It was a busy affair, the joint evening meeting of Kingston North Kitsap’s Noon Rotary Club and Kingston North Kitsap’s Satellite Club, Wed, Oct 20, at Village Green Community Center.True to the Board’s recent decision to hold one joint evening meeting monthly, this one was rife with updates, presentations, social time, fun and food. The room was full.  One could not possibly come away from the get together without being impressed by all the projects and activities this Club has going on.  How it cares for its community.  

    At the top of the agenda was presentation of Paul Harris Fellow Awards to Dr. Brad Anderson and his wife, Theresa “for going above and beyond, doing good in our community during the Covid pandemic.”  Here Rotarians De’ MacKinnon and Doug Hallock present the awards.  

    Harris and three of his associates founded Rotary in Chicago in 1905.  

    Activities and projects.  President Chris Gilbreath reported Kingston North Kitsap Rotary Club will be joining other Kitsap Rotary Clubs to work with Olympic College on internships.  Satellite Club President David Winn reminded Rotarians of the online Fall Food Drive, on behalf of ShareNet, Oct 19-31.  Go to: charityauction.bid/sharenetfundraiser.  Winn also noted the Satellite Club has set a goal to triple the number of holiday cards it delivers to elderly and emergency youth services homes this holiday season.  In 2020, the Club delivered 1300 cards.  President Chris reminded members of the Pints for Polio event at Western Red Brewery in Poulsbo, Mon, Oct 25, 5p—8p.  And he commented on Broadway Night at Kingston’s Firehouse Theater, a food drive and fun-raiser in partnership with Kiwanis and the Kingston Chamber.        

Alice Amas updated members on the Club’s Kitsap-Olympic Ale Trail activities in October, where the primary emphasis will on Trail Partners (establishments).

Finally, Kris Libby noted Christmas wreaths will be going up in Kingston Nov 27.  

    Whew!  What a meeting!  What a Club!
