At their Jul 21 meeting, Kingston North Kitsap Rotarians heard from Jennifer Strong and Erin Shannon, co-Presidents of Silverdale Rotary, about that Club’s Duck Race, Sunday, Jul 25. This is their annual major fundraiser, which, over the years, has raised $1.6m for community purposes in the Silverdale area. KNK Rotarians were “offered an opportunity” to purchase Ducks in the race. Twenty bucks. Five Ducks. Good luck.
Other meetings news and notes:
The Kingston North Kitsap Rotary Board has approved a plan to move one noon meeting a month to the evening. The first such evening event will be Aug 18.
Kingston North Kitsap Rotary’s Ale Trail will be part of the community Wine Walk, Aug 21, 11a-5p. Volunteers are needed. Contact Alice Amas.
Nancy Martin reported Pie in the Park is back. After a covid-19 rest year, Pies will be flying off the shelf Aug 12. Pie in the Park has become a favorite fund-raiser for Kingston’s Village Green Community Center over the years. Some years, proceeds have exceeded $50k, as community-spirited bidders set out to score Grandma’s favorite apple pie, or the exotic chocolate latte, whipped cream, banana pie. It is a fun evening, beginning about 5:30p, at Village Green Community Park. Pie in the Park is a free event (until you raise your bid number).
Rotarians brainstormed how the Club could improve its brand-building attire when they are in action in the community. Golf shirts. T-shirts, vests, etc. A group will be formed to execute on the ideas.
