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/

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.
