For a very long time, a neighbor of Eric Nelson’s encouraged him to investigate joining a Rotary Club. And, more recently, one of our new members, Malcolm Newton, introduced Eric to our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion chat group. Eric has attended several of these chats and has attended several of our weekly meetings. As a result, Eric was very impressed with our club and is excited to join DSE Rotary. Eric’s education and experience are impressive, ranging from being an addiction counselor, holding public office, serving as a minister, and being a business entrepreneur. He currently owns and operates a Farmer’s Insurance agency. Eric is married and has 3 children and 7 grandchildren.

Do you have a succinct explanation of Rotary when someone asks you- what some would call an "elevator speech"? Here is a possible response, authored by Jim Creamer:
Rotary is an international organization dedicated to the service of mankind. Denver Southeast Rotary Club is an active organization of men and women providing domestic and international assistance to others far and wide. And we have fun doing it with fellowship for our members and with a sense of ethics as outlined in the Four Way Test.
