The Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island is incredibly proud to back this project! We encourage everyone—including our own club members and families—who has a piece of Bainbridge history to share to reach out and get involved. Let's preserve these memories together!

We’re honored to be featured in PNW Bainbridge Magazine for our newly launched Oral History Kit Project! This initiative is designed to help preserve the stories, memories, and experiences that make Bainbridge Island such a special place.

The Oral History Kits were made possible through the generous support of the Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island. Every memory shared helps enrich our community’s historical record and ensures that future generations can learn from the people who lived it. If you, or someone you know has memories of Bainbridge Island that you’d like to preserve, we’d love to hear from you! Please send us a message at [email protected].

Thank you to PNW Bainbridge Magazine for helping us share this project, and to the Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island for making it possible.

🌍 Honoring Our Traditions, Embracing Our Future.

​"This is a changing world; we must be prepared to change with it. The story of Rotary will have to be written again and again." — Paul Harris, Rotary Founder.

​Decades ago, our founder understood a beautiful truth: for Rotary to thrive, we must be willing to grow alongside the world around us.
​Here on Bainbridge Island, our core values—fellowship, integrity, and Service Above Self—never change. They are the bedrock of everything we do. So how we connect, whether through a handshake at a weekly meeting or a digital network connecting us globally, is just the next chapter in our story?📖✨

​Every generation of Rotarians brings something vital to the table. Our seasoned members provide the wisdom, experience, and deep roots that anchor us, while new ideas and technologies help us expand our reach.

Together, we make our island—and the world—a better place.

​👉 What is your favorite Rotary tradition that you hope never changes? Share it in the comments below!

🌟 Stars, Stripes, and Community Spirit! 🎨

What a fantastic day on Bainbridge Island! We are still smiling after an incredible **Stars & Stripes Tie-Dye Day** at the BIMA Family Days event.

A massive thank you to our wonderful partners, the **Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce** and the **Bainbridge Island Museum of Art (BIMA)**. Collaborating with you both made this event an absolute masterpiece! 🤝❤️
We also want to send a huge shout-out to the amazing volunteers from all three organizations. Your energy, helpful hands, and enthusiasm kept the creativity flowing all day long. We couldn't have done it without you! 🙌

By the Numbers:
* **75+ Families** visited our booth to create their own unique tie-dye art.

3 Organizationscoming together for our community.

Countless Memories made!

We had the best time watching visitors of all ages get creative. We absolutely cannot wait to see everyone rocking their red, white, and blue wearable art during the **Fourth of July** celebration! 🇺🇸✨

Greetings from Victoria, BC! 🇨🇦
​The Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island is having a fantastic time representing our community at the District 5020 Conference!
​We kicked off this morning with the District International Service Module, and we have to say—it was incredibly well-organized.
​The session was packed with shared wisdom on how to make our international service projects more sustainable and impactful. From learning the nuts and bolts of navigating Rotary Grants to networking with other clubs dedicated to global improvement, we walked away with so much practical, hands-on knowledge.
​Collaboration truly is the key to leadership in international projects. As we start looking ahead and preparing our committees for the upcoming 2026-2027 term, the best practices and expert resources we discovered in the Esquimalt Room today are going to be absolutely invaluable.
​When we share our experiences and learn from our peers, we all benefit. We can't wait to bring these fresh ideas back to the island! 🌍🤝✨
