SEATTLE ROTARY ONLINE

Seattle Rotary Online is a significant marketing opportunity that is available to organizations that wish to help co-sponsor it. Intended as a library where you can just pull a speaker’s presentation off the shelf, Seattle Rotary Online has been sponsored by First Choice Health CEO, Ken Hamm. Ken is willing to share the financial load (and public awareness!) with companies or other organizations that wish broader awareness within the club or community.
 
Sponsorships are available for as little as $500Please contact Seattle 4 Rotarian, David Endicott by email or at 206-409-3275.

Every Rotarian, Every Year

Seattle #4 Rotarians at pets 

By Virginia McKenzie
 

Seattle #4 Rotary is well represented at PETS:  Presidents Elect Training Seminar.  Every year, at about this time, all of the President Elects (PE’s) for the 49 Rotary Clubs in District 5030 gather for training.  The event lasts two weekends so the PE’s can choose to attend one weekend or the other.  Our very own Corinne Cavanaugh and David Endicott are in attendance to educate on how to create a social media presence and Music4Life.  Way to go Seattle #4 Rotary!
