Chamber Lunch Features State of the City
Rotary Club of Kirkland members are invited to the Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce luncheon on March 1 to hear Kirkland Mayor Penny Sweet present the annual State of the City Address. To register, click here.
 
Mayor Sweet began her first term on the Kirkland City Council in January 2010. She served as deputy mayor in 2010-11, and 2014-15. The City Council selected Sweet to serve as mayor for the remainder of 2019 at its January 2 meeting.  She has lived in Kirkland since 1985 and served as the chair of the Market Neighborhood Association from 2007-2009.

Rotary Scholarship Applications Open
Rotarians, the 2020-21 scholarship program is now underway!  The Rotary Club of Kirkland is offering 18 scholarships totaling $24,000!  If you’d like to see the scholarships for this year, visit the Scholarships webpages.

Again this year, individual Rotarians better than matched the club’s $7,000 scholarship allocation to boost our scholarship program by $4,000 over last year.  Thank you to Rotarians who have committed to scholarship sponsorships again this year!
 
Our vocational service committee needs your help with scholarship applicant interviews!  If you are willing to devote some time to interviewing students for our scholarships, please get in touch with with one of the team leads who are listed below, or with Gary Cohn.  We need several people for each interview team.  And if you are willing to lead the interview team for Emerson High School applicants, the club will be grateful for your leadership!

Membership Photos & Profiles
Is your membership photo current?  Can new members recognize you from your photo?  Is your membership profile up-to-date?  Hopefully we will be vaccinate soon, herd immunity will be achieved, and once again we’ll be able to gather in person for meetings.  As we plan for a membership surge post-COVID, let’s ensure new Rotarians can recognize us in the Club Photo Directory.  If your photo isn’t an easily recognizable “headshot” as the photographers say, we’ll crop it for you!  If your photo isn’t current, we'll upload a new one for you!  All member profile street addresses will be updated to USPS standards by the end of February, so please check yours to make sure it is (or they are) correct. Need assistance?  Contact Gary Cohn.  Happy 2021!
