Rotary October 13^th meeting in the Marina Room –

We opened with the Pledge of Allegiance

 

Rich Bergdahl gave us a Foundation Moment – Discussed what great things Foundation does for the community and international needs. His hope is that everyone will acknowledge what Rotary International accomplishes and pledge to give at least One Dollar so that participation will reach 100%. More to come.

 

Don Dicks shared a funny story for the Inspirational Moment.

 

Guests – Christopher Stone from the Federal Way Club visited – Claire and Gabi came by to inform us all about a Geek Event happening at the Woodmark Hotel.

 

Announcements – Rick Ostrander wanted to thank everyone who participated in Rotary First Harvest – it was frozen peas and apple boxing.

Bunco was a success and Alice Volpe was the big winner.

Reading and Math Buddies – they are in a real need for volunteers – please contact Pat Swenson or Rick Ostrander if you want to help out. The program starts the first week of November.

Warm coats event is the 17^th of October.

December 6^th is the holiday event – Argosy Cruise out of Kirkland.

 

We had happy dollars –

 

Feature Speaker – Ralph and Diane Berthor – they represent Camp Prime Time for serious or terminally ill kids. We watched a video and it showed both kids and their parents having a great time in the mountains. They are looking for both volunteers and funding for the camp. Camp Prime Time is located 7 miles east of the Summit at White Pass.

 

Rich Bergdahl drew for the Joker but was not successful.
