Foothills Rotary Bulletin

Friends,
 
Look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday for our Nuclear Submarine USS Colorado.  We have 127 people registered!  Should be an awesome event.  Please plan to arrive early.  The Naval Officers will be arriving at approx 11:30....but you know these military folks are always late :)
 
Our Club Assembly and Board Elections will be held on May 20th.  If you are interested in running for a 3-year board seat, please let Wynn know by May 12th. 
 
We had a fantastic Duck Race Beneficiary Kick off party last week and already have 36 Beneficiaries signed up to sell duck adoptions.  That is twice as many as last year!  Great job to the hard work of the Duck Race Committee.
 
Our 10,000 ducks have arrived...and they arrived just ahead of the tariffs!  Thank you Ilan for storing them for us!
Remember to register for the District Conference (June 12-14).   The link is below.
 
If you want to serve alcohol, check IDs etc. for the Peach Festival, please sign up for Safe Serve, a Fort Collins Police Department run class. Only $10, takes two hours and no test.
Here is the link for FCPD Safe Serve! Pass along that the course is taught at the Mason Street FCPD location.
 
Birthdays:  Bill Daigneault (17th)
 
Rotary Anniversaries:  Jeff Schoonover (26 years)
 
Thank you for everything you do to "Improve Lives". 
 
In Gratitude,

Wynn
