Rotary

Good Morning Hugs for all from Greeter Mayor Jarvis kicked off our meeting. We are pleased to welcome new Woodinville Rotarian Marshall Moon and his lovely wife Dr. Marilyn Ward to the club. Looking forward to serving with you!

Guest Speaker and Seattle #4 Rotarian David Endicott from Music4Life announced that this wonderful music program will be launched in the Northshore School District.

The Mission of Music4Life is to provide musical instruments to participating schools and programs for students in need. Music4Life provides new and used musical instruments to Seattle area children through elementary school music programs. We purchase supplies, maintenance, and repair instruments to maximize the opportunity for music education in our schools. We do this because research shows that children who participate in music education are more likely to excel in other academic areas. Learn more about Music4Life.

Hopefully Music4Life can make a connection with another local organization, RawkBox which is a Seattle-based nonprofit run by volunteers who repair instruments for music education nonprofits at low or no cost. Learn more about RawkBox.

The RAWK is our service: helping music organizations maintain, repair, and recycle instruments for students. The BOX is our set of wheels: we drive our mobile repair vehicle to schools, camps, events, and other music-education facilities to repair and refurbish instruments on site. It’s our delivery truck that serves up fine-tuned RAWK.

Special shoutout to Nancy Balin, from the Jaimeson Jones Memorial Scholarship, for her donation of 2 homemade pies that were auctioned off this morning. Glad to have you!
