Where We Connect for Good
Of the thousands of Rotary clubs in the world today, Seattle was the fourth club established in 1909. It’s a legacy that our business and community leaders take seriously, gathering weekly to manifest the Rotarian ideals of fellowship and Service Above Self. As one of the world’s largest and most inclusive Rotary clubs, we can and do make big things happen in our local and global communities. We believe there is beauty and strength in diversity and actively cultivate and celebrate this within our club. Learn more about our commitment to social justice on our About Us page.
Over the decades, the Rotary Club of Seattle has provided a forum for prominent people from business, civic, and academia in the United States and around the world. The best way to learn more about our club and the work we do is to experience this first hand. If you would like to attend a lunch meeting and learn more about Seattle 4, please fill out our Membership Inquiry Form, or contact our Membership & Communications Manager, Fiona Ronyai at Fiona@seattlerotary.org. We meet every Wedn esday at noon and welcome you to join us!
The State of Play: Youth and Physical Activity
Mar 10, 2021 12:00 PM
Online Program
Too many young people in King County – particularly in communities of color – face barriers to physical activity even in a region famous for outdoor recreation, a study conducted by the University of Washington’s Center for Leadership in Athletics in partnership with King County Parks and the Aspen Institute found. The King County Play Equity Coalition was established to implement the report's recommendations and includes local professional sports teams and community-based organizations. Join us for a discussion with Julie McCleery and Bookie Gates as we learn about the coalition's work to increase rates of King County youth meeting the CDC's physical activity guidelines and ensure all youth have access to the social, emotional, academic, and physical benefits of movement through sports, play, and outdoor recreation. Bookie Gates is a former WSU baseball player and chair of the King County Play Equity Coalition. Julie McCleery is the Director of Research-Practice Partnerships at the UW Center for Leadership.in Athletics.
