Tuesday's Program-Nov. 8

21 Acres and
Rotary First Harvest

This week's meeting will introduce us to the 21 Acres Center for Local Food and Sustainable Living.

We meet at 21 Acres !!!

Gretchen Garth will describe programs and plans and we will have a chance to tour the facilities. Look for
our A-Frame Events sign for proper entrance to
the building on NE 171st (south ring road).

Ben Rasmus, Americorps volunteer working with Rotary First Harvest, will give us a report and Rotarian Jon Bylin will advise how members can help sustain
this vital Rotary district program.

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.
     

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 reading books for their classroom libraries.

  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.
