The Bylaws of The Rotary Club of Seattle state the “Annual Meeting”, in which the election of officers and directors shall take place, shall be held on the first regularly scheduled meeting held in December. This year, with the Board’s approval, the Annual Meeting has been moved to the first regularly scheduled meeting held in February. The names of candidates nominated shall be announced to the Club in writing two weeks prior to the date of the election.

The Annual Meeting this year will be held on February 1st, the first regular meeting in February. 

The Art Committee is pleased to be able to offer limited discounted tickets to three showings of A Woman of No Importance at Taproot Theatre on Friday, Feb 3 at 8pm; Friday, Feb 10 at 8pm; and Saturday, Feb 18 at 2pm.  This comedic classic from Oscar Wilde features glittering banter, charm and wit within the beloved Taproot Theater.  We only have six seats reserved per performance, so it is first come, first served.  To reserve a spot, contact Janice Winemiller HERE.
