Andrea Driessen

Gracenotes: The Actionable Tool to Boost Meaning, Mattering, and Legacy
 

Join Andrea Driessen, TEDx Speaker whose Gracenotes Talk went viral on day one. Gracenotes are an ACTION we take to say, "I SEE you, Here's WHY and HOW you MATTER...". They express our sincerest thoughts about others at all stages of their lives' journeys. For Rotarians, they're a tangible, human-centered, service-driven and personalized way to help people and communities foster more meaning, feel calmer, and more connected as well as help navigate, grief, change, and loss.

Tribute to Desmond Tutu

May 8, 2002, Seattle 4 Rotary had the honor of hosting Desmond Tutu as a featured speaker.  This meeting was a "memory of a lifetime" for many members.   Dorothy Bullitt will pay tribute to this great humanitarian and reflect on how his presence that day changed many of those that attended. 

DO IT NOW...
 
 
Our Goal - District 5030

"I have the power to make a difference in our climate crisis. I will use my power to do everything I can, through my actions and my voice, to bring about change. I will lead and encourage others to work as a team to solve this challenge. Together we will succeed!  The change begins here, with me, now."

 

Once you have taken the Individual Pledge please post to our members-only Facebook or email Eric Christensen, Chair of the Seattle #4 Environmental Sustainability Committee.
