Club Stories
Priority Four of Rotary International’s Action Plan is to “Increase Our Ability to Adapt.”  As a test, Rotary changes its leadership from top to bottom each year. It forces each Rotarian to adapt to new leadership.
 
As your new District Governor, I can say that following in the footsteps of Governor David Lukov will be hard. Thank you, David, for your leadership! Hopefully, all of you will adapt to my leadership.
 
 
The Giving Plate is a gift to the members of the Rotary Club of Burlington in recognition of all the love and blessings that flow within our Club and out into our community and the world.  We are a family who cares and shares and truly Do Good in the World.

It is that time of year again when the change of guard takes place in the Rotary World at every level: Club, District, Zone and at Rotary International. Thank You to past District Governor Bev Harrington, who is a member of our club, as she took over the reins in the middle of a pandemic and guided and led District 5050 exceptionally well. We now welcome our new District Governor Raj Rajagopal.
 
"Imagine Rotary” is the 2022-23 presidential theme that Rotary International President Jennifer Jones unveiled. She is asking Rotary members to dream big and take action: “We all have dreams, but acting on them is a choice.

Bev grew up in San Mateo, California, and lived in the same house until she left for college with a stay-at-home mom and a dad who worked two jobs to provide for her and her three brothers. It was a happy time with summers spent camping and water skiing. After returning from a year in Austria as an exchange student, she attended the University of California, Berkeley, until marrying and starting a family. 
 
 
Skagit Kids Read Week is an annual community celebration of reading and literacy featuring an author that can travel to Skagit County for events. Strategic events are normally held in schools, libraries and child care centers, as well as an event at the Children’s Museum of Skagit County with the author onsite to do a reading, provide opportunities for literacy activities and engage the child, families and caregivers with resources to extend them at home.
