End of Summer Barbecue — September 19
Bill Grimes, Fellowship Committee
Nancy Pasternak, Facilities

Bellevue Rotarians and their families are invited to participate in one of the last flings for this summer! A delicious barbecue will be catered by Carolina Smoke (whose fare we have enjoyed the past two years). There will also be lots of fun and games for the kids, as well as for "the kids at heart." This is a great opportunity for fellowship and getting to know our red badge members better.

The event is planned for Sunday, September 19th, from 3:00-7:00 pm, right on beautiful Puget Sound. We have reserved the private Blue Ridge Park, including the cabana.

Remember to bring equipment for outdoor games and relays such as gunny sacks, baseball equipment, soccer balls, and games of your own creation.

Cost is approximately $20 to $25 per adult and about half for children under 10.

RSVP by September 12 to Bill Grimes with the number of adults and children (PH 425‑785‑1236).

Let's enjoy this fun event!

Fellowship Event: "The Full Monty"

Your Fellowship Committee is putting together an evening of fun and fellowship on Wednesday, October 6, which will include an 8:00 pm show at the Village Theater in Issaquah preceded by, for those who want to attend, a dinner at a local restaurant. The discounted show tickets will be about $50.00, and the restaurant cost is yet to be determined.

Sign-up sheets will be available on the tables during the next meeting, or you can email Chris Porter directly if you interested in participating in this event. Please state whether you are interested in both the show and dinner or the show only.

We need to commit to the tickets in the near future to ensure good seating.

Feel-Good Musical Comedy Based on the internationally acclaimed film, this grin‑and‑bare‑it comedy tells the story of six average-looking, unemployed steelworkers on the verge of a bold plan to get themselves out of debt, and make amends with those they love. Pushing through fears, building self-esteem, and rediscovering the importance of friendship and family, The Full Monty has great heart. Nominated for nine Tony Awards including Best Original Score, this is a feel-good musical with an edgy yet delightfully wicked sensibility.
