International equities began the year with strong momentum, but the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East has introduced uncertainty and paused their outperformance relative to U.S. stocks. While volatility is likely to remain elevated in the near term, we believe international equities can reassert their value once energy prices begin to normalize.

With the 2026 Bainbridge Island Rotary Auction and Rummage Sale less than 6 months away, it's been fun getting together with our planning teams and starting to put the pieces in place! It's impressive what this group is capable of.

One of the many things I love about Rotary on Bainbridge Island is the incredible speakers we get exposed to on a weekly basis. Yesterday Governor Bob Ferguson answered questions about all the fun he is having in politics this year as Governor of Washington State. I was able to bring 2 guests to the speech and both had an incredible time. Stop by the next meeting as my guest if you’re interested!

Incredibly lucky to have such a supportive and fun group of Rotarians around me this year as I take on the Bainbridge Auction and Rummage Sale Co-chair role. I've met so many kind, community oriented folks over the last several years that have made me feel at home on Bainbridge. Excited for big things to come this year!

I had a great time at the Housing Resource Bainbridge fundraiser last week! Thanks so much to Kaylee and the whole HRB team for inviting me, I had a lovely evening and learned a lot about the incredible work they accomplish here on the Island.
