Catch up on the many initiatives the Kingston North Kitsap Rotary is working on!
Because the scheduled speaker at their Feb 23 meeting was unable to attend, Kingston North Kitsap Rotarians went into conversation about the many initiatives the Club is pursuing.
On behalf of Jackie Wood, President Chris Gilbreath reported the Youth Services Committee is again seeking applicants for the Club's academic and vocational scholarships.
"If you have someone who would be interested, ask them to visit the Club's website," said Gilbreath.
Kris Libby reminded Rotarians of the Club's next Kingston Order Bombing Run, Thurs, Feb 24, at Puerto Vallarta restaurant. All day, with special emphasis 6-8p.
Alice Amas told of the next Ale Trail Committee meeting Feb 23 at Westside Pizza in Kingston. Plans are underway to make the final Ale Trail year a good one for both hikers and partners.
The Club's International Committee has made grants to PARSA to assist its work with youth and women in Afghanistan, and to the Manzanillo Migrant Project in Mexico.
Doug Hallock reported the Scout Hall is still lacking an electrical OK, and a final occupancy permit, before it can be the scene, once again, of Scouts in action. Hallock further reported the building lacks a restroom facility, and that to add one would cost more than $30k. Fundraising for that will soon begin.
Mark Libby noted there will be a 10a work party Saturday, Feb 26, on the trails around Village Green. He said winter has not been too hard on the trails.
Ideas were shared on how to promote the Club's participation in the Kitsap Great Give event in April, to enhance the amount donated to the Club. Emily Froula will be essential in posting Club accomplishments on social media. Email will be sent with the same information to the Club's email lists. Additional ideas are welcomed.
Stan Mack reported on the recent Kingston Community Conversation, with results to be posted Mar 19. Stan agreed to share the information and results at a future joint club meeting.
How can a small, but mighty (Bill Maule's words) Club be so involved in its community. With caring, giving leadership and participation. That's how. It is the continuing story of the Kingston North Kitsap Rotary Club. And Club's like it around the world.
