About this event
For 70 years the Rotary Club of Everett has succeeded in providing college scholarships to needy and deserving local high school seniors and nursing students. We have awarded over $5.5 million, benefiting students from Everett, Cascade, Sequoia High Schools, Sno-Isle TECH Skills Center, and Everett Community College.  These scholarships are possible only because of generous private donations. We would love to include your support for the future of Everett’s young achievers.
 
The Helen Jackson Rotary Scholarship was started after her passing in 2018.  Helen was married to the late US Senator Henry M. “Scoop” Jackson. Helen, like Scoop, and like us, recognized that access to higher education is the key not only to personal success but also to maintaining upward mobility and progress for us all.  Helen worked tirelessly for many worthwhile causes in our community.  In recognition of her dedication, she was an honorary member of Everett Rotary for 16 years. 
 
Our gathering is an opportunity to socialize, network, and help us endow a scholarship in my mother Helen’s name so that future students can benefit, in perpetuity, in pursuing the goals that only higher education will allow.
 
Tickets: $200 a person.  Donations are not required but are welcome. All ticket costs and donations will go directly to endow this scholarship.  Our goal is to raise $50,000.  Click here to RSVP and purchase tickets, or to make a donation to the scholarship fund.
 
Please RSVP by September 11, 2023.

Local Rotary Clubs Welcome Rotary Partners from Dominican Republic

 
Has Rotary hit a homer? In Snohomish County and Latin America, Sure feels that way.
 
After eight years teaming together on multiple humanitarian projects, Snohomish County Rotarians are welcoming Rotary club members from the community of Dajabon in the Dominican Republic for fellowship and sightseeing around Puget Sound.
 
And baseball – both Seattle Mariners and Everett Aquasox – is part of the story.
 
Eight Dajabon Rotarians will spend a week exploring such attractions as Seattle’s Pike Place Market, the Space Needle and the Boeing Future of Flight exhibit. They’ll watch a Mariners game and visit local Rotary clubs. A welcoming dinner, open to the public, will be held September 14 at the Indigo Hotel on Everett’s waterfront.
 
The powerful baseball connection includes record-setting Mariners star Julio Rodriguez, who grew up in Dajabon and played for the Everett AquaSox before joining the Mariners. His father, Julio Rodriguez Sr., is one of the supporters Rotary works with in Dajabon.
 
    Want to adopt a school?  Well, here is your chance.  We have a great project going in concert with our sister club in Dejabon and you can be a key part of it.  We have several projects underway, and are inviting the public to join in on this one.  Help improve literacy by providing books for those who don't have them, and providing special education for their teachers.  Don't want to tack on a whole school?  How about a classroom, or an individual student?   Learn more about this exciting Rotary project by clicking here.
    Five years of work and eight visits by Rotary Club of Everett members will soon yield crops for needy farmers in the Dajabón region of the Dominican Republic.
     
    The harvest: grants totaling nearly $107,000 from the Rotary Foundation, Everett-area Rotary clubs, Rotary District 5050 and more to help low-income Dominicans build greenhouse gardens where they will raise vegetables to eat and sell.
