Rotary District 5080 is an international Rotary district with clubs in North Eastern Washington state, Northern Idaho and South Eastern British Columbia. Tim and wife Cindy live on a golf course in Washington state. They met in Rotary and were married in 2014. Tim has lived almost all of his life in Washington State. He grew up in Moses Lake and went to high school there. Tim graduated with a major in Government and a minor in Economics from Eastern Washington University and later earned a Masters Degree in Public Administration. In 1981, Tim started his career with Spokane Transit, becoming General Manager of Clallam Transit in 1983 and then General Manager of Ben Franklin Transit in 1995, retiring in 2013. While there he has served on numerous professional, community, and civic organizations.
Tim has been a Rotarian since 1984, first in Rotary Nor’Wester Club in Port Angeles and then in 1995 transferring to Columbia Center in the Tri-Cities, serving on the Board and as President in 2012-2013. He has served District 5080 as Annual Fund Chair and he is a Rotary Leadership Institute graduate.
One of the highlights of the meeting was the presentation of two Paul Harris medals. One to Helga Logan (PH+1) and one to Jaret Thompson (PH+5). These medals signify the generous donations made by these members to the Rotary Foundation. The mission of the Rotary Foundation is to advance world understanding, goodwill and peace through improvements in health, support of education and alleviation of poverty.








RI President Holger Knaack is the Rotary International President for the Rotary Year, 2020-21.
Holger's theme for 2020-21, "Rotary Opens Opportunities"
Holger asks Rotarians to create opportunities that strengthen their leadership, help put service ideas into action, and improve the lives of those in need.
The Kimberley Rotary Club continues to support the local community in spite of the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Recent services and projects: Free delivery of groceries from Save-On Foods and the Helping Hands Food Bank to those isolating due the pandemic. Donation of $1,800.00 to the Helping Hands Food Bank. Support of our local Girl Guides by purchasing 120 boxes of Girl Guide Cookies and donating these to the Food Bank. Donation of a digital printer to Healthy Kimberley Food Recovery. Making and donation of 110 non-medical masks to Valley View and Mountain View Lodges. A $1,500.00 scholarship to a Selkirk Secondary School graduate. Purchase of the concrete for the new walkway from the Arena parking lot to the Rotary Splash Park and washrooms to provide access to those with mobility issues. Soon to be completed, an Engineering study of the feasibility of rebuilding and upgrading the aging Marysville Walkway. This local/tourist gem has been a key local attraction for well over 30 years.
Fundraising issues: Due to the pandemic our local Rotary club has not been able to hold its regular summer fundraisers. No LobsterFest, No JulyFest fundraiser, No Pancake Breakfasts, No Gran Fondo, and No Fall Fair. The lost of these events has not stopped our local club. Thanks to the hard work of members three grants have been secured for a total of over $19,000.00 which will pay for the Engineering studies for the Marysville Falls Walkway. Great thanks here to Rotary International, the Columbia Basin Trust and Teck. Securing grants is much more successful with larger clubs and organizations so the Kimberley Rotary Club is always looking for new members.
August is Rotary Membership Month: This is a great opportunity to join a world renowned service club. Watch for invitations to find out if Rotary is for you. If you have the heart of a Rotarian, a willingness to put "service above self", you will find Rotary is the club for you.




A month or so ago, it was announced that the Kimberley Rotary Club’s application to participate in the above Pilot Program was approved by Rotary International. We are one of only 200 Rotary Clubs world-wide whose plan received approval, 1,300 applied.
This pilot is primarily about membership. Trying new things to make our club more attractive to prospective members and at the same time keep current members engaged. Our prime objective for initiating this Pilot Program is to attract and retain members.
On July 18, 2011 your Board approved two major changes for Kimberley Rotary that will provide members increased flexibility for experiencing fellowship at our meetings.
Rotary District 5080 Group Study Exchange Sub-Committee seeks Team Leader for the Group Study Exchange Team to D4510 Brazil
The District Group Study Exchange Sub-Committee is now accepting applications for Team Leader for the exchange to D4510 (Brazil) that is scheduled for April 20 – May 20, 2013. D4510, described as an ecological paradise, is located in the mid-western region of Sao Paulo State. Metal industries, textile manufacturing and agriculture including coffee, sugar cane and oranges make this state the economic and industrial powerhouse of the Brazilian economy.
On behalf of the Rotary District 5080 Rotaplast Committee, I am writing to let your club in on the fact that we are working to support another Rotaplast mission in the coming months. In fact, last week District 5080’s grant committee awarded this project funds through a District Simplified Grant; in addition some club support has been received in the form of pledges. As such, we would like to get Kimberley involved this year. Attached are details about the mission to share with your members. This mission is coming up quickly.

When Rotary members tried to bring toilets to a remote island, the population wasn’t ready.

As we stand at the threshold of the third decade of the 21st century, imagine where we’re

When clubs cultivate relationships with Rotary alumni, both sides benefit.

The people who fill the truly essential roles in society are often in short supply

After successfully establishing a presence in Great Britain and Ireland, Rotary expanded its reach to mainland Europe with the chartering of a club in Madrid, Spain, on New Year’s Day 1921.
