inside the courtroom: Tales from Washington State Solicitor General Noah Purcell
October 3 at noon
The Westin, 1900 5th Ave.
We’re all familiar with the state of Washington's epic battles in federal courts, as told to us recently by Attorney General Bob Ferguson and Federal Judge James Robart. But what is it like actually arguing those cases?
Noah Purcell, Washington's solicitor general, is the one person who can tell us. He is the chief legal representative of the state and chief counsel to the offices of the attorney general, secretary of state, and lieutenant governor. He argued the immigration ban and other notable cases and will give us his unique perspective from inside the court and across the bench.
It is my pleasure to introduce our newest member, Kelly O’Brien, vice president of philanthropy at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Kelly has been nominated by Carl Behnke and Karl Ege and her classification is Health Care.
This week's Recruiter Rewards prize was donated by Rita Koefod and Northgate Mall.
MOTIVATE. REWARD. INSPIRE. THANK.

The Seattle Rotary Service Foundation announced the opening of the 2018 Opportunity Grants cycle. This funding program works to be responsive to the preferences of our member donors and the needs of our community, recognizing that sometimes our usual structure of annual grants does not make funds available when special opportunities, emergencies, and unique needs arise.
The maximum grant will be $7,500 and the minimum is $500. All applications must be received by SRSF by December 1, 2018.
Applications for these grants must come through the regular Seattle Rotary Service Committees.
For more information on committees, including those that do not have regular meeting times, see thecommittee page on our website. Meeting times and locations are subject to change, contact committee chairs for more information.
