Harvest Apples with Harvest Against Hunger!

Have you been waiting for an opportunity to lend a hand in a COVID-safe, socially distanced way? You are invited to help in harvesting thousands of pounds of apples from an orchard in Cashmere, WA (near Leavenworth) on Saturday, October 17th with Harvest Against Hunger (HAH).

Last year volunteers gleaned 23,000 pounds of apples. We'd like to double that amount this year - can you help us make that happen? 

The glean is scheduled for 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and we need at least 40 volunteers to get the job done. HAH has partnered with local apple warehouses and Northwest Harvest to get picking bags, ladders, and bins for our volunteers, but ask that you plan to bring gloves, a water bottle, snacks, and weather-appropriate clothing. And please be sure to wear a mask!

District 5030 Workshop: Enhancing Your Online Presence

Making a great virtual impression with your image and voice is essential for connecting with your audience. Is your virtual image an accurate reflection of your real self? Does it enhance or detract from who you are? How can you be more effective as a virtual presenter, facilitator, or leader?

In this 90-minute workshop, you’ll learn tips to apply immediately that will help you master your virtual image and increase connection at Rotary meetings and at work. Join us for this lively session with Virtual Image Master (and Toastmaster) Rebecca P. Murray who will give you a proven 5-point image and audio checklist to ensure you shine in every virtual scenario. This event is open to all District 5030 Rotarians. Click the link below to register.

PLEASE NOTE: This session is limited to 100 Rotarians.  So register right away!

Volunteers Needed at the Rotary Boys and Girls Club

 
The Seattle Rotary Boys & Girls Club, under the leadership of Patrick Carter, has taken on the role of full-day academic support and childcare for the Seattle Public Schools. This means they need to ensure students are online and learning with their respective classrooms. What problem does online learning present?  Without human touch and guidance, the students are having their share of struggles. Some of them still can’t read or are having problems with basic math. Unlike the kids who can stay at home, they don’t have a parent or guardian to step in and help them when they run into problems.
 
Seattle Rotary Boys & Girls Club needs volunteers to come down and help. The time slots 8:30 – 11:30 and 12:30 – 2:30 are available and all COVID-19 procedures are being followed. No reported cases have been identified during the past six months of operation at the club. Volunteers will need to complete a simple background check and follow the guidelines.
 
Please consider signing up to help by emailing Patrick Carter at pcarter@positiveplace.org.
 
Learn more about the Rotary Boys & Girls Club on their website.
