21
Acres breaks ground: Check
out this special page detailing the exciting news that the
first construction phase of a major facility is under
construction at 21 Acres on the Woodinville south ring road.
We've reprinted the press release announcing the initial
plans and provided an artist's rendering of the unique
energy saving and conservation measures planned in the new
structure. Executive Director Gretchen Garth and education
director Dave Meuhlheisen will be at our June 9 meeting to
provide a personal update. On the Saturday prior, the
official ground breaking ceremonies will be held there at
10:30 a.m. Our club has established an endowment in the
Northshore Scholarship Foundation which will fund
scholarships for those taking advantage of educational
projects at 21 Acres. A series of weeklong camp for kids
will get under way in June. 
Our
Fun and Frolic Committee is at work planning a Rotary family
picnic on a Saturday in August at 21 Acres when Rotarians,
family members and friends will have a chance to tour the
site, including the 18 acres presently under crop
production. A total of 20 individuals have just started a
course in urban farming at the facility.
Help
beat the drum for procurement : Bring
an item Tuesday for the October Wine'n Shine auction and
you'll get to beat the big bass drum for Rotary! Chief
Dennis Johnson has a terrific World War II minesweeper model
made by an 83-year old Woodinvilleite . . . Chief Don Fitz
will sign in with a scenic flight over Puget Sound . . .
Grace Town Vineyards will offer a golden opportunity to
taste the 2009 vintage of Reckonyard Gold pinot noir on the
day of bottling . . .just a sampling.
Scholarship
matching grant received: The
club has again been awarded a $2,000 scholarship matching
grant from the state's Higher Education Coordinating Board.
The grants are designed for organizations establishing and
building scholarship endowments. The funds will help support
our efforts to increase the Peg Phillips Theater Arts
Scholarship endowment to the $25,000 mark.

Wine
for Installation Dinner:
Those attending
the Installation Dinner on July 7 are asked to bring
a Washington wine to the May 26 meeting. These fine
beverages will make for a delightful "happy hour"
and dinner time. Daryl will be elated.
Wine'n
Shine Alert:
Our plan is to send Save the Date cards at the beginning of
June to potential attendees of our 19th annual charity event
-- Puttin' on the Ritz. Time now for members to submit
names, addresses and especially email
info to the steering committee to be added to our
master invite list. Please email this information ASAP as we
are cleaning up and compiling the final list. Send to Hugo
and the info will get to the folks working diligently on
this important project. Send even if you think they may
already be in the database. We have very few email addresses
and it is equally important that we develop a strong email
database to keep supporters up-to-date on early purchase
opportunities and details of the dinner show and auction.
