Joanne Primavera attended a District 5030 meeting for international projects on behalf of the international service committee. The committee discussed various options and approved the following international projects: $1,000 to support a field hospital in earthquake disaster areas in Turkey and Syria (Alderwood Terrace); $1,000 for a Rwanda computer literacy project (Maple Valley), $1,000 for a projoect named Days for Girls that provides reusable menstrual kits and adolescent health care for both boys and girls in the Kingdom of Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland (Lynnwood); and $1,000 for a Water Harvesting Project at the Twegashe Primary School in Tanzania (Seattle International Club).

The club’s board of directors held a special meeting after the regular club meeting on Monday, April 10, 2023, via Zoom. The single purpose special meeting was solely to address needed revisions to the club's bylaws. The bylaws committee compared the old versions of bylaws to the current recommended language and required elements provided by Rotary International, and proposed extensive changes to the board. Board members reviewed the revisions article by article and section by section, making several changes to the proposed language revisions. An updated draft will be prepared for the regular April board meeting scheduled on April 20, 2023. The board meeting schedule is published in the club's Calendar. Rotarians may view board meeting minutes from this special meeting and the April regular meeting later this month on the Board Minutes page, which requires a log-in. A link also may be found at the bottom of The Spokesman.
