Issaquah Rotary

Please join us tomorrow evening for our final club meeting before the Turning of the Wheel celebration. (Remember, there will be no meeting next week, June 23rd).

We'll gather at 5:30 PM at Big Block Brewing, where we'll have the opportunity to hear from Mark Askins as he shares his Classification Talk. These presentations are always a great way to learn more about our fellow members, their backgrounds, and the experiences that have shaped their journeys.

We'll also welcome a special guest from the Mercer Island Rotary Club, Bob Olson, who will share information about their upcoming annual golf tournament.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

We excited to announce the upcoming 'Turning of the Wheel' Celebration on June 30th at 5:00 pm at Big Block Brewing. Club Co-Presidents Nadia and Brenda look forward to saying their farewells and inducting Claud Campbell as our new Rotary Club President along with her Board of Directors.

Please join us for a fun evening of festivities, highlights, good food hosted by La Malquerida, and delicious beverages from Big Block.

We had so much fun with fish hats and fish costumes last year, that we’re doing it again – wear a fish themed outfit to run in, and we’ll set a record for the most running fishes anywhere, ever!

Congratulations to Lars Hill, one of our 2026 scholarship winners! We are proud to present Lars with a little boost to their educational career, and here's what Lars has said in response: Hello! My name is Lars, and I am a 2026 graduate of Gibson Ek High School and a recent recipient of the Issaquah Rotary Scholarship. In the fall, I will be attending the University of Washington to study Marine Biology in the College of the Environment. I have also been a member of Issaquah Interact throughout all four years of high school, serving as the club’s co-president this year. This summer, I look forward to serving as a facilitator at RYLA (The Rotary Youth Leadership program). In college, I look forward to getting involved in research, underwater photography, Rotaract, and more! Thank you for all the opportunities Issaquah Rotary has provided to me throughout high school.
