Annual Holiday Party
All Welcome!
The Seattle Rotary Mariners invite you to help us celebrate the holidays at our annual Christmas Party. The festivities will take place in the Center for Wooden Boat’s in the Wagner Education Center Sail Loft (1010 Valley Street). Free parking after 6:00 pm.
It will be a Potluck / BYOB. Spouses and significant others are welcome.
We will meet at 5:30 pm outside the WAC and proceed on a 30 - 40 minute walk guided by Paul Nunn of Urban ArtWorks. Walk at your own pace as we are guided through the banners brightening downtown city streets. Holiday lights will be in full glory!
The Seattle 4 Rotary Arts Committee produced “Welcome Back to Your Seattle,” a banner project to revitalize downtown, invest in BIPOC artists and encourage families and businesses affected by the pandemic. The banners brighten the downtown core from James to Denny and 1st to 9th Avenues and encourage a return downtown.
All the banners were designed by artists of color, who were paid for their work.
The local non-profit, Urban ArtsWorks, selected the artists, and local firm SuperGraphics produced the banners, permitted them with the City of Seattle, and hung them this fall.
We will meet back at the WAC for no-host beverages and bites (optional). Look forward to seeing you there.
Please pre-register so we may know how many to expect for the walk. For those that wish to go to the WAC for refreshments afterward, please email Doug Seto so he may make the appropriate arrangements: dougseto@comcast.net
The 21st Annual Rotary Shopping Event is coordinated by the Community Service Committee along with the Rotary Boys and Girls Club and Seattle Rotaract. For the second year as a "Zoom event", it will help make the holidays brighter for 25 happy children. Your SRSF donation helps fund this great cause.
Merry everything, Happy always! Come celebrate with us...

And, the names of candidates nominated shall be announced to the Club in writing two weeks prior to the date of the election.
