We’re not alone—and it’s never been easier to manage the responsibilities that keep our clubs strong.

Rotary District 5030: People of Action. Protectors of Our Planet
Have you ever noticed old, abandoned tires scattered along our beautiful Puget Sound shorelines? On Vashon-Maury Island alone, more than 20 rogue tires were counted during just a few recent low-tide walks — stark reminders that marine pollution isn’t just an abstract issue.
