Paul Jensen

Paul grew up in Eastern Washington (shout out to the 509) where he devoured trivia books and game shows at an early age. He has been writing/hosting pub quizzes since 2006. You can find him hosting quiz nights at The Skylark Cafe, Crown Bar, and The Local 907 as well as co-hosting the Shall We Compare Thee Podcast and singing with local faves The Profits. Hobbies include drinking lots of coffee and mispronouncing Flo Rida. This promises to be a fun and interactive meeting. Don't miss it!

DIVERSITY STATEMENT

The Rotary Club of Tacoma #8 is open to all people who want to make positive changes in our community and world. We welcome all members and guests, regardless of race, nationality, religion, faith, gender, sexual orientation, cultural background, and ability.

We will not tolerate racism. We strive to become an anti-racist organization. We are committed to learning more about how systemic racism has led to inequality in all systems – including education, housing, health, employment, wealth accumulation, policing, prosecution, sentencing, and incarceration – and working to eradicate inequality wherever we encounter it.
