Assunta Ng Panel Discussion
The power of Asian American vote
Why do Asian American voices count? Though Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are one of U.S. fastest-growing minorities and have been successful in many fields including Hollywood lately, most would have overlooked the rise of Asian Americans in political power. Here is a distinguished panel which explains the new and complex trends and dynamics of the forces at play in the Asian community.
Special Short Program
22 of our fellow rotarians from Sequim at the Sunrise rotary will be joining us along with 20 of their Interact Club students to share their incredible story about how they caught the attention of George Clooney – the director of the soon to be released ‘Boys in the Boat’ for a movie premier at their high school.
President Beth welcomed us on a beautiful spring Seattle day. Don Murphy and Jevon Powell on guitar led us in “The Seattle Song” (the bluest skies are in Seattle) by Perry Como was fitting! Trish Bostrom inspired and encouraged us to “be an instrument of peace” as our late member and past president Todd Summerfelt used to do by reading the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi.
