Speed Croquet 2024

This ain’t your Grandma’s croquet! This croquet match is full of trash talking, ribbing, and fierce competition for a stunningly majestic trophy! The stakes are low but the laughs are abundant! Can you guide your team through all the wickets and back in under 10 minutes?
Join us for a FUN afternoon of family-friendly competition. It’s okay if you don’t remember how to play croquet, this is a new twist on an old favorite where your team will compete against other teams to see who can get their entire team through all the wickets the fastest! FASTEST team wins a much coveted trophy and bragging rights!
So gather your team of 6, or sign up individually and we will assemble a team when you arrive. You can even just come to eat and watch the frenzy! Additional side games will be in play while you wait your turn, and we will also have a small silent and live auction if croquet is just too exciting for you.
Sponsorships are available, and donations are welcome.
Proceeds benefit the Federal Way Rotary Club community programs with an emphasis on youth related projects.

This June, Rotary District 5030 and Bloodworks Northwest invite you to a landmark event at the Lake Forest Park Town Center. Celebrate a significant milestone with us as Past District Governor Alan Merry makes his one hundredth blood donation on June 10th. Remarkably, this event will also mark the first-ever blood donation by our current District Governor, Kaj Pedersen. To commemorate these milestones, we are launching the “One to One Hundred Blood Drive.”
For the first time, changes in donation eligibility allow more members, including myself, to contribute to blood donation in the USA. This pivotal event offers a unique opportunity for our past district governors and the G-line to lead by example and inspire all members of our district to participate.
We are setting an ambitious goal to gather over 100 donors from June 1st to 15th. We welcome all— from first-timers to veteran donors like Alan—to join us in this life-saving endeavor. Our COG and G-line will be actively participating, and we encourage all district clubs to rally for this cause.
