How Will the Seahawks Perform This Season?
Steve Raible
"Voice of the Seahawks," Steve Raible, will share his thoughts about the upcoming Seahawks' season. Learn what Steve thinks our team's prospects are for a winning year as new recruits and coaching staff are integrated into the Seahawks' game plans.
A longtime broadcaster and original Seattle Seahawk, Steve has been a fixture in the Pacific Northwest for almost half a century. Raible entered broadcasting in 1982 following a six-year career as a wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks. A second-round draft choice of the expansion franchise in 1976, Raible came to Seattle after graduating from Georgia Tech.
Steve has called the biggest games in Seahawk history, including the Super Bowl 48 championship over the Denver Broncos.
Join Steve for an entertaining program.
EACH ONE, BRING ONE

President Jimmy rang the bell promptly at 12:30 in the Westin Hotel’s Cascade Ballroom, followed by the day’s anthem, America the Beautiful, led by Cynthia Chirot accompanied by Burr Stewart. Bill Center delivered the day’s inspiration that took the form of an update about past president Todd Summerfelt’s battle against cancer. “Cancer is an insidious disease inflicting untold anguish,” Bill said, “as Todd has been grappling with cancer since the first of the year but doing better than expected. "
President Jimmy asked past president and KING-TV anchor Mark Wright to introduce and interview the day’s featured speaker, Paul Shoemaker, founding president of Social Venture Partners International (SVPI) (www.socialventurepartners.org), and one of the Northwest’s leading experts on activating social change agents, and how individuals can be the most effective. His new book, Taking Charge of Change: How Rebuilders Solve Hard Problems(www.paulshoemaker.org/taking-charge-of-change) describes how the social, economic, and health challenges facing America in the 2020s are radically different than those we faced even one generation ago.

Want to HELP future leaders prepare for post-secondary education?
UNCF in partnership with Seattle 4 Rotary presents the Portfolio Project. The Portfolio Project is a free 11-week bridge to success program targeted to underrepresented emerging scholars in their Junior and Senior years of High School. The mission of the Portfolio Project is to equip students across Washington and Oregon State with the resources needed to reach their aspirations of post-secondary education.
As a mentor, you will inspire, guide, and motivate, your student while they navigate through the daunting college and scholarship application process.
This year we’ve implemented the Support Squad. This cohort allows two Rotarian mentors for each group of portfolio project students. This provides a team approach for mentors and students. It allows the pairing of mentors to share the time commitment. For example, if a mentor has a prior commitment on a Portfolio Project Saturday.
These events are a great way to meet fellow Rotarians safely in an outdoor environment. The walks are free and the dinner is optional.
You won't want to miss this one! Our fellow Rotarian Assunta Ng, publisher of the Northwest Asian Weekly, will provide a captivating tour chronicling the struggles, transformation, growth, and prospering of the International District. She will show us where Chinatown, Japan Town, and Little Saigon are. We will start the tour at TP Tea Washington (679 South King Street, Seattle, WA 98104) where you will enjoy some Boba Tea. Our tour will include a visit to the Northwest Asian Weekly Building (formerly housing the iconic Kokusai Theater), the historic Panama Hotel, Danny Woo Garden, the 113-year-old Maneki Restaurant, the oldest Japanese Restaurant in the United States, Wing Luke Museum, Uwajimaya Asian Supermarket ending at Tai Tung (655 South King Street, Seattle, WA 98104) with a classic dinner designed by Assunta at a cost of $20. Parking will be provided nearby.
As we begin to emerge from the effects of the COVID19 pandemic, we are excited to announce our upcoming Rotary District 5030 Conference to be held in Coeur d’Alene, ID to be held on the weekend of October 1-3, 2021.
