Spokane Rotary Club 21

08/28/2026

We had a nostalgic look behind the scenes of Spokane Baseball this week with Andy Billig, CEO of the Spokane Indians. For many of us, the most impactful moment was hearing about the evolution of their partnership with the Spokane Tribe and the unique platform they’ve created to educate attendees about the history of our region and the Salish language.

It was also interesting to learn that the Indians Baseball Club started in 1903, eight years before our Rotary Club 21 was established in 1911!

If you didn’t have a chance to visit the community resource center at Shadle Park High school, know that it was an incredible feeling throughout the event of hope, support, and community 💛

Rotary 21 is partnering with Disaster Aid USA to remove debris, take down trees, and help sort through ash. Link in the comments if you’d like to volunteer!

Rotarians, friends and family staffed a table at the event, collecting contact information for debris removal and just listening to anyone who stopped to visit. It was an amazing reminder of who we are when we come together as community!
