The Rotary Club of Jackson Hole convened for a great evening of conversation. Case and Amy Morton, assisted by Hailey, Nate, and Sara, provided the setting at the Inn on the Creek. To accompany the wonderful setting, the wine and food were great. The evening proved that Rotary is not all work, projects, and lunches. Thank-you Casey and Amy.

The Rotary Club of Jackson Hole held its fourth and most successful Casino Night which raises funds for scholarships for local students. The Wort Hotel hosted the event in style and costume. It was a great evening. Jim Waldrop, Chair of the Casino Night Committee thanked the members of the committee, the many sponsors of the event, and the number of volunteers who helped in the execution of a great evening of fun and funds. Jim reported that a record $280,000 was earned for scholarships for our area high school students. An enlarged article on this successful evening will follow. kls
Rotary members believe that we have a shared responsibility to take action on our world’s most persistent issues. Our 35,000+ clubs work together to:
- Promote peace
- Fight disease
- Provide clean water, sanitation, and hygiene
- Save mothers and children
- Support education
- Grow local economies
In many cases, I think of the words of a small town Mayor that I met in Ivinhema, MS, Brazil in 2008 ring true to our motto of “Service Above Self.” The Brazilian Mayor profusely thanked us for a Rotary project we did in his community. He said, “We send our taxes to Sao Paulo (Brazil), but we never see anything come back. Rotary has come here to help us and no one has ever done that for us before. We can’t thank you enough.”
For our club members and their family members that are being recognized today, we wish to thank you for becoming a Paul Harris Fellow.

Thanks these great Rotarians as often as possible.
Congratulations President Tony - selected as best Large Club President in District 5440. Tony was presented the award at the annual Rotary District 5440 Conference in Scottsbluff. By engaging many Rotarians, Tony has presided over a historic year with administrative update of our club constitution and bylaws, increase in membership, execution of international projects, confirmation of a meeting location and a general rise in energy in the club. District Governor Chuck and District Governor Elect Chris presented the award last Friday.
Thank you Tony for all your work.
