Members of several north-end Rotary clubs will attend the presentation on April 17th, Tuesday at the Shoreline Center, by the six-member young professional representatives selected by Nepal Rotary 3292 who are here for the month, visiting all areas of Puget Sound. 

This week the group is visiting North-end churches, political and public agencies, schools and universities. They are sampling and tasting typical North-end foods and fun, and looking for solutions to take home for a small land-bound country next to India.

Rotary, whose motto is Service above Self, is looking for ways to help the developing country which has had only twenty years to develop an economy and functional government. For many years Nepal has been a monarchy, so, the government process for a country in which 90% of the population is living below the poverty level, is a real challenge.

Shoreline Rotary Club, which co-operates cheerfully with foreign countries in need, (i.e., polio-plus children, earthquakes, paralysis in India) is developing a plan to support Nepal.

This week’s presentation takes place at the Shoreline Conference Center Spartan room (sound end of the complex) at 12:00 noon Tuesday, April 17.

All Rotarians are welcome.
