Next Week's Meeting
Wednesday, June 22
Westin Hotel and Zoom
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM
Christine Gregoire, Hope Through Partnership
Seattle is the economic engine of the region and beyond. Following the Great Recession, we led in recovery time and economic vitality. That’s what we can do when we come together in partnership to ensure the region is a great place to live, work and enjoy. Challenge Seattle has engaged and continues to engage in partnerships to address COVID, homelessness, housing affordability, climate and more. Make no mistake, we are in very challenging times but if we join the public, private, and philanthropic sectors together, there’s not much we can’t accomplish. We need hope in our communities and that is best done through partnerships. Let's talk about it.
Dorothy Bullitt, our member and Club President from 2001-2002 introduced our main program speaker, Trish Bostrom, who won the Pac 8 singles championship, played in the French and Australian Opens, defeated Billie Jean King at Wimbledon, and is a member of the UW Hall of Fame as well as the Pac 12 Hall of Fame. She then went onto law school and practiced estate planning and corporate law and became a civic leader, serving on several boards and government commissions.
Trish began her inspiring presentation explaining her passion for Title IX that is celebrating 50 years since its passage in 1972. She walked us through her journey to being an advocate for women’s sports, equal rights for female athletes (and all women), and a fantastic tennis player from her days growing up in West Seattle and then during her historic time at the University of Washington.

The Rotary Foundation Annual Appeal
Please make your donation to The Rotary Foundation today.
As Seattle 4 Rotary members, we are committed to providing service and support to communities. Please join your fellow club members by making your annual donation to The Rotary Foundation (TRF), which transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world.
When you give to TRF you are directly supporting Rotary’s work. Your gift makes our service projects — projects that eradicate polio, promote peace, develop communities, improve the environment, and improve the daily lives of millions — happen. You can find out more about the impact of giving by clicking HERE.
Our overall goal is to have 100% of our Seattle 4 members donate to TRF. We need your help today to help us reach that goal.
4. Invite your connections to a weekly meeting, and let mary@seattlerotary.org know so they may be introduced.
