High on Rotary

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 .

 A little message from Cora Meneceur of the Rotary Rail and Water Tour:

My experience with Rotary and Intelligentsia International

“At the age of 21, I left the Parisian suburbs and came to Florida to work with a Rotary International water projects committee, and to learn about U.S. non-profit organizations as part of my 6-month Masters Degree internship with Intelligentsia International. But it ended up being much more than this. Here, I discovered a real team committed to promote access to drinkable water throughout the world.

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!! If you would like more information on the Rotary Rail and Water Tour and their projects, please visit http://centralasiawater.org/service.php or find the Rotary Rail and Water Tour on Facebook!

Our own Judge Berryhill is on the board for the Colorado Trail association and will be speaking to us about this great organization and all they do to protect and maintain the trail for the enjoyment of residents and visitors alike. This group has played a pivotal role in preserving this trail for all to enjoy for generations to come. Be sure to join us for this special presentation!

Our club knows a good thing when they see it. Caryn West and her family have dedicated themselves, in the face of much adversity, to seeing their project through to its success, and we were impressed. So much so that we have stepped up as a club to support her vision for a better world for children, for a beautiful expression of hope, for an project that aims to inspire people to action on children’s issues worldwide.

And simply for creating a great project that exemplifies the spirit of Rotary, and including Rotary in her pursuit of positive change, which is very smart. Caryn knows a good thing when she sees it, too.
