Bremerton Rotary is proud to sponsor the Bremerton Blackberry Festival, held each year over the Labor Day weekend. The Bremerton waterfront boardwalk comes alive with food booths, arts & crafts, music, clowns and children's activities. The 24th annual Bremerton Blackberry Festival is scheduled for Aug. 31-Sept. 2, 2013, attracting thousands of visitors during the three-day event. Members of our club helped organize the event and also staff the Rotary information booth, Oyster Booth, Berry Central (selling T-shirts and souvenirs) and Chalk on the Block contest. Our coordinator for the event is Carol Atkinson. All proceeds our club receives from the event will be reinvested in the local community. For more information, visit the Blackberry Festival website.

For the 6th consecutive year, Bremerton Rotarians and others read to kindergarteners in the Bremerton School District's six elementary schools once a week for nine weeks, starting in January. We read to 22 kindergarten classrooms, including two in a Spanish immersion program where our volunteers read in Spanish. Studies have shown that the more kindergarteners are read to, the better they will be prepared for learning to read.

Bremerton Rotary Club is celebrating the 72nd anniversary of its founding this year! Organized Oct. 31, 1941, it is the oldest Rotary Club in Kitsap County, Washington. The charter dinner was scheduled for Dec. 7, 1941, but had to be postponed when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Our club is composed of more than 100 business and professional men and women from a variety of vocations. We are dedicated to community and international service, and we also provide an opportunity for fellowship among the members. | | Posted on Jun 22, 2010
Led by base-clearing home runs by Flip Herndon and Glen Henrickson (the latter a Grand Salami!), the Bremerton Rotary softball team atoned for two earlier losses years ago, defeating East Bremerton 12-10 in an exciting contest at the Fairgrounds on June 22, 2010. Our team sealed the deal with six runs in the 5th inning, then held on as East Bremerton mounted a stiff rally in the bottom of the 7th. Ryan Rydalch (pictured at left) was the victorious manager.
