Community Events/Calls for Help!
Megan Finnesy has done it again with her Dirty Thirty Race – but she needs a food pick up person on June 5th. And the Nederland Visitors’ Center is looking for volunteers as well.
Carbon Valley’s Great Raffle!

Carbon Valley Rotary Club (Firestone, Frederick, Dacono) have an awesome fund raiser going – it’s a raffle with a 10 THOUSAND DOLLAR PRIZE! Yeah, that’s awesome. They only sell 200 tickets, each ticket is $100. Do Peak Rotarians think we could pull of something similar? I like the simplicity and the big payout. I stole a bunch of other ideas, too from their President, Beverly Mendel, while I was at the district conference. You can read more about their raffle after the jump, and then let your PE know – should we put something like this on the fund raiser list? Perhaps we could make it part of the Duck Race activities? THINK BIG, Rotarians – that’s how big things happen!
P2P Rotarians Taking Charge on Children’s Issues Worldwide
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.
Ice Melt Fund Raiser from Mountain Foothills Rotary Club
If you take a waltz over to Evergreen, in the plaza on Hotel Way (behind the car wash at the El Rancho exit) you will find a great place to get a sandwich, The Smiling Moose. At the end of their counter is a giant poster for the annual bet – when the barrel will fall through the ice. Guesses are $3 each, or less if you buy multiple tickets. Benefits Evergreen Rotary projects.
