As a 4-H member from 1961-69, Charlotte Phillips trained and groomed both dogs and horses through her local Snohomish County 4-H clubs. In 1965-66 she raised her first guide dog puppy, Peg.
From 1977-80 Charlotte was the 4-H Horse Leader for the Ropes & Reins Club on Lopez Island. She taught and mentored more than 100 youth in horsemanship, record books, public speaking, community service, and leadership. In 1978 she was the San Juan County Horse Superintendent.
With her move to Vashon Island in 1981, Charlotte was very instrumental in the successful negotiations of a 99-year lease with the federal government and subsequent development of a 43-acre community park – Paradise Ridge. This park now includes three equestrian riding arenas, 34 outdoor stalls, a 1.5 mile cross country course, more than two miles of walking trails, a community picnic shelter, and a multipurpose assembly building.
From 1982-99 Charlotte was Horse Leader for the Vashon Rock Riders. Also during part of this time, she served as King County Horse Judging Coordinator, Horse Bowl Coordinator and 4-H Dog Leader for Vashon Rock Hounds. In 1992 she and ten youth started a 4-H Natural Science/Arts & Crafts/Woodworking/ Photography club that is still going. Also in 1992, she was selected as a Washington State 4-H Leader of the Year.
In 1999 Charlotte started Vashon Island’s first Guide Dogs for the Blind 4-H club, Eyes of the Future.
