New Rotary Year 2021-2022

Each year on July 1, the Rotary wheel turns and a new Rotary year begins at all levels of the organization.  Leadership succession is an important part of the plan.  Each year a 3 year cycle begins with the election of nominees for Club President, District Governor and Rotary International President.  Those elected 3 years ago are now taking the office that they have been trained and groomed to fill.

Transportation in Transition

City of Arlington

"Transportation in Transition" was the title of the program presented by Rotarian and the City of Arlington Public Works Director, Jim Kelly, at our meeting on June 24.  Jim told us a little bit about the transportation project process, how transportation is changing, the city's needs, past projects, current projects, and planned improvements.  He hit on preservation, rehabilitation and new construction.  All require planning and funding before the work phase.  Jim has about 8 administrative staff that helps him and the city through the various phases.

Service Project

Splash Pad at Haller Park Opens Early June 24!

We helped to get it ready!

In addition to our club spear heading the fund drive to build the Splash Pad at Haller Park, as well as the playground, we have adopted Haller Park as a regular service project.  As such, we have partnered with the City of Arlington to keep the park clean and safe.
 
Our members and friends responded to the City's request to get the splash pad ready to open on July 1.  However, because of the predicted hear wave, the City moved up the opening to June 24. It was not open in 2020 because of the pandemic, so it needed a fresh coat of concrete stain before the toys and apparatus.  17 Rotarians and friends took on the job on June 12.  There is a photo album you can view.  Here are a few photos:

At Last--An In Person Celebration!

Since our club's Christmas Party on December 12, 2019, we have not been able to have an evening in person celebration of Rotarians and guests.  There was joy all around last Friday evening as we joined at the Community Hall at 7 Lakes to honor our outgoing officers and directors, install our new slate of officers and directors, and to recognize three special community members for their service to the community.  

Club Administrator Director Jola Barnett was our mistress of ceremonies.  She and her committee planned and organized the evening that included a nice buffet catered by the Centennial Bar and Grill.

Oso Slide Memorial

Dayn Brunner

Our speaker on June 3 was Dayn Brunner, the brother of one of the victims of the slide.  On March 22, 2014 at 10:37am, the SR530, or "Oso", slide engulfed the community around Steelhead Haven, just east of Oso. The mud and debris from the adjacent mountainside destroyed 49 homes and ended the lives of 43 people.  One of those victims was Dayn Brunner's sister, Summer Raffo, when the slide engulfed a stretch of  the highway.  Summer was diving from Darrington to a horseshoeing job near Ryan Falls west of Oso.
