Diplomacy Day with Caryl Stern, President & CEO of UNICEF USA
June 12 at Noon
The Sheraton, 1400 6th Ave.
Next week we’ll celebrate our Diplomats with a very special guest speaker. In addition to recognizing our local Consuls General and other dignitaries, we will hear from Caryl Stern, President & CEO of UNICEF USA.
Caryl will share how UNICEF, alongside Rotary International and other partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, works to reach every child with the polio vaccine. She will describe the journey from UNICEF’s Supply Division to some of the most remote communities on Earth, emphasizing the invaluable contribution from the frontline workers whose community engagement makes polio eradication possible.
She will also offer remarks on the millions of uprooted children around the world and what UNICEF is doing to ensure every child is protected, cared for, and has the support needed to thrive.
Jimmy Collins introduced our main speaker, Lieutenant General Gary Volesky, and pointed out that the United States Army celebrates its 244th birthday this year. He also invited members to join the Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) Freedom Feston the 4th of July. RSVP to Jimmy if you'd like to attend.
Lt. Gen. Volesky opened by placing JBLM in perspective for the state of Washington. It is the second largest employer in the state and provides jobs for 50,000 people. In a year, JBLM contributes nearly eight billion dollars to the Washington State economy.
In the game of life, some people can get dealt a very difficult hand. How they let that, or don’t let that, dictate their life or their future and how they take advantage of new cards and new opportunities, tells you a lot about that person.
8:30-11:00 am @ Northwest Harvest Warehouse, 22220 68th Ave. S., Kent
Join Rotarians and Rotaractors from around the district for a morning of hands-on service. You'll be helping to pack some of the millions of pounds of healthy fruits and vegetables RFH provides every year for families and individuals in need.
5:00-7:00 pm @ the Rotary Support Center for Families, 1900 Rainier Ave. S.
Ten years ago we helped Wellspring build a home: The Rotary Support Center for Families. Join us on June 13 for an open house where we will celebrate the impact of your generosity.
5:30-8:15 pm @ the Queen City Yacht Club, 2608 Boyer Ave. E.
Join fellow Rotarians and friends for the 50th Annual Seattle Rotary Mariners President’s Party on June 27 at the Queen City Yacht Club. The President’s Party will
recognize President Cindy for her leadership and insightful end-of-meeting proverbs.
The Mariners have reserved the first pitch for Rotary International VP John Matthews on a night with fireworks to join Rotary's fight to end polio. A portion of proceeds from discounted tickets will benefit Rotary's PolioPlus campaign. See the flyer for more information. Tickets can be purchased at mariners.com/polio using the promo code POLIO.
Celebrate the start of the new year with Seattle City Rotaract, a young professionals club sponsored by Seattle #4. You'll have the opportunity to meet the members, hear more about what they've accomplished this year, and learn about their plans for 2019-2020 at this casual rooftop barbecue. Rotarians, friends, family, and anyone interested in learning more about the club are welcome to attend. Tickets are $20 and include food and drinks.
