Honor Flight

 The club recently sent funding to Inland Northwest Honor Flight to fund 12 Veterans to attend the October 13-14 Honor Flight, which will have approximately 90 Veterans.

Thank you, President Mobley and President Kelsey, for supporting Inland NW Honor Flight.  Well done to Kevin and Jim for the revolutionary thinking—very special and visionary.  Something to be elevated to other clubs!

84 Vietnam veterans and 1 Korean veteran had a special trip to Washington, DC, that included three women veterans.  Jim, Paul, and Shanna represented our club well and are to be commended!  A night of celebration.

The Wheel Turns Again: The Jones Family Rotary Table Returns to the Auction Block

Fellow Rotarians, warm up your typing fingers and practice your best poker face. No paddles, no auctioneer, no awkward eye contact across the room: just you, your inbox, and your generosity. The most storied piece of furniture in Spokane Rotary Club 21 history is up for grabs once more.

How It Works

Who may bid: This private auction is open exclusively to Rotary Club 21 members.

How to bid: This is a private bid, not a live bid at the table. Email your bid to Michael Church at michael.church@pierferd.com. Your bid stays sealed, so your rivals never see it coming.

Deadline: Submit your bid by October 30th (initial deadline).

How to win: The highest bid wins. We will announce the winning bid after bidding closes, so the suspense is part of the fun.

The prize: The table itself, plus bragging rights at every meeting until the next auction.

Where the money goes: Every dollar benefits RCS (Rotary Community Services), supporting those most in need in our community.

Happy Birthday to you!
