1. VOL 2 - 2014 SPRING NEWSLETTER

2. The Wine Auction Committee has been spending hours
organizing, preparing and fundraising for the 11th Annual
Goodtimes Wine Auction. As the date approaches, the
committee would like to recognize the phenomenal contri-
butions made by Carol, Scott and Richard Bradley this
year.
"Team Bradley” has secured over $9,000 in donations for
the Goodtimes Wine Auction. Their donations comprise
almost one quarter of the total donations to date, includ-
ing restaurant gift certificates and vacation packages to
Whistler, BC and Mazatlan, Mexico. One donation secured
by Scott that we are especially excited about is the five
rides in a Porsche hosted by Ridge Motosports Park.
In addition to fundraising, Carol and Scott attend every
meeting, driving all the
way to Seattle from Taco-
ma. According to Astrid
Uka, 2014 Wine Auction
Event Chair, “Carol and
Scott are a true driving
force. We are very hon-
ored that they are part of
this and are such great
contributors and motiva-
tors for us.”
How do they find the time and energy to volunteer? Ac-
cording to Carol, “When you have found something that
truly gives you purpose in life, something you feel has giv-
en you and your family so much you just find the time to
give.”
The Bradley Family has been an essential part of Camp
Goodtimes since 2001. Kathryn “Panda” Bradley was diag-
nosed with medulloblastoma brain cancer at the age of
eight years old. For more than a year, their lives were dic-
tated by the exhausting treatments of surgery, radiation
and chemotherapy.
Kathryn and her older brother, Richard, became campers
at Camp Goodtimes a year after Kathryn finished treat-
ment. Carol describes camp as “a place where kids with
cancer can go and feel normal for a week.” Kathryn would
describe it as “The Happiest Place on Earth.” Kathryn and
Richard later donned their camp counselor names,
“Panda” and “Loop”. Together, they would volunteer as
staff every summer. Kathryn was diagnosed after 11 can-
cer-free years with Glioblastoma Multiformie. She passed
away in 2012. The Bradleys have continued to go “above
and beyond” for Camp Goodtimes in the last year.
While Carol and Scott went into camp fundraising over-
drive, Richard is currently developing a special camp sib-
lings program. Carol says, “It's a family thing for us. Of
course it was Loop's and Panda's deal to begin with but
now it is different with the passing of Panda. We feel camp
gave Loop and Panda so much in terms of love and sup-
port and we need to help it continue. It is also our way of
honoring dear sweet Panda. So I guess you can say we find
time in our hearts and it truly makes us feel
good to give.”
We asked Carol which, out of all the accom-
plishments of Team Bradley this year, she is
most proud of. Carol says, “I think I am
most proud of the Drive-A-Thon. Scott did a
fabulous job getting this going and is still
working on it to keep it an annual
event.” The Turn2 Drive-A-Thon and auc-
tion held last October raised nearly $40,000
for Camp Goodtimes. Carol would personal-
ly like to thank Tom and Santo for being the
“driving force” behind this event.
Camp Goodtimes and the Wine Auction Committee cannot
thank the Bradleys enough for their contributions. It is an
honor to work beside their kindness, generosity and pas-
sion.

3. Faces in the Camp Goodtimes Crowd
Robby is definitely a fighter! He not only
enjoyed taking aim at me last summer on
carnival day but, did something pretty
spectacular after camp. He shot down can-
cer! Over this past New Year’s he celebrat-
ed being cancer free with a huge party for
his family and friends down in Tacoma. I’ll
look forward to seeing him again at camp
this summer (and my squirt guns will be
loaded and ready!).
I first met Sophia last spring at a
“Crush Kids Cancer” fundraiser for
Seattle Children’s Hospital and was so
excited to see her at camp. This
young leukemia patient is a dynamo
who dreams of being a meteorologist.
