Rotary Holiday Fund
Julie Arnevick

Bellevue Rotary ClubThe Overlake Service League is partnering with us again this year to provide food and presents over the holidays for over 200 needy families.  The service league provides over 125 volunteers, and the Bellevue Christian Church donates space to make this possible.

Marilyn Herzberg from the Overlake Service League will join us this week for our Rotary Holiday Fund Kick-Off. Last year, Rotarians averaged $112/person. Our goal this year is to have 100% participation. Give what you can. Any gift is greatly appreciated.  Make your donations today and let's get into the holiday spirit early.

Holiday Bell Ringing

by Liz Swanson

The Holiday Season has arrived ... and so has Bell Ringing, this Saturday and Sunday, December 5 and 6, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. each day, outside of Nordstrom in Bellevue Square. This is a great, short one-hour activity and probably could be combined with a little shopping, proving to be both uplifting and time efficient in the busy Holiday season.

The Bell Ringing registration page is located here. If you have any questions, please contact Liz Swanson.

DIFFERENT LOCATION FOR
DECEMBER 15 MEETING
Invite Your Spouse or Partner!

          Bellevue Rotary will be relocating for a special Holiday Program on Tuesday, December 15. We'll be meeting at the newly expanded Hyatt Regency Bellevue this day only, in a larger-than-usual room, so we can host Rotarian spouses and partners.

Jot this change in location down on your calendar, and invite your spouse or partner to attend as your guest. RSVP your guest's name to Laurie Larson so we can get an accurate lunch count. Our program will feature holiday music, and parking will be validated.
