Good Morning Woodinville Rotary!

Rotarian George extended a warm Rotary thank you to the Nardone’s, for donating an event at Nardo Land, and for their outstanding service to the community.

Guest speaker, Mickey Pierce, from InterConnection, spoke about their mission to provide access to technology to underserved communities. They accept computers along with other items and are located in Fremont.

Raffle prizes and Happy Dollars added a fun buzz to the room, as is the tradition at our meetings. After all, “Having Fun is Serious Business!”

Join us Tuesday morning, 7am at the Sammamish Grange.

Today’s meeting was jam packed. We covered a lot of topics and had some good laughs.

Allison, our newest member received her blue badge. Welcome Allison!

George talked about the Woodinville Heritage Society and one of the volunteers also shared her experience with the society. Everyone is encouraged to visit the museum to earn more about Woodinville and consider making a donation to help offset current budget concerns.

Wine grown from the foundation named Inclusion and a beautiful (spinning) medal was awarded to those that donated a minimum of $100 to join (Greater Grace Wine Appreciation Society (GGWAS). Dale talked about the grapes and the wine characteristics. Today several members will be harvesting grapes for the next batch of wine.

Our guest speaker today was Judy Beto who talked about kidney health and the importance of water. She made it rather entertaining as well as informative. Remember to drink your water!

Join us next week for more fun and socialization.