Through the Make-A-Wish Founda-
tion and the kind folks at the Weather
Channel, Sophia was given the chance
to help with an actual weather forecast on TV last year! And
what is Sophia’s extended forecast for camp this summer? A
100% chance of Fun!
Kaelen “Poseidan” Nelson and Alyssa “Tooty Tah” Strauss have
been great friends ever since they met at Camp Goodtimes
when they were both campers. As soon as they were eligible to
become staff members they jumped at
the chance to give back. They bring a very
special empathy and compassion to camp
with them. Kaelen attended camp when
he was fighting leukemia and Alyssa
attended because her little sister Gloria
was battling neuroblastoma. Sadly, Gloria
passed away in 2007 but she is celebrat-
ed at camp to this day. In Gloria’s last
year at camp she made famous the
“Tooty Tah” dance, later inspiring Alyssa to take that as her
camp name. Kaelen was a dear friend to Gloria. She was four
years his junior and had a mad crush
on him that everyone at camp loved
joking about, especially Gloria!
Daphne makes the trek all the way
from Fairbanks, Alaska, to attend
Camp Goodtimes. Her grin is perma-
nent, her giggle is infectious and she
rocks the carnival hair styles like few
others. As a cancer survivor herself
she now directs her energy outward to help others. She is al-
ways lending a hand to those kids who need it. A dear friend
and fellow camper from Alaska, Julia, blinded by cancer when
she was little, often attends camp at the same time as Daphne
and they are always arm in arm. Daphne’s smile lights up camp
and I know she will come back one day as staff.
Not even a brain tumor will stop Torin from making the most of
each day at camp. He rarely sits down and whether it’s shooting
nerf guns, throwing whipped cream pies on carnival day, or see-
ing how much popcorn he can fit in his mouth during the cruise,
Torin is in perpetual motion. Outside of camp Torin and his fami-
ly are very active in the fight against pedi-
atric cancer. Every year at the Run of
Hope Seattle, Team Torin is out in force
to raise money to support the Pediatric
Brain Tumor Research Guild. Torin is win-
ning his battle and he is determined to
help others win theirs too!
Lauren travels the farthest to come to
camp, all the way from the Big Island in
Hawaii. She attended camp last summer with her younger broth-
er, Theo. Lauren is an osteosarcoma warrior and thankfully was
given a clean bill of health after recent scans at Seattle Children’s
Hospital. Last summer was her first year
at camp and I thought she might be a
little shy. Boy was I wrong! Much to my
surprise, on skit night she got up in front
of the entire camp and taught a hula
dance and chant that she brought with
her from Hawaii. The ceremonial perfor-
mance was about healing and Hope and
was a true gift from the heart. Mahalo
Lauren and much Aloha to you and all
the other kids at Camp Goodtimes.
Nicole didn’t have a single hair on her head when I was intro-
duced to her a year and a half ago at the Ronald McDonald
House in Seattle. The chemo did its job, ridding her body of oste-
osarcoma and she was well enough to attend camp last summer.
She was doing great until it was discov-
ered that, even though she was cancer
free, she would need surgery to cor-
rect a severe bow that had developed
in her troublesome right leg. She en-
dured major surgery and had a painful
week getting comfortable enough to
get out of the hospital. She’s working
hard now on recovering. She wants to
get out of her wheelchair and ride her
brand new bike, which has been sitting unused for three
months. Knowing how strong Nicole is, I fully expect to see her
riding her bike with a vengeance along the beautiful trails of
Camp Goodtimes this summer.

4. Our Current Pouring Wineries for the Annual Goodtimes Wine Auction
We are excited to feature several boutique Washing-
ton wineries at the 11th Annual Goodtimes Wine Auc-
tion. During the silent auction, we will feature Finn
Hill Winery from Woodinville, Prosser-based Mercer
Estates and Patit Creek Cellars out of Walla Walla. The
dinner wines are provided by JM Cellars from Wood-
inville.
