Kevin Crane and Charley Dickey kicked off the campaign for the 2023/2024 SRSF (Seattle Rotary Service Foundation). As a club of 300 strong, 55 have already committed to donating and will receive recognition in the form of being featured on a slide at a future meeting as well as receiving a pin that can be exhibited on your badge.
Congratulations to Seattle Rotary members Tabitha Claus and Paul Tsai for successfully completing the “RISE” (Rotarians Inspired to Succeed and Engage) leadership program sponsored by Rotary District 5030.
We celebrated the 18 graduates of this pilot program and recognized their Rotary mentors and the program facilitators.

Volunteer Service Day at Pike Place Market
Come pack “No-Cook Bags” for the Pike Market Food Bank. These bags provide ready-to-eat food to community members who are experiencing homelessness, do not have a kitchen, or are in a situation that prevents or limits their ability to store, cook and prepare food.
Community members pick up bags daily from the Pike Market Food Bank in addition to the regular grocery distribution program. The demand is high for these bags with more than 600 bags picked up EACH WEEK!
All of the food items for the bags will be procured in anticipation, we simply need willing hands to back them up and deliver them to the food bank.
We will be using a space right above De Laurenti’s in the Market to pack and we will have a few moments to learn about the network of social services operating in the Market Community.

Seattle Asian Art Museum Tour and Dinner
Gather for a self-guided tour of the Seattle Asian Art Museum, followed by a wonderful Italian dinner at Osteria La Spiga!
This terrific exhibit can only be seen in Seattle: What do late 18th- to 19th-century Edo (present-day Tokyo) and late 19th-century Paris have in common? This exhibition uncovers the shared renegade spirit that characterized the graphic arts and social cultures of these two dynamic cities. On view are over 90 Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints and paintings from SAM’s Japanese collection alongside private loans of works by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901).
