We had a huge turnout for the Seahawks' Monday night game versus the Detroit Lions. Gordy and Sharon provided hotdogs and beans, and there were plenty of libations to be enjoyed by all.

At halftime, we celebrated the "World Greatest Meal to End Polio" in our effort to raise community awareness for the fight against polio. For as little as 60 cents, a child can be vaccinated against polio for life. Donations now work even harder. From 2013 to 2018, every US dollar Rotary commits to polio eradication will become three dollars, thanks to a 2-to-1 match from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. We are incredibly close to the final goal of complete elimination of Polio worldwide. Help the cause and learn more here: http://wgmeal.com/

The Seahawks' defense completely stifled the Lions' offense for nearly the entire game. They never allowed the Lions an offensive touchdown. The Hawks had their own struggles on the offensive side of the ball. After a promising drive that led to a 29 yard touchdown strike from Wilson to Baldwin, our inexperienced offensive line gave up 6 sacks, 2 of which led to Russell Wilson fumbles. Russell's second fumble was returned all way to the endzone for Detroit's only touchdown of the night. It was tense finish to the game. The Seahawks led 13-10 with 6 minutes remaining. The Lions drove the length of the field and were in scoring position when Matt Stafford connected with Calvin Johnson for what looked like a touchdown strike. It was not to be for the Lions, as BAM BAM KAM made a miraculous play to knock he ball out just inches shy of the goal line. The Hawks then ran out the clock and clinched a close victory.
