Howard Lincoln
Chairman & CEO, Seattle Mariners
A key player in the formation of the ownership group that saved the Seattle Mariners in 1992, Howard Lincoln was named chairman and chief executive officer on September 27, 1999.
Mr. Lincoln retired from his position as chairman of Nintendo of America, Inc., to devote his full efforts to the Mariners on February 14, 2000. He joined Nintendo as its senior vice president and general counsel in January 1983. In February 1994, he was elected to the board of Nintendo of America, Inc., and appointed chairman of the company.
Philanthropy plays an important role in Mr. Lincoln’s life. In addition to his strong support of the Mariners Care Foundation, he is a trustee and former chairman of the Children’s Hospital Foundation. He was the 2003-2004 Campaign Chair of the United Way of King County. He is also a member of The Washington Roundtable and Board of Trustees of Western Washington University and serves on the boards of ArtsFund and the Bellevue Boys & Girls Club.
Mr. Lincoln is a graduate of the University of California of Berkeley, and holds a law degree from Boalt Hall, the University of California School of Law. Following graduation from law school, Lincoln served as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps from 1966 to 1970. He practiced law in Seattle from 1970 to 1982.
Lincoln lives on Mercer Island with his wife Grace. Their son Brad and his wife Kim have two young sons, Ethan and Benjamin.
Keep looking for the cowbell on your table (there are 5 of them) to bump others' fines, and remember to bring your ticket stubs from arts attendance — museums, theatres, music, etc. — as putting one in the basket is allowed in lieu of a fine.

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
.
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)
