Why do a rummage sale: The Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island's primary fundraiser for over 60-years
Carol Reitz is a six-year member of the 150-member Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island, and was the chair of the Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island Auction & Rummage Sale in 2023. Carol will discuss with Kirkland Rotarians "Why do a rummage sale?" The Bainbridge Island club has been using the rummage sale as its primary fundraising tool for over 60 years. It’s a long-term commitment that will provide more benefits than just dollars.
Carol was raised in Minnesota, and graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with a degree in music. She found a job thanks to her MBA in finance from the University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minnesota. She retired from Weyerhauser's Management Consulting group in Federal Way when her son was born 26 years ago. Her son graduated from Mount Si High School in Snoqualmie, and Carol accompanied the excellent Mount Si High School choirs for five years. Carol is now the committee chair for the Rotary Positive Peace Action group and the Mentorship process. She is also the president of the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community.
