Amazon HQ2 - Everything you need to know about the biggest headquarters contest ever
November 29 at Noon
LOCATION CHANGE - Hyatt Olive 8 1635 8th Ave.
GeekWire’s Monica Nickelsburg will lead a conversation with Heather Redman, Co-Founder, Flying Fish Partners and Chair of the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and Matthew Gardner, Chief Economist with Windermere Real Estate about the economic impact of Amazon and the retail giant’s desire to establish a second headquarters. Amazon promises 50,000 jobs and a $5 billion investment in the new city. As many as 238 municipalities apparently want what we already have in Seattle – should they? We’ll find out what HQ1 has meant to Seattle’s economy and way of life and what a second corporate headquarters means in the long run.

HOLIDAY SHOPPING WITH ROTARY BOYS & GIRLS CLUB KIDS
Saturday, December 9
10:00am-3:00pm @ Rotary Boys & Girls Club
201 19th Ave
Each year the Rotary Community Service Committee, in conjunction with the Rotary Boys & Girls Club, creates a wonderful opportunity for all Rotarians (and friends/families) to take a deserving, less-fortunate child on a holiday shopping outing. All of the children are from the Rotary Boys & Girls Club and are selected for the program on the basis of need.
SEATTLE ROTARY SERVICE FOUNDATION OPPORTUNITY GRANTS
The Seattle Rotary Service Foundation (SRSF) has announced a new pilot program called “Opportunity Grants”. SRSF is trying 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.
All applications must be received by SRSF by December 1, 2017.
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.
