Luscious PearsFor $10 you can buy a 12-pound box of Bartlett pears, straight from Wenatchee, by way of Rotary First Harvest. Last year's pears were just as good as Harry and David's, at a fraction of the cost.  

Orders are due by September 30. Pears will be available for pick-up at Rotary First Harvest, 3200 1st Ave S, Seattle, on October 7 and 8, from 10:30AM‑1:30PM.  

Please contact Jacki Lorenz at Rotary First Harvest (Ph 206‑236‑0357).

GSE Opportunity

Do you know of any non-Rotarian young professionals who’d be great for GSE in early 2010?

District 5030 is looking for 4-5 young professionals (ages 25-40) currently not in Rotary who are interested in developing professional and leadership skills during a month-long Group Study Exchange to Bolivia. Anticipated dates are April 11-May 9, 2010. All costs are covered by Rotary. If you know of someone who would benefit from such an exchange have them check out gse.rotary5030.org. Applications are due October 12, 2009, and can be found at this website.

More cowbell for Rotary! 

More Cowbell for Rotary!

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. Click here to let your Sergeant at Arms know of a fellow Rotarian’s fineable antics.

Rotary Fall Golf Event, September 16We have reserved 32 spots for our Annual Fall Golf Fellowship on Wednesday, September 16, at the Bellevue Golf Club. The cost will be about $80.00 for carts, golf, prizes and a barbecue after the event.

We will again be playing a "Scramble," and our first tee time is 11:30 AM. We will fill the first 32 spots on a first come, first served basis.

Please contact Bad Hunt if you have any questions.

Calling All Bellevue Rotary Photogs!
Leslie Lloyd

Calling all BRC photographers!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:

photos@bellevuerotary.net

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

.
