THE LAKEWOOD KEY for September 26, 2025
By Joe Quinn
I know. You are probably wondering: “How the heck did the Scribe come up with that theme for this week’s bulletin?” Well, the Program by Jim Merritt today, about the site selection process that led to the University of Washington locating a branch campus in downtown Tacoma got us thinking about the old nickname Tacoma used to use: The City of Destiny! Stay tuned. (Maybe they still use it, unless Lakewood stole that like they steal Tacoma 8 members.)
President Tom George (TG) started us off with some words of wisdom as follows: “Good afternoon, fellow Rotarians and friends. It is my joy and privilege to welcome you to today’s meeting. Each time we gather, we are reminded of the unique spirit of Rotary—a spirit of service above self, or friendship that transcends boundaries, and of a shared commitment to making a lasting difference in our communities and our world.
This year’s Rotary theme: ‘In Unity we Serve Our Community’ calls us not only to dream but to act, not only to serve but to inspire others to serve with us. Let us come together today with open hearts, fresh ideas, and renewed energy to live out that spirit.
