October 2023 Rotary CornerThe Rotary Corner Welcome to the October Okanogan Omak Rotary club corner. This month we are all getting ready for the end of warm weather, gathering the last of crops for winter eating, raking leaves, draining irrigation lines, and making sure our “winterizing” is done just in case we get another Snowmaggedon in November! The big news for our club is that the October 25 th Steak Night and Halloween Costume event promises to have possibly the largest number of amazing auction items in our history and that includes our Wine and Cheese Galas! Some highlights of auction items: Gourmet, 7 course dinners including curated wine; 4 day stays packed with live shows in Seattle; Dinners on the water; and SO much more will be on the auction block. A few tickets are still available. For more information/check our website or our Facebook page; Rotary Club of Okanogan Omak https://okanogan-omakrotary.org. The Costume contest will be another highlight this year with special prizes for winners and runner ups. Are you interested in joining a club that has tons of fun but also accomplishes so much good for our community? There is regular information on our Facebook page but better yet if you know a board member or our President, Eric Schneider who can often be found working at Papa Murphy’s ask him how to get involved. Winter can be a lonely time but it doesn’t have to be. Join us and get involved in doing some of the best work that never felt like work! |

Recently, the President of Rotary International discussed the role we can all play in solving mental health needs near and far. He said “Its an important task and a big ask. But its also something that should feel familiar to every Rotary member because everything we do is in the spirit of caring, giving friendship and compassion, and has been from the beginning of our organization. |
