Tuesday's Program-January 3

Maltby Food
Bank
Expansion Plan

Since 2006, Woodinville Rotary has donated $21,500 to the Maltby Food Bank.
In 2006, the club provided a grant of $15,000 to be used for a down payment and to secure a loan to purchase the property. The balance was donated for equipment and supplies. Without the $15,000 grant, the purchase might not have been possible.


Presenting will be Director Fran Walster, Grant Writer Graham Byng and Woodinville Rotarian supporters
Tim House and Charlie Russell.

Membership invitations: The Board has voted to extend invitations of membership to three potential members, including Laurie Gerrard of Northshore YMCA (Erv DeSmet sponsor); Dawn Schink, a contracts officer with Puget Sound Energy (Tana Baumler sponsor); Ed McKellips, who has visited with Norm Noble (Steve Dolan sponsor). The membership committee will meet with each candidate and invite each to attend meetings to get acquainted with our dynamic and congenial gaggle of Rotarians.

Exchange student experiences:  To make Pauline Robin's stay with Woodinville Rotary a most memorable and worthy experience, Rotarians need to be reminded that sharing your and your family's time with Pauline is important to extending our family of Rotary. As an example, the club president and first lady plan to invite Pauline for an outing next month to the Seattle Art Museum where Pauline has expressed an interest in seeing the Gauguin exhibit. Surely you'll have an idea to share with Pauline and do not hesitate to ask her what she has on her list of things to do while she is here with us.

 

Annual election of officers:  The following officers for club operations between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013 were elected at the December 20 meeting: President, Greg Riggs; President-elect, Eric Greenwood; Vice President, Becky Clark; Secretary, Roger Martindill; Treasurer, Mike Visse; Past President, John Hughes. The nine directors serving on the club's board of directors will be appointed by President-elect Riggs.

 

 

Anniversary party January 31:  Clear the night of Tuesday, January 31 on your calendar to help our club celebrate our 25th anniversary. The Board has voted to return to Crystal Lake Clubhouse that night for dinner and entertainment and an enjoyable time celebrating one another and the many accomplishments of Woodinville Rotary. The planning committee includes Tana Baumler, Eric Greenwood, Jeff Lair, Gordy Green, and David Landau. Thanx for volunteering. More details later on cost, guests, menu etc., but please make every effort to attend.

 

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. On January 3, we'll get an update on happenings at the Maltby Food Bank and their plans to expand.

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 five community service projects that are unique to Woodinville Rotary. These include 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, renewable scholarships for Woodinville High School and SAS graduates where it will "make the difference" between affording and attending college. In the spring of 2012, the club will reach more than 1,000 five- and six-year old children with a water safety education program called "Jose the Otter," securing a pledge they will not go near water without an adult present.
