Time to Pass the Gavel

Time to Pass the Gavel or Rotating the Wheels to begin the next Rotary year.  Jesse Tam, Dragon Fest as part of Seafair celebration was held last weekend at the Seattle Chinatown International District. The festivities on July 16 - 17 included the Chinese Drill Team, music, lion and dragon dance, food vendors, display tables, games, bouncy toys and activities for families and all ages.

This year the Seattle International District Club set up a table to share their Rotary stories in the community, vocational services and various international projects. The weather was perfect for the outdoor gathering with volunteers and an opportunity to reconnect.  If you are interested in hearing more about the organization, club meetings are held every Thursday from 11:30 to 12:30 in the International District.  It's a diverse group of members with an interesting history and stories.

Come visit and learn how Rotary began with projects for youth, student exchange, volunteer opportunities and giving back to our local communities.  Pass the Gavel to our next group of leaders with more adventures and stories to come.
