WE GET DIRTY....Its not just MONEY that makes the world go 'round, It also takes SWEAT.  In 2013, now past-President Jennifer Sehlin introduced our Rotary Club theme “Lets Get Dirty”, ie, get dirty and work in order to get things done in the community. This is the HEART of ROTARY...giving EQUITY and/or SWEAT EQUITY to get things done.

Today, we  “Get Dirty” in NE Seattle in several ways:
  • Food Distribution (Year Round - Second Thursday Each Month) at North Helpline from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m..   
  • Holiday Gift Baskets (Thanksgiving and Christmas) ... we assemble over 200 baskets each year on two Saturday mornings in the Fall to be delivered by Scouts
  • Summer Farmers Market (Summer - Every Thursday) ... We glean vegetables from farmers as they close up their stalls.  These free vegetables go right to the North Helpline foodbank, where they are cleaned and packaged for the public. 
  • Lake City Bingo-Karaoke (Fall,Winter,Spring - Second Saturday Each Month)
  • Lake City Cleanup (1-2 times/year) - Joining with other volunteers of Lake City Future First on their monthly 2 hour Saturday litter detail.
  • Mary's Annual Garage Sale (Each Year in July) ... Is it time to downsize? Bring us your stuff, we'll organize it and turn it into valuable cash for fighting polio worldwide.​
