SUPPORT OUR ROTARY FOUNDATIONS FOR A YEAR OF ACTION AND IMPACT!
As Rotarians, we are leaders connecting for extraordinary good –both in our community and around the world. Together we are eradicating polio and malaria, bringing fresh water to rural villages worldwide to stop the spread of disease, and helping our neighbors in need with housing, healthy foods, and educational opportunities.
Once a year we ask you to fulfill your membership obligations and take action by making two gifts that will impact the world. One is to the Seattle Rotary Service Foundation (SRSF). The other is to The Rotary Foundation (TRF). Thank you for taking action now to help our club have a powerful and positive impact on our world.
Do you have a friend, co-worker, or acquaintance who you think would enjoy Rotary membership?

Alone and afraid: The Plight of the Immigrant Spouse
March 6 at Noon
The Sheraton, 1400 6th Ave.
Imagine yourself a victim of domestic violence in this country. What are your options? What are your rights? Chances are, due to our ever-increasing awareness, you would likely know these answers.
Now imagine yourself an immigrant victim of domestic violence in this country, dependent on the abuser, unsure of your options, ignorant of your rights. Alone and afraid.
In recognition of International Women’s Day, Past President Dorothy Bullitt will moderate a panel, including Consul General of Japan, Yoichiro Yamada, and three women who are actively working to address and raise awareness of this lesser-known, but equally devastating aspect of domestic violence.
NEW! Guests, visiting Rotarians, and members who are not on the meal plan can now purchase their lunch in advance. Online sales end the Friday before each luncheon.
If you miss the cutoff, guests can still register by contacting Mariah at mariah@seattlerotary.org.
Members are still welcome to purchase their lunch at the door.
If you plan to bring a prospective member as a guest, please contact Caroline at caroline@seattlerotary.org.
Marilyn Strickland, selected last year to lead the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, illustrated in her talk to Seattle 4 that she embodies President Cindy’s twin themes of Impact and Action.
She called on Rotarians to be proud advocates and partners in supporting business, to recruit and promote diversity in the workforce, and to support restoring the practice of affirmative action.
Steve’s grandmother was a Pilot, but not the kind that comes to mind first. No, she was an active member of Pilots International, a Rotary-like service organization in Texas. A seed was sewn!
