As people who come to Rotary from and to serve in our community, we cannot but recognize and empathize with those who have experienced the pain of intolerance and injustice. As a part of the greater Kirkland community for over 80 years, we would not be true to our mission and our values without clearly and emphatically affirming our endorsement of the statement recently issued by Rotary International:
What do Kirkland’s Dakshin Indian Bistro, Gunnar Nordstrom Gallery, Casa Ricardo’s, Claire’s Nails, and Bombaii Hair Cutters all have in common? They’re all recipients of grants from the Kirkland Small Business Relief Fund, one of the hometown investment priorities of Kirkland’s Rotary Clubs.
The Rotary Club of Kirkland is pleased to announce the award of twelve scholarships to students attending Emerson High School, Juanita High School, Lake Washington High School, and Lake Washington Institute of Technology. The scholarships awards, totaling $14,000 were either $1,000 or $1,500.
The Rotary Club of Kirkland is proud to announce two recipients of the club’s Outstanding Educator Award for 2020. Tiffany Chow is an English Language teacher at Juanita High School, and Justin Hopkins is an AVID teacher and site coordinator at Lake Washington High School.
