Rotary Club 21, Spokane, Washington

Since 1911, Spokane's Rotary Club 21 has advanced the ideals of service, understanding, goodwill, and peace, locally and internationally, through our 340+ business and civic leaders. Please accept our invitation to learn more about Club 21.

Dalai Lama Exploration Update
You may have heard the Buddhist nun speak here in October, about the 4-way Test and Buddhist practices of Compassion. She invited Rotary 21 to join her for an invitation to the Dalai Lama to visit Spokane. In December, the Club 21 Board agreed to that exploration.

Steve Schneider, Larry Ellingson, and a dozen others are now an ad hoc committee working on the design. We've learned the process of issuing an invitation to the Dalai Lama, the content of his previous visits to the US, and the necessity of competing with other cities for his interest.

Time to fill up the tank.

Rotary is a wonderful vehicle for service in our community and around the globe. But without our annual donations to Rotary Community Service, (RCS) Inc., there is no fuel in the tank to power our service projects.

Your RCS, Inc., donation funds the work of our Committees - Youth Service, Disabilities, Civic Affairs, International Service and Vocational Service.

Every time a Vocational Service Student is introduced, and I hear the incredible obstacles he or she has overcome to stay in school, I count my blessings and feel good about my RCS, Inc., contribution.

When I listen to the Rotary Minute or read about the tremendous work done by our committees in seeking out the community's greatest needs, stretching dollars and creating partnerships, I am inspired, proud to be a Rotarian, and certain that my RCS, Inc., donation is being used wisely.

Please make your pledge or donation to RCS, Inc., today. Thank you for all that you do and for living out "Service Above Self". President Debbie
