Foothills Rotary Weekly Bulletin

Here's what's on my mind this month:

I've noticed that my own habits around membership have changed a whole lot in the last couple of years. I now have a lot of "You know, you should check out Rotary" conversations out in the community, and I make a distinct point to welcome all visitors and guests at each meeting. This is an important part of growing our club back to the energy we had before the pandemic!

And don't forget our social at the Moot House this Tuesday! Contact Rich Cress if you have questions.

Carl

NO MEETING AT THE MARRIOTT this week - our social event is at the Moot House!

Be sure to bring $25 cash or check (to Rich Cress) for each person attending.

News from our own Bill Hart:

Today [Friday], Karen Chaney Hart, the love of my life passed away peacefully after struggling with leukemia for 7 months.  It’s impossible for me to describe how much I miss her already.  I tried so hard to keep her here and I couldn’t do it.

Karen’s on her new journey and I’m sure she’s laughing and reorganizing the furniture in heaven.  😊

Announcements
Order your peaches!
This year Breakfast Rotary will be using proceeds to benefit Dolly Parton Imagination Library in Larimer County. So put in your order today through the Breakfast Rotary website!
Dolly Parton needs your help!

A year ago, our own Allison Hines gave a presentation with Jack Tate about the Dolly Parton Imagination Library expanding to Larimer County. Video from last July

United Way has been the leader in bringing this to our county, having an incredible impact on literacy right here in our community.

We need your help reaching out to health care organizations, elementary schools and pre-schools in Fort Collins, to spread the word and help parents sign their kids up for this free program. Would you like to help reach out to these groups in July and August? We need more people!