Rob Entrekin is
the mastermind
behind Finn Hill
winery. He has
created a
"garagiste" mi-
cro-winery, ded-
icated to the limited production of small lots of ultra-
premium wines from designated vineyards and appel-
lations in Washington. Finn Hill limits production to
less than 1,000 cases annually. The current focus is on
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Reisling and Sauvi-
gnon Blanc from some of Washington’s finest vine-
yards. Rob is pleased to feature his wines at the
Goodtimes Wine Auction for the third year in a row.
To quote Ed Dudley, owner of Patit Creek Cellars, “The
experience
of wine is
to
be shared
with great
family and friends, it is to be enjoyed with great food,
and it is to be shared with great conversations.” We
could not agree more. According to head Winemaker
Joe Forrest, “my job to create a product that is con-
sistent, while paying respect to the vintage, grape and
vineyard.” And we are happy to welcome back the
outstanding wines of Patit Creek Cellars, which was
the Presenting Winery at the 2012 Goodtimes Wine
Auction. Oh, and next time you are in Woodinville,
stop by the Patit Creek Cellars wine tasting room and
say hi to Brooke. Her support for the Goodtimes Wine
Auction has been consistently generous and we can-
not thank her enough!
The Mercer family is into their fourth generation of
farming in Washington State's
Horse Heaven Hills. And they
know what they are do-
ing. Mercer Estates has been
collecting numerous awards
and accolades for their premi-
um wines including 90 points
in Wine Spectator for their
2010 Reserve Cavalie red blend and #1 on the Great
Northwest Wine’s Top 100 list for their 2010 Spice
Cabinet Vineyard Malbec. Congrats to head Winemak-
er David Forsyth! Mercer Estates was the Presenting
Winery at the 2011 Goodtimes Wine Auction and they
have continued to support us ever since.
2014 marks the third year that JM Cellars wines will be
featured. John and
Peggy Bigelow first got
involved with the
Goodtimes Wine Auc-
tion as the featured
dinner winery in 2006
and their generosity to
our auction has been
legendary. Over the
years, they have hosted a Goodtimes Grapevine recep-
tion, donated many live auction items and even pro-
duced a special bottling of the premier red wine, Tre
Fancuilli—donating $25 per bottle to Camp Good-
times. JM Cellars wines consistently score in the 90s,
including the 2007 Longevity (94 Pts, Wine Spectator),
the 2009 Chardonnay (94 Pts, Wine Enthusiast), the
2011 Syrah (93 Pts, Wine Enthusiast), the 2009 Syrah
(93 Pts, Wine Enthusiast), the 2009 Boushey Vineyard
Syrah (93 Pts, Wine Enthusiast), the 2008 Tre Fanciul-
li (93 Pts, Wine Enthusiast) and the 2008 Chardonnay
(93 Pts, Wine Enthusiast). We are certainly looking for-
ward to dinner this year!

7. The Washington Athletic Club provided the perfect
venue on February 5, 2014, when we kicked off our
first Goodtimes Grapevine event for 2014. We were
happy to see many returning faces from our Good-
times Wine Auction family.
Longtime supporters Debbie and Keith Brownfield, Sue
Pippy & Larry Krohn , Ted and Louise Tochterman,
Katya and David Allen, Norm and Kathi Strickland,
Astrid Uka and Randy Dahl were all in attend-
ance. Kevin and Cary Clark from Argosy joined us as
well to learn more about The Goodtimes Project. Ar-
gosy Cruises has hosted thousands of campers on
summer and winter cruises for 25 years.
On March 5, we held another great Grapevine event
with an emphasis on inviting future supporters eager
to learn about the new organization. Camp Mom Alicia
Dunham shared with us the story of her son Connor
and the impact Camp Goodtimes has made in his
life. After hearing her story we were all that much
more motivated to make this year’s Wine Auction a
huge success.
Thanks to all of you who attended. It was great to
make new friends to raise a glass with!
