Recent Socials and Projects
Our club has the ambitious goal of having a social event and a service project each month. Of course we try to make both of them FUN!
On October 5, it was Rotary Ladies' Night at the Hidden Vine Wine Bar. It was a chance for our lady members, our men's partners, and potential female members to gather to socialize and bond without the guys!

Above are photos from the event. From a guys perspective, it certainly looks like the ladies were having fun without us. HOW COULD THAT BE? Despite some discussion amongst the guys that there should a guys' only event, no one took the lead. What is the saying? "If you want to get the job done, hire a woman!"
On the project front, we had four of our members volunteer to help on September 16 with the "Day of Hope" event at the Arlington Airport. The Day of Hope is a large community outreach event put together by churches and businesses of North Snohomish County. The event offered goods and services to the under resourced members of our community.
To see a video of the event and perhaps see the Rotarians who help--Devin, Mel. Wayne and Marcia, click HERE!
Last Saturday, in partnership with the Snohomish County Chapter of the American Red Cross, we removed non functional smoke detectors and installed new detectors with 10 year batteries in the 9 mobile homes in the Riverside Mobile Home Park just east of Haller Park. In addition to two of our members, we had two of our recent luncheon guests join us in the service project: Jessica Martin and Chris Nevarro.
In the top photo Dave and Devin with the new operative smoke detector and the non-working detector being replaced. In the lower photo is the Red Cross representative, Richard Kennard, with Dave, Chris and Devin.
In addition to the smoke detector mini project, we have a project scheduled for the Fire Mountain Scout Camp on Saturday, October 14, to frame staff cabins. If you are interested in volunteering, contact our service director, Devin, by email: dbrossardjp@gmail.com.
