Rotary members are invited to attend a meeting of the Kirkland Rotary Foundation on Monday, April 4 directly after the meeting of the Rotary Club of Kirkland in the same meeting room at the Kirkland Marriott.New by-laws for the Kirkland Rotary Foundation, which were approved by the foundation board, were distributed by ClubRunner email by Joanne Primavera, treasurer of the Kirkland Rotary Foundation. Two of the major changes in the by-laws are: (1) the members of the Kirkland Rotary Foundation were just the foundation board members and they were foundation board members by invitation only. The new by-laws provide any dues paying member of the Rotary Club of Kirkland may be a member of the Kirkland Rotary Foundation; and (2) the foundation board members have term limits -- one cannot be a 'member for life.'
At the April 4 meeting, foundation members will be electing three new foundation board members. The nominating committee has nominated Rick Ostrander, Patti Smith, and John Pruitt for the foundation board, all of whom have accepted their nominations.
