Bonnie Thomas is heading to Ghana to do a hospital/clinic assessment for Project CURE. She is taking with her CURE kits of medical supplies that are available to anyone traveling to places in need. For years, our Rotary club has provided volunteers and financial support to Denver’s Project CURE. Ghana is a country of 33 million in West Africa where access to medical supplies and services is an ongoing challenge.

Rob Miller spoke on April 16 to report back to us about the clean water initiatives in Rwanda and thank us for our support. It’s hard to imagine any Rotary projects with a more direct, measurable, and numerically significant impact to the human beings we serve through our club than a program to improve water quality. Rob McMaher announced that On April 30 at 6 PM to 8 PM there’s a special reception and fund raiser at the DENVER BOTANIC GARDENS with a film premiere hosed by Rob Miller and team. The film, called HEALING WATERS, highlights the success of the program across Latin America. Tickets are free. Click here to REGISTER.

The Service Above Self Award is Rotary’s highest individual honor. Each governor or director may nominate only one candidate, and a maximum of 150 recipients are selected worldwide. In 2025, just 132 Rotarians were chosen — 132 out of 1.2 million members globally. That makes Steve one of approximately one in every 9,000 Rotarians to receive this distinction. A longtime member of Denver Southeast, Steve has served Rotary at the club, district, and international levels. He is widely recognized for his leadership advancing Rotary’s mission in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). Known affectionately as “The Godfather of WASH,” Steve founded District 5450’s WASH Local Action Group, sponsoring 16 annual WASH Symposiums. He has also played key leadership roles with the WASH Rotarian Action Group, the Rotary WASH Ambassadors Program, and the Peaceful Schools Initiative.

The Village Health Partnership (VHP), a non-profit chartered in 2013 and based in Denver was selected as the International Service Committee signature project for the next 3 years. VHP serves people in remote southwest Ethiopia. Its work regarding maternal health care and WASH -- two of Rotary's foci -- is central to its mission of safer motherhood. Clinics and small rural hospitals are featured. Our assistance will help to cover the training of nurse midwives in seven new target villages and clinics. These professionals are the primary caregivers for pregnant women; very few doctors and nurses are available. A six-person DSE committee, all with Ethiopian interests, will advise.

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 former member, 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.
