Packages for
Santa: Don't be left out of the Gift Exchange!
Ms. Claus issued a special request
of Rotarians this week -- urging each to wrap and bring a white,
grey or green elephant gift to be exchanged at Santa's visit to
the club December 20. She is also rounding up elves to assist in
this annual event. She asks that these choice items be brought the
morning of the meeting.
Board Meeting Thursday:
Club officers and board members will meet
at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the conference room of Ryan General
Contractors at 20250 144th Ave. NE, Suite 300 (Rorry Dunbar's
offices). Items on the agenda include planning for our silver
anniversary charter night January 31, firesides scheduled for
February, club dues structure, and suggestions for spurring
members to attend the district Rotary conference next April in
Coeur 'd Alene, Idaho.

Exchange student interviews:
Special thanks to Larry Duffield, Jorge
Gonzalez and exchange student Pauline Robin who devoted their
Saturday morning to interviewing candidates seeking to be outbound
exchange students next July.
Programs for 2012:
Got an idea for a program you would like to
see at a Rotary meeting in 2012?
Jorge Gonzalez
is coordinating the schedule and will welcome suggestions. On
January 10, for example, we will hear from returning Ambassadorial
Scholar Sasha Anderson who has spent a year of study in India.

Operation Warm:
This was the seventh year
Woodinville Rotary has partnered with Northshore
Rotary for the Santa breakfast and new coat
distribution. Twenty seven of our members --
bringing spouses, children, partners,
grandchildren -- turned out Friday evening and
Saturday morning to set out and distribute more
than 600 coats. A record turnout of more than
2,200 enjoyed breakfast, greeting Santa, having
their face painted for the festive occasion and
with kids receiving a toy and an Operation Warm
coat. |
