Fireside Chats: An important Rotarian responsibility Once about every three years, club leadership asks ALL members to take a couple hours out of a winter evening to share thoughts about the direction of Woodinville Rotary. If ever there were a "semi-mandatory" meeting for our group of Rotarians, it would be attendance at a fireside. Four dates have been selected as options for attending the 2012 firesides and each session will cover essentially the same agenda plus ideas and questions from those attending. As of Friday, 18 of our 50 members have yet to sign up to attend. 1.

Please Sign Up and plan to attend a Rotary Fireside Chat
Monday, Feb. 13 and Wednesday, Feb. 15 Contact Greg Riggs or Steve Dolan for details and to pick your night!
"How do we serve our community The last firesides were conducted in January of 2009 and marked a major breakthrough in developing information for members on not only the decision-making process of the club but how the club's charitable-giving beneficiaries had evolved over the years. In 2004, the main topic of the firesides was to see if members were supportive of making a three-year $90,000 commitment to the development of what became the city's Rotary Community Park next to Woodinville High School. The club has and will continue to listen, welcome and consider the passions of its members for civic engagement and charitable giving. It's the Rotary way. The groundwork is laid through fireside chats and board meetings.

Woodinville Rotary honored two dedicated civic contributors at our 25th Anniversary Celebration held January 31 at Crystal Lake Lodge. From left with presenters Eric Greenwood and Erv DeSmet, the Music Project's founder and inspiration Bernadette Bascom, Marie Hartford and John Schmied of the Friends of the Hidden River. Paul Harris Fellowships were awarded Bernadette and John for their work in education and compassionate concern for youth. Marie and John are among the six teachers who influenced King County to develop the community center at Brightwater into an environmental education site available to public school and college students. Bernadette's program started at the Secondary Academy for Success and presently she is working with 23 members of the Northshore Wranglers, a local program for the developmentally disabled.
"Photo Ops" were plentiful at the anniversary potluck, including this group of charter members "plus one couldabeen". Fourteen members of the Northshore Rotary Club became Woodinville charter members which totaled 33 when the charter was awarded on January 31, 1987at a banquet at Bear Creek Country Club. It was the same year women were admitted to Rotary membership. |
