OnSaturday, July 12, Issaquah Rotary will be hosting the 17th annual Challenge Series Races.
This event allows those with disabilities to experience the fun and excitement of a soapbox derby-type race. Racing down 2nd Avenue in front of the Community Center in historic downtown Issaquah is a thrill for all the participants.
For the races, two participants climb into the seat of a car. The participant with disabilities is paired up with an able-bodied driver at the wheel. All participants are an integral part of the racing team and enjoy the experience. Participants must be 5’2” or under and less than 130 pounds.
The Rotary Club of Issaquah has approximately 55 members and serves a community 15 miles from the city of Seattle, Washington. As metropolitan Seattle has expanded, Issaquah has become a suburb of that city.
Rotary International is the largest service organization club in the world. There are over 1.2 Million Rotarians who pledge a commitment to Service Above Self. In more than 34,000 Rotary Clubs worldwide you'll find members volunteering in communities at home and abroad to support education and job training, provide clean water, combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, and eradicate polio.

Rotary builds international understanding through scholarships, exchange programs, and humanitarian grants. Throughout the world, Rotary clubs participate in a broad range of educational, intercultural, and humanitarian activities designed to improve the lives of others.
Benefits of Membership
Belonging to a Rotary club provides members with an opportunity to make a contribution to their own communities and to communities around the world.
Individuals may join Rotary for many reasons, including community involvement, personal development, professional networking, and camaraderie with fellow members. But perhaps the most important benefit is the satisfaction gained from making a real difference in the world.
