Swing for Rotary Golf Tournament

Sandwiched between the PGA Tour Championship in Kiawah Island in May, and The Open in Northern Ireland in July, golf enthusiasts will find the 14th Annual Swing for Rotary Golf Tournament in Kingston, Jun 18.  At White Horse Golf Club.  There may be fewer television cameras, and crowds less threatening, but the golf will be a notch down.  And the fun will be a notch up.  

Jump off Zoom, and jump on a great golf course on a Friday afternoon.  Unlike past Annual Rotary Tournaments, this one is straight ahead golf. No dinner.  No auction.  Have some fun, collect cash for your hole in one, or putting contest win.  Enjoy a quick lunch before your tee time, and unwind afterwards with libations and awards on the beautiful White Horse deck overlooking the 18th green.  

Registration will open at 11a, with a shotgun start at 1p.  Golfers of all skill levels are invited.  This is not exactly a “hit-and-giggle” event, but it is close.  Rotarians like to have fun.  Put a group together.  Early registration is $396 for a foursome.  $198 for a twosome.  Register now at:  14th-annual-swing-for-rotary-golf-tournament.perfectgolfevent.com.  

Major and Corporate sponsorships, tee sponsorships,19th Hole, and other sponsorships are still available as of this writing in Mid-May.  See the website for more information.  We thank sponsors to date, including: Haselwood Auto Group - Hole-in-One; Land Title Company - Practice Green; The Point Casino and Hotel - Putting Contest; Kitsap Credit Union - Driving Range; Columbia Bank - Beverage Cart.  

 Due to Covid we were not able to do this last year.  Covid took away our took-for-granted.  So, let’s do this. Sign up a group today. Click the link below.

Kingston Ale House Named Business of the Year

    The Kingston Ale House has been named “Business of the Year” by the Kingston North Kitsap Rotary Club.  Owner Kim Francisco-Clark gathered her staff in March, 2020, when  Covid’s impact in the community became clear.  She challenged them to figure out a way to help.  Their answer was to feed kids in need.  And that is what the Kingston Ale House did, despite operating only takeout and all the challenges of Covid, the Ale House served North Kitsap Kids who experienced food insecurity as a result of the pandemic.

    At the May 26 gathering on the deck of the Ale House to present the award, Francisco-Clark thanked the community for making she and her husband, Tony, feel at home in Kingston.    “We have been here seven years.  We have been so embraced by the community.  It feels like home.”  She immediately went inside the restaurant to share the news with her staff.

Order Bombers Target Sourdough Willys Next

    Another successful Kingston Order Bombers mission is in the books.  Here is the “after-action report” from the owners of Argensal:

    Dear Mr. Gilbreath,

We want to say thank you so much to the Kingston Rotary Club and to you for sending so many new customers our way. We received a total of 17 orders today, 9 of which mentioned being part of the order bombers so more than half of our orders from today came from you! The average order was $25 so we made a nice little bit of money during today’s dinner service.

    Sincerely,

    Maria and Sabrina

 

    Rotarians are making a difference in our community.  The next stop on the Order Bombing flight is Sourdough Willys Pizzeria, hard by Mike Wallace Park and WSF ticket booths.

    Opening a business during the explosion of Covid-19 was not in their business plan for the Kingston location.  However, that is what they did, opening June 9, 2020.  Sourdough Willys features Sicilian, New York, and Detroit style pizzas. “Great pizza is about flavor and, of course, the crust.  For us, both of those things begin with our 120-year-old sourdough starter.  Our sourdough starter is the oldest in commercial use in the Pacific Northwest.”

    On almost their first anniversary, Kingston Order Bombers will target Sourdough Willys Thursday, June 3, 2021, 2:30-7:30p.  Takeout is available, as well as sidewalk seating. And places in the park. Order online at:  sourdoughwillys.com.  Mission lead on this event is Emily Froula:  em.froula@gmail.com. Please let her know you are in on the action. In addition to your favorite slice of heaven you can order soft drinks, beer, wine, and even ice cream to top it all off.
