Intended as a library where you can just pull a speaker’s presentation off the shelf, Seattle Rotary Online has been sponsored by First Choice Health CEO, Ken Hamm. Ken is willing to share the financial load (and public awareness!) with companies or other organizations that wish broader awareness within the club or community.
 
Sponsorships are available for as little as $500Please contact Seattle 4 Rotarian, David Endicott by email or at 206-409-3275.

Wider World of Rotary

The Rotaractor of the Year for Seattle City Rotaract is Rekha Mathew!!   She dove head first into all things Rotary!!  As the VP of Programs at Seattle City Rotaract she did a great job of networking and inviting outstanding speakers for the club.  And when the speakers arrived she made them feel right at home.  She wants to continue to do good in the world through Rotary. And we are all optimistic about her next year as President of Seattle City Rotaract.  To meet Rekha Mathew and other exciting members of Seattle City Rotaract, please join us on June 28 for their anniversary party!
