Calling All Bellevue Rotary Photogs!
Leslie Lloyd
We’re taking extra effort to document our activities for the coming year – and for posterity!
Please submit your photos from fellowship or service activities, such as Camp Goodtimes, President’s Celebration, Rotary First Harvest, Fireside, golf outings – any and all events of the Bellevue Rotary Club. We will use them for the District Assembly in Portland next year, and they will also be preserved for all time by our resident historian, Stu Vander Hoek.
It’s simple: all you have to do is email your digital images to:
Be sure to include the names of all the people in each photo.
If you’d prefer, you can copy your photos to a CD or thumb drive and give them to Leslie Lloyd at a Rotary meeting.
With your help, the BRC will have a rich display of club activities for next year’s conference – and for all time.
This year’s Sergeant at Arms is taking a cue from one of the most popular Saturday Night Live skits of all time: Christopher Walken and Will Farrell, respectively, demanding and delivering “More cowbell!” So, when you see a fellow club member’s name in a publication or doing something that’s worthy of note, think “That’s worth 'more cowbell' for Rotary!” and inform the Sergeant at Arms.
Fellowship Opportunity: Wicked!
Join us at the Paramount Theater on October 1, at 7:30 PM, for "Wicked." We have excellent seats in the Loge, section A, rows A, B & C. Event price is $164 per person, which includes the pre-function.
Please contact Lynn Jones as soon as possible if you are interested in purchasing tickets.

Back by “Popular” Demand. The New York Times calls WICKED “Broadway’s biggest blockbuster,” and when it first played in Seattle in 2006, it broke box office records and sold out in record time. Since its Broadway debut five years ago, it has won 20 major awards, including a Grammy and three Tony Awards, WICKED “is a phenomenon that keeps growing” (LA Times). Long before that girl from Kansas arrives in Munchkinland, two girls meet in the land of Oz. One – born with emerald green skin – is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How these two grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch makes for “the most complete and completely satisfying new musical in a long time.” (USA Today)
