Bloodworks Northwest
Call for Donors

Our community’s blood supply is at emergency levels right now and we need more help as soon as possible. Snowy conditions have caused the cancellation of drives and appointments resulting in a dangerously low inventory dip. And due to a national shortage, chances of getting relief from other parts of the country are slim.
 
If you’re eligible to donate blood, your impact will be immense. You can also help by sharing our social media messages on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or LinkedIn and encouraging those in your personal friends, family, and social circles to donate.
 
We have a significant need for all blood types, especially today through Sunday as well as next week. Make your appointment by clicking the link below, or text bloodapp to 91985, or contact 800-398-7888. (Please check with your supervisor before donating during a shift.)
 
THANK YOU for saving lives in our community!

Now Is a Great Time to Join Seattle 4 Rotary! 

Now through Valentine's Day, the club is offering a Sweetheart of a Deal. Prospective members can join Seattle 4 Rotary for an initiation fee of just $100. That's a savings of $350 for an individual member!

For more information about membership, follow the link below or email Caroline at Caroline@SeattleRotary.org.

Share Rotary!

Do you know someone who you think would be a great addition to our club?  Sharing Rotary is easy and prospective members receive a complimentary lunch for their first visit! Here’s what to do:

Step 1  Invite someone to a lunch meeting and decide on a date.  You can find a list of our future speakers on our website at:
 
 
Step 2  Email Caroline at Caroline@SeattleRotary.org and let her know your selected date, name of your guest, their company or organization, and their email.  The office will create a name badge for your guest and a packet of information about membership that they can collect at check-in.
 
Step 3  Meet your guest at the meeting and enjoy the program.  If you are late or can’t make the meeting, don’t worry!  Someone from our membership team will host your guest and take good care of them.
 
Step 4  After the meeting, we will follow up with your guest and invite them to future meetings.  We also encourage you to connect with them to answer questions and offer to act as their sponsor.
 
Our members are our greatest asset.  We appreciate your help in Sharing Rotary and keeping our club strong and vibrant!
 

If You Haven't Made Your Annual Gifts to Rotary, Please Consider Making Your Gifts Today

As Rotarians, we are leaders connecting for extraordinary good –both in our community and around the world.  Together we are eradicating polio and malaria, bringing fresh water to rural villages worldwide to stop the spread of disease, and helping our neighbors in need with housing, healthy foods, and educational opportunities.
 
Once a year we ask you to fulfill your membership obligations and take action by making two gifts that will transform our world.  One is to the Seattle Rotary Service Foundation (SRSF).  The other is to The Rotary Foundation (TRF).  Thank you for taking action now to help our club have a powerful and positive impact on our world.
