Andy Alkin of Lake Washington High School | Rotary Student of the Month | Jan. 08, 2024 6:30 p.m. |
Andy Alkin is a senior at Lake Washington High School, and plans to major in economics in college so he can create new financial mechanisms and applications such as micro-loans and budget planning to help people, especially the underprivileged, to overcome financial challenges. Andy played Varsity Soccer all of his high school years, and plays in a band for which he writes original songs. Andy often volunteers in food drives, park cleanups, and youth camps. Andy’s family is from Ukraine, so when the war began he founded a non-profit, Youth Soccer for Peace. He mounted a "Soccer For Ukraine" campaign and hosted soccer bootcamps that are donation-based for local children and free for refugees. Earnings from the campaign are helping build a soccer field for an orphanage in Ukraine and helping local refugees.

Seth Muir of Sail Sand Point | Presenting the story of one of the largest sailing centers in the region | Jan. 08, 2024 6:40 p.m. |
Seth Muir is the executive director of Sail Sand Point (SSP), a non-profit community sailing center at Magnuson Park in Seattle, right across Lake Washington from Kirkland. SSP hosts over 16,000 people annually and has grown into one of the largest sailing centers in the region. Seth will introduce Rotarians to the SSP programs, highlight their recent successes, and describe their ambitious plans for the future.
Before joining SSP in 2019, Seth ran Salish Sea Expeditions, a Puget Sound marine science and sailing organization, and served as director of the San Francisco Maritime National Park Association's programs on ships, work shops, and submarines.
Seth promises the club an entertaining presentation without (too much) cursing or keel-hauling of anyone.

Mike Pellicciotti, Washington State Treasurer | The role of the state treasurer | Feb. 05, 2024 6:40 p.m. |
Mike Pellicciotti (Pelly-chotty) was elected Washington’s 24th State Treasurer in 2020. As Washington’s chief financial officer, Mike is dedicated to financial transparency, protecting Washington’s financial health, and advancing policies that best serve our state’s working families and retirees. Before becoming Treasurer, he served two terms in the Washington House of Representatives, where he served on House fiscal committees, including the Capital Budget Committee. In the legislature, Mike fought for more equitable and open government, passing laws to get “dark money” out of politics and requiring that the legislature provide its public records.
Before representing the 30th Legislative District of South King and North Pierce Counties, Mike was an assistant attorney general who managed a state unit that combatted economic fraud in Washington. He has a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, and he received his Master’s in Rural Development as a United States Fulbright Scholar, where he studied economic development. His Juris Doctor is from Gonzaga University and is a lifelong fan of Gonzaga Basketball.

Dr. Wen Chen of Caltech | Human rights movement in China | May 06, 2024 6:40 p.m. |
Since 2012, Dr. Wen Chen has given​ hundreds of presentations to community organizations about Chinese culture, history, and human rights. In this presntation, she'll tell the story of Chinese authorities arresting millions of citizens for their spiritual beliefs or political views. These prisoners of conscience have been tortured, forced into slave labor, and killed for their organs. While it takes several years in the U.S. to wait for matching organs, most Chinese hospitals promise to find donors within weeks. The Chinese police, legal, and military system collaborated to perform the state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting. Rotarians will also learn about the Chinese Communist Party’s infiltration into the U.S., the human rights movement in China, an innovation that allows people to bypass China's Internet blockade, and the trend of quitting the Chinese Communist Party.
Dr. Chen was born in China at the end of the Great Cultural Revolution. Being victims of the horrific atrocity that killed two million intellectuals and destroyed traditional Chinese culture, Wen's parents had mixed feelings about her education. Despite their discouragement, Wen eventually won a national prize at a science competition when she was 16. She was accepted into a top university for undergraduate study. In 1994, Wen came to the U.S. for graduate school and ​received a doctorate in Biology at the California Institute of Technology in 2000.
Dr. Chen has been working for Caltech since 2000 as a biologist and information scientist on genomics and biological research. Part of her everyday work is to speak at scientific conferences and seminars in universities like U.C. San Diego and Harvard Medical School. She is an active member of the Amnesty International Chapter at Pasadena, a board member for Caltech Women in Biology and Biological Engineering, and a special event host for the Caltech Alumni Association. She lives in Pasadena with her husband and two daughters. |

Outstanding Educator Awards | Honoring middle school educators for outstanding service | May 20, 2024 6:40 p.m. |
The Rotary Club of Kirkland very much appreciates the work local educators are doing to offer quality instructional and support programs during the most challenging of times. Despite the challenges presented to our community today, we continue to recognize outstanding educators within our region. While it’s likely there are several examples of “outstanding Service Above Self” among the staff at each school in our community, each year one or more schools nominate one educator who best represents characteristics drawn from the “Object of Rotary”:
The Rotary Club of Kirkland is pleased to honor staff of the Lake Washington School District in the Kirkland area who best represent these high ideals.
