Please join the Peak to Peak Rotary Club on September 2nd when CD2 incumbent, Jared Polis will come to speak and answer questions about his office and candidacy. Our club is proud to set the example of reasoned discourse in politics. If you’re looking for a pleasant lunch with pleasant company and a calm, respectful place to address political questions to a candidate, this is the place! Guest lunches are still just $10 for the Isle’s amazing buffet! We meet Thursdays from 11:30 to 1Pm with the program from 12:15 to 1PM. If you’d like more information on attending lunch, just give Michelle a call at 303-582-3934 or drop her a note (the best way) at michelle@northrup.com .

Hello Rotarians and Friends,

I am here wishing you a happy, safe and fun-filled Independence Day. At the Fire Eater house, we honor this day by playing John Phillip Souza marches at full blast all morning, enjoying the liberty to grill, eat and drink merrily, the freedom to play horseshoes, and finally a reading of some freedom speech or document before the big boom town opens up in the sky over Black Hawk. Many choose the Declaration of Independence – the document and spirit this day celebrates – as the standard reading, but there is a fine exerpt of George Washington’s general orders given on July 2, 1776 that I thought I’d share with you. Because it’s good to recall the circumstances of our release, and because everybody but everybody just loves George Washington. If that’s too serious for you, I also added the awesome Founding Fathers Rap from JibJab at the bottom. Word!!

The Red Men Cemetery at the top of Eureka in Central City is being decimated by overuse, with vandalism and damage to stones and greenery - The Historical Advisory Preservation Commission, in partnership with the Cities of Black Hawk and Central and the County of Gilpin, will be leading a community effort on JUNE 26th from 9 am until the job is done to get this area spruced up and protected. Our community will gather there for a bit of food and then aim to replace the old fences and install signage about the area’s history. Come and learn about the Red Men Cemetery and enjoy fellowship with your community while helping to keep it beautiful and preserve history for generations to come. For more info, send us a note.

There is so much fun stuff going on… don’t miss out! And please lend a hand to those who work so hard to keep our beautiful mountain community, well, beautiful. And remember you can visit our FaceBook page to find out what our friends are up to, too!

Cora Meneceur gave an OUTSTANDING presentation on global water projects on behalf of the District 6960 (Florida) Water Projects Committee. We learned how water projects are funded and by whom, and how the work gets done. We owe a great debt to Cora and the District 6960 WP committee for bringing this informative presentation to us. And special thanks to the Moore’s and Linda Jones for helping to make her visit comfortable and fun. Thanks to everyone for this great program!!
