For your calendar: Our annual holiday party has been scheduled for Tuesday evening, December 6, at the Crystal Lake Clubhouse, according to our Special Events Committee. There will be NO morning meeting that Tuesday. Gordy and Jan Green are again leading the team arranging for this popular time together....ably assisted by Sheila and Jeff Lair. Our thanks. It's going to be festive, gorgeous site for an occasion to help get all of us in the holiday spirit. Make sure your name is on the signup sheet.
     

Operation Warm: Sign up to Help Friday and Saturday...Co-chairs Charlie Russell and Karen McDonald report that the national program will issue its one-millionth coat this winter. We will again be distributing coats at the annual Santa Breakfast on Saturday, December 10 at Northshore Jr. Hi School. Plenty of Santa's helpers will be needed for the project. Operation Warm plans to send our club an extra 60 coats this winter to help celebrate the growth of the program. Ten other clubs in our district participate. 660 kids will receive this year's new coats.

 



 For a new twist for Show Your Colors: For the traditionalists among us who still follow the exploits of the Cougar and Husky football programs, you are encouraged to wear your colors at the November 22 meeting. WSU and UW gridders will close out their regular seasons Nov. 26 at the stadium where Sounders and Seahawks live.

  Others of us -- also proud of our schools  -- may want to reveal our school colors as well. Nebraska, Gonzaga, Iowa, Oregon, Butte Tech, -- even Idaho -- come to mind.

    Our program that morning will focus on the projects Woodinville Rotary supports in our community in which no other organizations or individuals are similarly engaged...namely (1) summer reading camps at Kokanee and Woodmoor elementary; (2) new warm coats for kids in need; (3) scholarships that will make a difference in a recipient's ability to afford to go to (and stay in) college; (4) a literacy project in  water safety education aimed at children of pre-school through early elementary school age; (5) dictionaries for third graders and appropriate age-level "just right" reading books for their classroom libraries.

District Guv Loves our Josh the Otter

Josh the Otter hinted that District Governor Ann Liberato should include him in the Rotary District Conference program next April at
Coeur d' Alene so 51 other clubs can learn about our new
water safety education project for 5 and 6 year olds.
   
 

 

Our Community Service Partner since 1990

 Banner Bank has participated with Woodinville Rotary Club since 1990 in the development and support
of the many community and education projects which are and have been the focal point
of our club's annual October charity fund-raising event.

 





  Woodinville Rotary Club's
 Charitable Giving Focus

Rotarians of Woodinville believe that providing a pathway for Woodinville's youth to obtain an education represents our opportunity to live "Service Above Self".

The club provides direct funding to programs from grade  school through college...new Operation Warm coats for young children in need, brand new dictionaries for every third grader, summer reading camps at Kokanee and Woodmoor elementary schools, music and academic opportunities at the Secondary Academy for Success (SAS), a pilot project at Woodinville High School for peer-to-peer math tutoring, and renewable scholarships for Woodinville High School and SAS graduates where it will "make the difference" between affording and attending college.
