Ken Grant: 10 Steps to Servant Leadership
Now, more than ever, the world needs Servant Leaders --people who put their needs behind the needs of their teams. But how do you know if you are a servant leader? Is this an inherent skill set or a teachable one? We will learn more from our special guest speaker (and our club's Sergeant-at-Arms), Ken Grant, as he walks us through the 10 steps to becoming a true servant leader.
As a sought after brand strategist, Ken has made a career out of building and repositioning brands, keeping employees front and center to his clients' success. This promises to be an interesting and entertaining program.
Members Liam Li and Karl Ege Are Bringing Millions of Masks to Washington State for Our Healthcare Workers
This Wednesday, we heard from members, Liam Li and Karl Ege, about their amazing work to supply millions of masks to our state's health care workers. They also helped organize a nation-wide teleconference on Zoom between major medical centers throughout the country, representatives of CDC and other medical research institutions, and the doctors in Wuhan and Shanghai, China who were on the frontlines in bringing COVID-19 under control in China. The program lasted nearly 90 minutes and was described by the medical professionals here as “extraordinarily helpful.” Click HERE to view the video conference. Click HERE for more information and materials.
Mayor Jenny Durkan and Fire Chief Harold Scoggins Thank Seattle 4 Rotary for Our Donation of Masks to Our First Responders
Thanks to all of our members whose contributions allowed us to purchase 2,220 KN95 masks for our first responders. These were delivered to Fire Station 10 on Monday afternoon. Mayor Jenny Durkan and Fire Chief Harold Scoggins personally came out to thank our club with appropriate social distancing of course!! The delivery was covered on KING 5 News Monday evening.
Using her connections in China, Young Rotary Leader, Crysti Chen, was able to procure masks on behalf of the club that are currently nearly impossible to obtain. She also brought 1,000 extra masks as a personal donation to our firefighters for their families. You are truly a Person of Action who practices Service Above Self Crysti!!

HARVEST AGAINST HUNGER COVID-19 RESPONSE UPDATE
Harvest Against Hunger, a program of our Rotary district, is working with partners across Washington, including the Washington State Department of Agriculture, to develop plans and best practices for hunger relief efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. To learn more, visit the COVID-19 Resource Page on the Harvest Against Hunger website. Here is the latest:
HAH is coordinating delivery of surgical masks for volunteers and staff to use at food banks across Washington. Their initial order will include 12,000 masks.
Working with new partners in California, the organization is sourcing truckloads of fresh produce that are available as a result of the many restaurant closures in that state. The goal is to deliver 4-5 truckloads a week through the end of the month, and possibly longer.
HAH is expanding its King County Farmers Share and Farm to Food Pantry initiatives to provide additional early-season funding to farmers who have been impacted by market and restaurant closures.
The organization is tapping into its trucking donor network to help move additional loads of food between hunger relief partners across Washington.
Even though large-scale volunteer shifts have been cancelled at Northwest Harvest and Food Lifeline, local foodbanks still need volunteer help to serve an increasing number of clients - including many who are requesting food for the first time. If you are interested in volunteering at a local food bank, please visit the COVID-19 Resource Page to learn more and search for food banks near you.
The next time you’re at the grocery store stocking up your pantry, consider grabbing a few extra items to donate to Northwest Harvest. Find a list of their public drop sites HERE.
Are you a member and at-risk for the coronavirus and would like help with grocery shopping, picking up pet supplies, or anything else that could put you at risk? There are lots of Rotary members who want to help and keep you safe.
Complete the form request which has four questions:
Name
Phone number
What you need help with (i.e. groceries)
Your neighborhood (so volunteers can choose requests that are most convenient for them)

PHONING FOR FELLOWSHIP
Even though our meetings have moved online, individual connection with the wonderful members in our club is still important. To make that happen, Seattle 4 teams are picking up the phone, and calling members. So the next time your phone rings, don't be surprised it's a friendly Rotarian taking the opportunity to say hi and visit, (virtually). Contact member, Alicia Flatt, at aliciaflatt@gmail.com, for more information.
