Good Morning! Today we will be an exciting meeting as we welcome Blevins Middle School for our Student of the Month presentation. Today our speaker will be Tricia Canonico who will be speaking about the proposed Front Range Passenger Rail. This has been in the news quite a bit as of late and it will be good to have the opportunity to learn a little more in-depth about this project.
Next week will be our offsite scheduled at Front Range Community College. This is going to be a great offsite as Colleen Simpson who is the President of FRCC will be speaking to our club. After the presentation there will be an optional tour of the school. I'm really hoping that we have a lot of people attend. This would be a great event to bring a guest to. We won't be charging a guest fee for visitors. Please be sure to register here so we have a good headcount for food. Offsite meeting at Front Range Community College | Rotary Club of Fort Collins (Foothills)
If you would like to join the Rotary Golf League, the first outing will be Friday May 8th at Highland Meadows. There is a new course that is scheduled each month up to October and is a fun way to raise funds for RYLA.
Look forward to seeing everyone at the meeting today!

Front Range Passenger Rail: Moving from Planning to Public Readiness
Front Range Passenger Rail (FRPR) is a proposed inter-city passenger train service along the Front Range and broader I-25 corridors in Colorado and Wyoming. The selected route runs from Fort Collins, Loveland, Longmont, Boulder, Denver, South Metro (Littleton), Castle Rock, Colorado Springs to Pueblo. Proposals exist to extend the project northwards to Cheyenne in Wyoming and southwards to Trinidad and New Mexico. The Front Range Passenger Rail District is engaging community members along the corridor to share information, answer questions, and hear feedback from residents as the project advances. This outreach is part of the District’s statutory responsibility to conduct transparent public engagement before any potential future decisions are considered.
