Days for Girls

Posted by Ron Carter

The typical young woman in South Africa will spend an average of 60 days a year managing her menstrual cycle. While doing so, most are sheltering in, missing valuable time at work or school, falling behind. This is the information shared with Kingston North Kitsap Rotarians at their final meeting of the year, December 19.

The History of Food 4 Kids

Pictured: Stan Mack (Rotarian and Board Member for Kingston Cares)

In 2008, individuals from Kingston Rotary, Kiwanis, Sharenet, Kingston Food Bank and Wolfle Elementary met at Wolfle Elementary School to address the fact that many of the children on the National Food Program had no access to a food program during the summer months.

Scholarship Assistance

Dear Rotarians,

With the leadership of our newly appointed District Scholarship Chair, Harry Panjer (Comox Rotary Club), we are excited to ask for your assistance in finding suitable candidates who would potentially qualify as Ambassadorial and Peace Scholars. Rotary District 5020 has funds to provide a post-graduate scholarship to an individual who is planning to purse graduate studies in 2019-20 in an area related to the goals of Rotary. The scholarship is for US$ 15,000 and can only be used in a country other than Canada and the USA.

Fundraising, Recycling and Wine! Oh My!

Fundraising for Coffee Oasis.

Diane Tandy (l) and Tony Fyrqvist (r)

At our Wednesday Club meeting, we were rewarded by a plentitude of speakers. Our primary speakers were Diane Tandy and Tony Fyrqvist, who are in the process of forming a fundraising event to benefit the completion of the Kingston Coffee Oasis. They reminded us of Coffee Oasis's primary mission to serve homeless and at-risk youth. Their mission statement describes it well – “Changing the World for Homeless Youth in One Community After Another.” Coffee Oasis facilities now exist in Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo.
