The University Sunrise Rotary Club hosted an event on April 5, 2014 at the The Mountaineers Club featuring products from 30 new wineries, breweries and distilleries, and great food from 4 food trucks. The event sold out.
All proceeds from the event will go to the University District Food Bank’s Packs For Kids Program. The Packs Program provides food over weekends and school breaks to children on the free lunch program at 6 schools in North Seattle. Hungry kids don’t learn as well; the Packs Program provides the necessary nutritional supplement these children need. The funds we raise will help support the current program as well as expand it to other schools and children.
Special thanks go to Nancy Bolin and Mike Madden (Organizers Extraordinaire), and all club members who supported and worked on the project.
University of Washington’s Rotaract Club, sponsored by University Sunrise Rotary, held their annual dinner where many Rotarians joined the younger Rotaractors in a little fundraising, food, awards, and scholarship announcements. The money raised from the dinner helps fund the scholarships that were announced which allow Rotaract members to travel internationally and complete service projects, bolstering their professional experience and giving them an in-depth view from another part of the world. The food, of course, bolsters everyone’s waistlines.
The University Sunrise Rotary Club and its twin club, the Rotary Club of João Pessoa, Brazil sponsored a special Christmas Party for the children of the special needs center.
