Siri and I are so excited to start our marriage with an adventure through Japan, the Philippines, and Thailand! We hope to climb Mount Fuji, visit the snow monkeys at Jigokudani Monkey Park, island hop in Palawan, and explore vibrant cities and beaches across Thailand. We can't wait to experience new cultures, incredible food, and unforgettable memories together.

World Relief is a global organization focused on community resilience, humanitarian & disaster response, as well as immigration & refugee assistance. In the Seattle area, they focus a lot on refugee resettlement and related programs to help our immigrant neighbors thrive in their new community. We contribute on a regular basis, but would love to bless them with an additional gift! https://worldrelief.org/western-wa/

Sea Scouting, the maritime leadership program of Scouting America, has been an important part of Marc's life since 2009. Marc served as both a youth and adult leader, mentoring younger scouts ages 13-20 along the way. The program builds leadership, teamwork, and confidence through hands-on sailing and outdoor experiences that shaped who Marc is today. Gifts to this fund will directly support future Sea Scouts by expanding access to sailing, training, and adventure opportunities.

We love visiting McMenamins - a family run business based out of Oregon that turns old buildings (schools, theaters, Elks lodges, other community centers) into new fun restaurants, pools, theaters, concert venus, and hotels. It's a fun and quirky business. We are hoping to add stamps to our McMenamins "passport" by exploring all their locations!

We are working on saving up to eventually buy a house in Seattle one day. Contribute towards our down payment!

Siri and I love to West Coast Swing! Contributing would help improve our techniques for future social dances.
