Lessons From 2020: Where Do We Go From Here?
When we return to our Rotary meetings on January 6, the year 2020 will be in our rearview mirror. Processing all that took place is a critical step in making the most of the year ahead.
Ed Taylor, Vice Provost and Dean of Undergraduate Academic Affairs at the University of Washington, was the lead instructor for 2020: The Course which engaged students in a series of talks, lectures, and dialogues with over 20 faculty members and alumni from across the University of Washington campuses and community. Faculty and community leaders came together to teach lessons learned from 2020 and examine what national thought leaders were doing to meet the imperatives of 2020 through their research, scholarship, and service. Further, students documented their own experiences to create a time capsule for future generations of UW teachers and learners.
What lessons did students learn? What will they remember? What do these lessons mean for future learners? Why does it all matter? Join us for what promises to be a fascinating look at a momentous year.
The Downtown Seattle Association (DSA) invites you to take part in Holiday Lights and Delights presented by Amazon, where a sleigh’s worth of new socially distanced experiences await you in downtown. Dazzling holiday-themed light sculptures have come to life in Westlake Park, with more than 80,000 lights shining from larger-than-life installations of presents, arches, trees, and more. New this year, DSA has brought an augmented reality adventure to designated spots throughout parks, sidewalks, and plazas in the downtown Seattle retail core.

Seattle 4 Rotarians! Our community needs us! The blood supply in Seattle has developed into a major public health crisis. Sanitation protocols have shut down bloodmobiles which historically have provided 60% of our region’s blood supply while the demand for blood has risen 8% in just the last month. COVID projections indicate the supply/demand picture will only darken. Your Board of Directors is encouraging us to respond and has approved four quarterly blood drives to take place over the coming year with the first drive happening now!
The featured donation location for this launch is the Pop Up at Mariners T-Mobile Parkwhich runs through January 2nd. Mariners are generously giving away fun thank you gifts to donors, such as bobbleheads and hats. To register for this event,click here.
So what incentives are we offering? The opportunity to save lives! Plain and simple. As a special thank you for your donation, Paul Harris Fellowship points will be awarded to all participating Seattle 4 Rotary members; enough that four donations during the year will earn members a full Paul Harris Fellowship! For details, contact our club’s Bloodworks Liaison, Sten Crissey, atstencrissey@gmail.com.
The need cannot be overstated. Understanding the urgency, our District Governor, Cathy Gibson, has called for every club in our district to participate and has announced a competition. Seattle 4 has accepted the challenge and will compete against seven Rotary teams, each team will be roughly the size of Seattle 4’s total membership. To register and record your participation:
