth during the 1980s. He retired
from Microsoft in 1992.
Oki’s latest passion is education. In his
new book, “Outrageous Learning: An Educational Manifesto,” he’s applying what
he learned in the business world to transforming our nation’s struggling school
system.
The title of his July 15 Chamber presentation is “Outrageous Learning: What is
wrong with our public school system.” He
will take questions and answers and discuss other facets of his business life, such
as golf course development, real estate
and technology.
The July 15 luncheon will be held at 11:30
a.m. at Wing Point. Cost: $15. RSVP:
(206) 842-3700.
Tee it up for Chamber Golf Scramble on August 20
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, now that the summer is in full swing, it’s time to dust off
your clubs and support your local Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber is presenting its 13th Annual Summer Golf Scramble Thursday
August 20 at Wing Point Golf and Country Club on Bainbridge Island. Shotgun start
at 12:30 p.m. Registration begins at 10:30 a.m.
Our Summer Golf Scramble is among the most affordable tournaments in the region.
Per player cost is only $110 – that’s just $440 per foursome! The fee includes cart, green
fees, one qualifying try at the $25,000 putting contest, a chance at a hole-in-one valued
at $20,000 and/or a automobile, two other hole-in-one opportunities (with prizes), cash
payouts for gross and net winners, a box lunch, banquet dinner, raffle prizes, mulligans,
and a fun and exciting Live Auction, with great prizes and other surprises.
Player applications are available at the Chamber of Commerce office - 590 Winslow
Way NE – in this newsletter, or on the Chamber’s web site: www.bainbridgechamber.
com.
As many of you can attest, the Chamber hosts a fun-filled tournament. One of our most
popular Live Auction prizes – thanks to the behind the scenes work of San Carlos Restaurant owner and avid golfer Lee Jorgenson - is a chance to play golf and have dinner
with Mike Gastineau and Dave Grosby of KJR-AM sports radio fame.
Our tournament could not succeed without the generous support of our 2009 Eagle
Level sponsors: American Marine Bank and Puget Sound Energy. AMB has been a
booster of the Chamber’s tournament from the very start, while PSE has kicked in for
the past six years.
We also want to tip our caps to our hole sponsors and our special sponsors – those companies and organizations that provide financial support for events such as the box lunch,
the putting contest, the registration table, our beverage stations, raffle ticket sales, mulligan sales, longest drive, closest to the pin contests and the like.
Our special sponsors so far include: Bainbridge Lending Group, Hill Moving Services, Island LuLu, Kitsap Credit Union, Liberty Bay Auto, and Suquamish Clearwater Casino.
Our hole sponsors to date include: Amercian National Insurance, Carolyn Olberg,
Land Title of Kitsap Co. and Zindell Acupucture.
The Chamber is seeking additional special sponsors and hole sponsors. The Summer
Golf Scramble is another great opportunity to market your business and support the
Chamber’s year-round programs and community outreach efforts. For more information

Media really taking notice of
Bainbridge
Locals might notice a few more tourists trekking to the island
these days. That may be a result of some positive media exposure. Here’s a look at some of that coverage:
■ A crew from CNN spent a few days in mid-June visiting
the island and enjoying attractions such as the Bloedel
Reserve, kayaking with the staff of Back of Beyond and
tripping around to various shops and restaurants. The crew
stayed as guests of the Eagle Harbor Inn.
■ The Bainbridge to Seattle ferry was rated by MSN as the
second most beautiful ferry ride in the US, only behind
the Alaska Marine highway. Check out this page on MSN:
http://guides.travel.msn.com//Guides/MSNTravelSlideShow.aspx?cp-documentid=1059883&imageindex=2
■ Thanks to a brilliant four-color advertising spread in Seattle Metropolitan magazine, Bainbridge Island is wellrepresented in a feature story on Northwest island communities in magazine’s June issue. The double-truck spread
was orchestrated by the Chamber of Commerce and included advertising from 16 island businesses and organizations. Seattle and the rest of the country is beginning to
get the message that Bainbridge is a cool place to visit and
spend some quality time!!!
