Registration has been extended for club members and guests who still wish to register for the Holiday Gift Wrapping Party on Monday, December 18, 2023. The annual event begins at 5:30 p.m. with gift wrapping. After gifts are wrapped, dinner will follow and the club will hold its annual meeting for this Rotary year. During the meeting, officers and board members will be elected for 2024-2025. The club will meet at the St. John's Episcopal Church in Kirkland. As of December 13, the registration fee is $50 per attendee, which covers venue, food, and drink costs, and must be paid at the time of registration. Holiday gifting supports John Muir Elementary School families. The John Muir staff identifies families whose circumstances make them eligible for holiday gift donations.

The donation page offers pre-set amounts from which to choose, and the option to fill in your own amount.
