President Kim called the Seattle 4 Rotary Club to order at 12:30 p.m. on January 22, 2020 at the Hyatt Olive 8 in downtown Seattle. She introduced visitors and called on Ken Grant to talk about Australia, his native country which has been ravaged by fires. Ken spoke about his native land and introduced a short video, “I Love a Sunburnt Country.” Ken said he appreciated the good wishes of the club toward Australia.
Tom Mesaros provided the Inspiration for the Day. He cited that the topic of the speaker today was really about cooperation. He said that we use cooperatives all the time, grocery stores, health care, insurance, utilities, etc. Tom said that cooperation allows us to create great things including the Seattle 4 Rotary club, and the future is about moving forward every day. He ended his remarks with “Competition makes us faster; cooperation makes us better.”

This Thursday members received a link to a survey to share your experience of our Seattle 4 Rotary meetings. The results of this survey will be reviewed by a Strategic Options Task Force, which will use member feedback and research to recommend options for how we can best maintain and enhance the elements of our club that provide the most value to members while keeping costs at a reasonable level. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey by Friday, January 31 to share your feedback.
If you didn't receive a link for the survey, please contact Mariah at Mariah@SeattleRotary.org.
Now through Valentine's Day, the club is offering a Sweetheart of a Deal. Prospective members can join Seattle 4 Rotary for an initiation fee of just $100. That's a savings of $350 for an individual member!

Do you know someone who you think would be a great addition to our club? Sharing Rotary is easy and prospective members receive a complimentary lunch for their first visit! Here’s what to do:
Step 1 Invite someone to a lunch meeting and decide on a date. You can find a list of our future speakers on our website at:
Step 2 Email Caroline at Caroline@SeattleRotary.org and let her know your selected date, name of your guest, their company or organization, and their email. The office will create a name badge for your guest and a packet of information about membership that they can collect at check-in.
Step 3 Meet your guest at the meeting and enjoy the program. If you are late or can’t make the meeting, don’t worry! Someone from our membership team will host your guest and take good care of them.
Step 4 After the meeting, we will follow up with your guest and invite them to future meetings. We also encourage you to connect with them to answer questions and offer to act as their sponsor.
Our members are our greatest asset. We appreciate your help in Sharing Rotary and keeping our club strong and vibrant!
