How We Built the New Burke Museum
January 15th at Noon
Hyatt Olive 8, 1635 8th Ave
An unwavering commitment to “turning the museum inside out” led the Burke Museum to build a radically transparent and accessible new facility. Observing visitors’ response to behind-the-scenes tours sparked Executive Director, Julie K. Stein, and her team on a ten-year journey to build a new facility—one that reveals the museum’s research and collections, and connects visitors to the staff and volunteers who use them to learn, generate knowledge, be inspired, experience joy, and to heal.
The new Burke Museum features 13 visible labs and workrooms integrated among six galleries as well as play spaces for young learners and alcoves for flexible programming. These interwoven spaces and transparencies blur traditional lines to establish the Burke as a new kind of museum and a whole new way to experience our world. Julie Stein will give an overview of the Burke Museum’s history and talk about the challenges, vision, project milestones, and realization of opening the new facility.
Jack Ablin of Cresset Capital, who has three decades of money management experience and is the author of Reading Minds and Markets: Minimizing Risk and Maximizing Returns in a Volatile Global Marketplace, was back at our podium for the third time to present his economic forecast for the year. “It was an honor to be invited back” he said and mentioned that he was going to reframe the normal economic forecast and focus his talk on “goals-based investing.”
The reason to reframe the discussion is due to the shift from defined benefits provided by your company to having your own personal 401k; “there is now a whole generation of Americans fending for themselves.”
Votes must be received by 5:00 pm Wednesday, January 15th for our $40,000 Homelessness Grant
At the January 8th Rotary luncheon, the Seattle Rotary Service Foundation presented the two finalists for our $40,000 Homelessness Grant to be awarded later this month. Our goal is to help address the chronically homeless in Seattle, including those affected by mental illness or drug addiction. We received 10 great proposals and the grants committee narrowed it down to two finalists.
An email was sent to all members on January 8th with a Survey Monkey link so you can vote for your choice. If you did not receive this email/link, please contact Mariah at Mariah@SeattleRotary.org.
