Mike Hunter recited the Pledge of Allegiance while the rest of us stood, in order to avoid ‘out-of-sync-problems’ with our audio.

Membership Dues Update
Just a quick reminder, Rotarians, that July is dues month in our Rotary world.  By now, it's likely all of the Kirkland members know the club implemented the online dues and billing module that now is built into our ClubRunner system.  Members received on July 1 dues statements produced by the ClubRunner system and sent to members’ preferred email designated in the Membership Profiles in ClubRunner.  As of July 22, 27 of the club’s 54 active members, or 50%, have paid their annual dues.
Website and Spokesman Content
Club members can contribute to the value of the website and the Spokesman!  As Rotarians continue to conduct business online, it becomes more important that the club’s activities be accessible to each and every member.  To keep club members apprised of various committee activities, club chairs are invited to submit brief updates on committee work progress for inclusion in the club’s weekly bulletin, the Spokesman.  Please note that all members are invited to submit club-related articles for the Spokesman; the more we share the more we know about our club’s good works.  In addition, members are invited to submit club-related photos for a new website component that will enhance the photo display ability of the home page.  Members may email articles and photos to Gary Cohn at gdcohn@gmail.com.
Programs and Speakers Update
An earlier edition of the Spokesman carried a story about the new Programs and Speakers Committee's monthly program themes.  This is a reminder that Rotarians are invited to contribute to the initial list of monthly themes generated through committee discussion, and listed in the July 6, 2020 edition.  A series of diversity, equity, and inclusion speakers is scheduled for August, and September is tentatively scheduled for area education leaders who can provide members insight into back-to-school plans and activities. At this point, it's likely October will be devoted to major business stakeholder perspectives, and November may be devoted to topics about veterans.  If you are interested in joining the Programs and Speakers Committee, please email James Nevers at jnevers@soundmarkwealth.com.  If you have a speaker or topic suggestion, please use the “Suggest A Speaker” page on the club's website.
Welcome Returning Rotarian
With the return to the Rotary Club of Kirkland of Dr. Ken Hollingsworth, the club’s membership now stands at 54.  The club welcomes Ken, who is still living in Seattle, back to membership.  With the implementation of online meetings, Ken says he can --and is excited about-- rejoining the club’s meetings and virtual activities.
