MEETING REPORT
Seattle 4 Rotary Meeting on August 24th
President Beth Knox called Seattle Rotary Club #4 to order at 12:30 pm Wednesday, August 24, 2022.  The meeting was held via Zoom.  President Beth first acknowledged all indigenous people who were the original settlers.  She reminded Rotarians that Seattle Rotary is the 4th oldest Rotary Club in the world and the largest in our region.
 
President Beth introduced Rabbi Daniel Weiner with the Inspiration of the Day.  Rabbi Weiner said awareness is the key to understanding other people and their circumstances: awareness to taking care of people less fortunate; awareness to responding to needs unmet; and awareness to seek out those who need the most help.  May it be so.
 
President Beth asked Mary Goldie to introduce visiting Rotarians and guests.
