Rotary Club of Gig Harbor North - Since our club's inception we have impacted our local community and our International friends. Some of our activities: traveling to a remote village in Peru to create a computer lab and traveling with high school students to Guatemala in the mountains to work on a “refugio" for the Opal House. We have supported Polio Plus, Food Backpacks4Kids, Communities in Schools, secured and implemented grant monies to assist homeless families, and others. Our annual fundraiser, The Galloping Gertie is always a fun and profitable venture!
Come be a part of this "Service Above Self" Rotary club!
Our annual fund raiser will be Saturday, August 10, 2019 http://www.galloping-gertie.com/

Our club hosted an “InterGenFest” service event on March 30, 2019 at the Boys/Girls Club of Gig Harbor. It was an experience exchange of activities between seniors and youth. The event had 52 participants and they responded; "We want to do this again!" Students from the Interact clubs at all three high schools in Gig Harbor participated in the planning of this event. The Boys and Girls Club graciously donated their facility and local businesses Panera Bread, Cutters Point Coffee, Safeway and Costco contributed to the food and beverages. Hands on Art provided watercolor supplies and Jeffrey Waters, editor of Northwest Watercolor Society donated his time to teach the watercolor classes.
