Foothills Rotary Bulletin

 

Friends,
 
Thank you to Ruth Lutes and her committee for all of your work to make Purple Pins a great success!
 
Congratulations to Deedra Moats for receiving the January Rotarian of the Month!  That may be a record for a new member to be recognized as ROM in their third month.  Great job Deedra!
 
I continue to be so impressed with the amazing speakers JD continues to arrange for our club!  Craig Johnson was a hoot.  I was struck by the loud laughter from members hearing Craig's stories.  I look forward to watching the Longmire series on Netflix and reading his books.
 
Our speaker next Tuesday (11th) actually spoke at my company, The Group, earlier this week.  It was fantastic!  Come hear Claire Richardson - Intro to Dementia Together Program
Claire will explain how Dementia Together, a small yet rapidly growing nonprofit, is changing the narrative around dementia. We will learn about the revolutionary SPECAL® method, which is becoming the gold standard for dementia care—and how it fosters lifelong well-being for those walking the dementia journey. 
 
Our first Quad-Club Pot-Luck Social is March 2nd.  Let's make it a great success.  Sign-up info is below.
 
Remember that Joe Scherger has challenged our club to raise $2,500 for Respite Care that he would match it with another $2,500.  Respite Care qualifies for the Colorado Child Care Credit....so if you want to take advantage click here and just write in the note section, "Foothills Rotary match".

We are looking for 10 volunteers for Thursday February 27th, 2025 from 9:15am to 11:45am to work at the  Fort Collins Fresh Food Share No-Cost Market located at 1301 Blue Spruce Dr., Fort Collins.
 
Volunteers are the heart of the Food Bank organization!  We will be resorting, packing, and distributing food.  Please wear closed toed shoes and bring a coat - some volunteers may be working in the cooler or freezer. Volunteers must be 10 years or older.
This is an incredible opportunity for our Foothills club to work together and support the efforts to end hunger in our community.
Please contact Lisa Dunne if you can volunteer or if you have any questions.  Thank you!
 
 
Birthdays:  Rich Laub - 13th; Rod Holland - 14th & Bruce Hottman - 17th
