Father Stephen Sundborg Civility: Reclaiming the Idea of America
July 10 at Noon
The Westin, 1900 5th Ave.
In this presidential election year and new year for Seattle4, we will focus frequently on civic engagement and civil discourse. Our program on July 10 will explore how we can frame the discussions of the year by seeking to understand more deeply how “civility” is essential to being citizens united for the common good of America and its ideals.
In addition, Seattle4 member, Jim Moore, will lead a tribute to our beloved member and polio prevention advocate, Steve Crane, who passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, June 27.
Celebrate the start of the new year with Seattle City Rotaract, a young professionals club sponsored by Seattle #4. You'll have the opportunity to meet the members, hear more about what they've accomplished this year, and learn about their plans for 2019-2020 at this casual rooftop barbecue. Rotarians, friends, family, and anyone interested in learning more about the club are welcome to attend. Tickets are $20 and include food and drinks.
8:30-11:00 am @ Northwest Harvest Warehouse, 22220 68th Ave. S., Kent
Join Rotarians and Rotaractors from around the district for a morning of hands-on service. You'll be helping to pack some of the millions of pounds of healthy fruits and vegetables RFH provides every year for families and individuals in need.
Thursday, July 18
5:00 pm @ Mary Wagner's house on Mercer Island
Excited, engaged and eager Rotary members willing to mentor young Winners for Life students on Saturday afternoons for three hours during September 7 through November 16 (as many Saturdays as you can accommodate) are invited to attend this event and learn more.
Wednesday, July 24
6:15-8:00 pm @ the Women's University Club, 1105 6th Ave.
The Peacebuilder Committee invites you to attend a special film screening and discussion featuring Joshua Seftel, the filmmaker who tells the stories of remarkable Muslim-Americans in this Emmy-nominated film series. This event, moderated by Seattle's own Aneelah Afzali, Executive Director of the American Muslim Empowerment Network (AMEN), is sponsored by Rotary District 5030 Peacebuilders, World Without Hate, The City of Seattle Human Rights Commission and the Women’s University Club Foundation.
On Wednesday, August 21, instead of our usual luncheon, Seattle 4 Rotary will host a special community discussion at Town Hall Seattle featuring speaker Jeff Robinson.
This event is open to the public, and members are encouraged to share it with anyone who may be interested in the subject. The office will be sending out an invitation that can easily be forwarded to your network early next week. Stay tuned and contact Mariah if you have any questions.
Following the public presentation, Seattle 4 Rotary members are invited to attend an exclusive reception with Jeff Robinson featuring heavy appetizers and a no-host bar. Members do not need to register for this and are allowed to bring one guest. Please make sure to bring your name badge for entry.
Non-members can register for the public presentation through the link below. Tickets are $5 and free for youth.
