Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club
Best Darn Club in the World
Colleen Turner and the Pedersen clan were able to visit Elk Run Farm this past Saturday and get a first-hand look at a remarkable example of Rotary action right here in our area.

We truly kicked off Autism Awareness Month with the Mayoral Proclamation and Mimi Siegel being awarded the All in for Autism Leadership Award on the 7th April. We will have a story picked up by the Bellevue Reporter on Monday. Registrations continue to show growth and revenue is still strong. We now need to push our sponsors and other avenues to make sure we get more registrations.
A healthy jump in registrations (36.1%) and volunteers (73.3%) marks this week’s update. This is encouraging as we are seeing average price per registration holding at $30.70. Our progress with the All in for Autism meeting on 7th April is good – our guests and Bellevue Reporter are confirmed and we are working on b-roll in preparation. We need to lock in the final media representatives, which will happen this week.
April 7th will be the press event for the Mayor’s Proclamation. We are coordinating our efforts to make this event happen effectively. T-shirts are designed in the hands of the vendor. New posters and flyers were delivered to the club. We are starting to see engagement from outreach in registrations with a 17.2% bump this week, which is encouraging. We have secured prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place positions in the 5K and 10K from Kendra Scott.
