This week's meeting includes a presentation by Ethan Hansen and Derek Kaye, co-founders of Whispr Innovations, a robotic lawn mowing and battery electric landscaping company. Their mission is to provide high-quality services that are better for our health, reduce noise and that doesn't contribute to air pollution.
Don't forget about the Board Meeting next week on Tuesday. All members are invited.

Thank you to all of our sponsors. They are listed below. When you patronize them make sure to mention that you are a Lake Stevens Rotarian!
Our guest speaker last Friday was Anya Joy, owner of the Hot Yoga studio in Lake Stevens. Anya and her husband, Carl, bought a house and moved to Lake Stevens over a year ago. During the same period, they opened their Hot Yoga studio. Although the current studio is located on 91st Avenue NE, they are looking for a larger space. Requirements are from 1,200 to 2,500 square feet
Their theory is that you can start practicing Yoga at any age and deepen your practice at any level. Their infrared heaters and humidifiers provide a perfect environment to enjoy all the health benefits of hot yoga classes.
Anya is working on a hot yoga program for kids 5-12 years old. Aerial yoga is another program that they offer in their studio. Anya's focus is on your realignment when you begin using their Hot Yoga studio. Anya commented that she is a coach and teacher at heart.
Another program that is offered by Anya is a Sound Bath program. Yoga provides balance. Their website lists several classes that they offer at their studio. They provide non-hot yoga classes as well.
Help your local youth learn to become great members of your community by supporting them to participate in District 5050's Youth Adventures in Leadership (YAIL).
YAIL is a three-day event that helps students develop leadership and team building skills and contributes to positive personal growth. These students are future Rotarians and will become leaders in their communities, schools, and Rotary Interact and Rotaract.
This Rotary year, YAIL will be in person March 31 – April 2 at the Alexandra Neighborhood House in Surrey, BC.
Students who have attended YAIL and their parents have personally told me how wonderful the program is and how it has had such a positive impact on their sons and daughters. Remember, children of Rotarians can attend YAIL.
Note that Youth Exchange students in our District are expected to attend. Also, Youth Exchange students who will be going to other countries later this year are also expected to attend.
The cost of sponsoring a student to attend YAIL is just $325, so please find it in your budget to help provide new leaders for this world. Two posters are attached for your club to use (with cost) and for public use (no cost on the poster).
Members- invoices will sent to you for the semi-annual dues and voluntary contribution to The Rotary Fund (EREY). You can also be proactive before the invoices are sent. Cash, check, Venmo are all acceptable ways to make that payment. If you have yet to make your dues payment please contact the Treasurer to let him know when you will take care of this. Check your email for the invoice and be part of the Paid group. Thank you for supporting your Club.
Interact is a service club for youth ages 14-18. The name is a combination of the words international and action. We join Clubs in over 120 countries around the world. The global youth network is dedicated to community and international service. Every Interact Club project, great or small, has a lasting impact on society worldwide.
Now that school is back in session, Club Meetings will resume shortly. Contact Mrs. Odegaard for more information!
