It was a big night for five local Rotary Clubs Thursday as they joined together for a special kickoff celebration in honor of Rotary International’s 110th anniversary.

Members of the Rotary Clubs of Lynnwood, Alderwood-Terrace, Edmonds Noon, Edmonds Daybreakers and Mill Creek gathered at Anthony’s Seafood Grill at the Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood.

Members of local Rotary Clubs gathered to celebrate Rotary International's 110th anniversary and to launch a public campaign to collect new shoes and socks.
