The Tully Coffee Story
The BBRC was treated to a first-hand account about the creation and growth of one of Seattle’s newest companies, The Tully Coffee Company. Chairman and CEO of the upstart company, Tom O’Keefe
has been in the commercial real estate industry for over 25 years and takes this experience into his new venture. Described by Bob Holert, who handled introductions, “Tully’s is like Avis … they’re
trying harder.” More

Rotary Minute
President Cary gave a Rotary Minute about the Rotary Wheel. When Rotary was founded in 1905, a prototype of today’s Wheel was crafted. The designer wanted the emblem to signify “motion and progress.” As Rotary
grew, different versions of “The Wheel” emerged. Finally, in 1922, Rotary International took pains to standardize the emblem, asking Montague Bahr to design it. The Rotary Wheel, which we all wear
proudly, survives to this day as Rotary moves to celebration of its Centennial in 2005.

Rotary First Harvest
One of District 5030’s most significant
projects is Rotary First Harvest. From the beginning of the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club, we have supported RFH with our financial contributions, our hands-on work, and our leadership. Rotary First Harvest’s Board
of Directors praised the volunteerism of our own Earl Falk recently with a letter to President Cary.
RFH cited Earl’s continued support and
his leadership for this important organization. In his own quiet way, Earl has asked Reveille to “please continue to generate Club interest in our monthly visit to Northwest Harvest, every second Saturday, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.” Members receive a meeting make up when they attend. You’re invited to bring your family members to help get food ready for distribution. Next opportunity is Saturday, September 9th, at Pier 91, in Seattle.
