Over 100 members and guests attended the annual Rotating the Wheels dinner, held this year at the rockin’ Red Hook Brewery in Woodinville. The main purpose of the gathering was to salute the outgoing administration of Kim Shrader and to welcome the new leadership of Brian Evison.
Norm Johnson served as Master of Ceremonies. Dick Clarke gave the invocation and led the pledge to the flag. The buffet dinner of beef and salmon was catered by McCormick and Schmick.
After the meal and dessert, recognition of Kim Shrader’s year as president began. As Norm explained, “Being a Rotary Club president is a minimum 3-1/2 year commitment, from the time a person is elected until his or her term as past president ends. We’ve had 17 strong leaders give us that commitment and that’s what has made the BBRC great!” READ MORE

There is a critical need to find host families for 100 high school students from the former Soviet states who will arrive in Seattle in mid-July. Elliott Bay Rotary is coordinating the home stays of these students, who will be in the area for four weeks. Some wonderful families have volunteered to host, but the sponsors need more. These students are here on scholarship from the US State Department to learn and observe our democratic society and the English language. READ MORE
