Keeping up with Rain City Rotary, January 2015

By Donna Eggen

Sunday, January 18, was a memorable day. The Seahawks won the NFL championship (whew!!) and Rain City Rotary served dinner to Tent City 3.

We cooked the food at St Dunstan’s Church and rushed it down to Seattle Pacific University where Tent City 3 is camped. We served hearty pea soup and cornbread and fruit and cookies. The people of tent city pronounced it delicious and enjoyed it. 

President Janet Shandley said “We showed up with dinner shortly after the Seahawks earned another trip to the Super Bowl so that was fun. I was delighted to see their great set-up at SPU giving the residents access to a TV screening tent directly across from a large common covered area so they could join in the celebrations together. 

"Our club has continued to make a commitment to the residents of Tent City 3 as we look for ways to make an impact locally, as well as globally.”

St. Dunstan's is happy to welcome other groups and individuals to cook for tent city. See article.
