Evergreen-Washelli Memorial Gardens

 
 
The Rotary Club of Mill Creek will be laying wreaths at Evergreen-Washelli Memorial Gardens on Saturday, December 19, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. to coincide with the ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery which begins at 12 noon. On that date, all across our nation, wreaths are placed on the graves of our fallen veterans. There are 5,000 Veteran’s Graves at Evergreen-Washelli Memorial Gardens and the goal is to place as many wreaths as possible. The cost per wreath is $17 and for each wreath purchased through our organization's link, a donation will be made back to the Mill Creek Rotary Foundation by Wreaths Across America. Please contribute at the link below to remember our Fallen Veterans, honor those who have served and increase the impact of your donation. The Rotary Club of Mill Creek thanks you for your participation.

Bilingual and Foreign Language Books Needed
 

Research shows that children who read in their native language along with English make more reading progress than those who do not. The Rotary Club of Mill Creek’s Little Free Library project is in need of bilingual and foreign language books that our receiving communities are requesting. For that reason, Mill Creek Rotary has created an Amazon Wish List which you can use to browse and buy bilingual, foreign language, and very popular English books for the children we serve with our Little Free Libraries. When you buy books on this Amazon Wish List, they will be sent to the Rotary Club of Mill Creek for our Little Free Libraries at the Mill Creek Community Food Bank, our three participating mobile home parks, and Clothes for Kids.  These donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Founded in 1986, the Rotary Club of Mill Creek has a proud history of service, leadership, and community involvement. Over the years, our club has become a leader in the greater Seattle area, supporting more than 65 international projects and hundreds of local initiatives.

Our international efforts have made a lasting difference. In 1992, we helped coordinate a $220,000 grant with MIND Prosthetic Lib Co. to establish prosthetic clinics in Thailand for land mine victims. Through fundraising and matching contributions, we have also helped provide wheelchairs to more than 4,000 people in need. Our club has supported medical professionals, including dentists, doctors, podiatrists, and audiologists, while delivering essential medical supplies, food, shelter, immunizations, and educational resources to families around the world.

Closer to home, we continue to respond to the needs of our community. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our club provided surgical masks to first responders, clothing to Mill Creek students in need, and more than $140,000 in food and financial contributions to the Mill Creek Community Food Bank.

Join the Rotary Club of Mill Creek and help us make a lasting difference - locally and around the world.

Gary Walderman - Heroes Cafe
Nov 04, 2026 12:30 PM
All Things Heroes Cafe and the work they do on behalf of veterans

Please join us as we welcome Gary Walderman, founder and director of Heroes’ Café in Lynnwood. Gary is an Air Force veteran with 21 years of service, including Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm. In 2016 and 2017 he brought together a small group of fellow veterans to create something he believed was missing: a place where veterans could gather, reconnect, and support one another.

Heroes’ Café meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month at New Life Church in Lynnwood. Veterans and their families share a hot meal, swap stories, and connect with resources, including a Veterans Service Officer who is on hand to answer questions. Behind the coffee and conversation is a serious mission: reducing veteran isolation and preventing veteran suicide by making sure no veteran has to carry their burdens alone.

The café now welcomes well over a hundred veterans and family members each month and has inspired similar gatherings in Shoreline and Woodinville. Gary also collects cold-weather clothing and hygiene kits and helps individual veterans with practical needs as they arise. In recognition of this work, the American Red Cross Northwest Region honored him with its 2025 Clare Waite Humanitarian Award.

Come hear Gary’s story and learn how our club can support the veterans in our community.
