It being the third Wednesday of the month, the Jan 19 meeting of the Kingston North Kitsap Rotary Club was in the evening, it hinged on being a social event, and it was a joint meeting of the Satellite Club and the Noon Club. Nonetheless, some items of business were discussed.
Rae Winn updated members on a conversation with Trevor Roth of Olympic College. The matter involved the Club's Vocational Scholarship, its difficulty finding scholarship applicants. Olympic College might be able to help with a joint scholarship under their Olympic Scholarship Foundation. Rotary would still be able to help in selecting the awardee, and the Club would still be able to award a separate vocational scholarship, as funds allow.
The other half of the Team Winn, David, updated members on plans to resume Kingston Order Bombing on a once-monthly basis. The first such bombing run will occur the week of Feb 21 at PuertoVallerta.
