In January, the Rotary Club of Kirkland membership approved moving to an annual rummage sale as the club's major fundraising project. The club's Fundraising Committee, Pete Anderson, Dave DeBois, and Rick Walter, have now formalized the fundraising committee structure and will be engaging members in commitments within the next few weeks. Gary Cohn has been researching details of school district partnership in the project, and has been able to discuss options with staff at LWHS and the district superintendent. Meetings and visits to two or three district sites are likely within the month in order for the club have adequate information to file the Building Use Application required to reserve space at schools. Dave and Gary are gathering information from the Bainbridge Island and Kirkland police departments in order to lay well-considered safety and security plans. The first rummage sale will most likely be during the last week of June or early July, depending upon location details. Members may tour the Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island Annual Auction & Rummage Sale website for background information on their project.
