The new committee comprises the club's vice president, Pete Anderson, the immediate past-president, Dave DeBois, and the membership chair, Rick Walter.

Volunteer for Rummage Sale Teams
In February, the club's board of directors formally established sub-committees for what is now the Rummage Sale Committee: the operations team, volunteer team, finance team, food team, and the technology and marketing team. The aim of these teams is to capitalize on and coordinate Rotarians’ and other volunteers' skills to successfully mount the new rummage sale project. All club members are encouraged to contribute to the effort. For those who haven't already signed up to volunteer on one or two teams, the links below will take you to the sign-up screens. Those who have volunteered will receive email confirmations later today.
 
Rotarians may find a description of each team and general information about the project on the Rummage Sale Committee page of the club's website. This page may be accessed on the drop-down "Committees" menu on the club's website home page.

Rotary's Four-Way Test
Club to Review Meeting Structure
During its March 16 meeting, the Rotary Club of Kirkland Board of Directors decided to survey all club members on the club's three-meetings-a-month schedule (two in-person meetings and one virtual meeting).
Club members will be surveyed via SurveyMonkey during the week of April 3. Meeting schedule discussion and club decision on continuation or changing the structure is slated for the April 10 online meeting. The location for in-person meetings is not intended to be part of the discussion, only the three-meetings-a-month structure.
Dinner Ticket Refunds Available
Rotary Dinner Ticket sales were suspended when the club moved to SOI Thai Restaurant & Bar for in-person meetings. Because the restaurant charges each attendee based on his or her dinner order, the Dinner Tickets are no longer useful for meal purchases. The club's board of directors approved refunding to club members the balances remaining on their Rotary Dinner Tickets.
