Gift shopping made easy by the "Volunteers" . . . The action club we support at University of Washington Bothell held a silent auction Saturday and raised nearly $3,000 toward the "clean water project" our clubs are sponsoring in Kiminini, Kenya. A few gift items were left from that auction and volunteers member Nora Laughlin plans to be at our meeting Tuesday to entice Rotarians to consider doing some last minute Christmas shopping. All auction items were donated, so all proceeds go toward the Village Volunteers' goal to provide a ceramic pot manufacturing plant in Kiminini where villagers can be trained in the use and distribution of water filtration systems to residents of the surrounding villages.

 

Nominations are in . . . annual election of officers will be conducted at the December 11 meeting. The Nominations Committee has reported the slate of President, Chris Boland; Vice President, John Hughes; Secretary, Julian Denes; Treasurer, Mike Visse; President-elect for 2009-2010, Al Marsh; and, Past President (after considerable discussion), Rick Pisani. Nominations will be accepted from the floor. Paper Ballots. Sorry, no absentee voting provided. The Huskies-free slate of officers will take office in July, 2008.

Has new position . . . Marty Dennis has been named director of the memory-care unit of the Aegis retirement facility in Shoreline (and will be on the email trail again soon).

January 29 is Wine'n Shine kickoff night . . . 2008 Rotary charity-fund raising event chair Eric Greenwood is in the process of lining up team leaders for the October Wine'n Shine event with a "planning kickoff" set for the evening of January 29, 2008 as our 5th Tuesday social. The event will be held at the North Creek Center on the Cascadia Community College-University of Washington Bothell campus. Our kickoff will provide the opportunity for the official start of the "Sports a' Field Campaign", the city's effort to raise some $800,000 in private contributions to complete the multi-sport, lighted turf fields project called Woodinville Fields located across the street from Wilmot Gateway Park and next to City Hall and the Edwards Community Center complex.
We will be inviting members of the community to join us that night to learn about the project, the funding needs and the extent of the club's financial commitment to the project.

Cheers for Laura Wednesday at WHS . . . our night to shine for Laura Topin and the Lady Falcons. Tip-off is 5:45 p.m. vs. Juanita. 

 

SAS singers invited to welcome Santa . . . see Operation Warm highlights. Now if only Roger would bring his sax, too, what a lively morning that would be! Famed singer Bernadette Bascom, reindeer, elves, carolers from the blues class at Secondary Academy for Success.
