Last week was so inspiring when District Governor Becky Smith did our presentation. I really appreciate her and the leadership she provides. I hope you all liked the program as well.
Just 2 days until our club's biggest fundraiser of the year! FLIGHT 2021 will be here before we know it!
The other way to find the program is to go to YouTube and search for Rotary Club Colorado Springs. You'll get right into it!
During the broadcast on Saturday, please send your Twitter comments and pics to #CSFLIGHT2021 and we will post them and share them on the live stream.
If you haven't seen the beautiful butterflies and dragonflies and the silent auction Petites and baskets, take a look at the online catalog here: https://online.flippingbook.com/view/643426627/
This week's Random Awesome Deed suggestion is to ask "How are you?" then actually listen to someone tell you how they are. I did this as an experiment at one time and was shocked at what I learned. I heard how that person felt. I heard what that person was going through and I heard how I could support them. Sometimes I think our ears are our best tool for doing life. I challenge you (and me!) to use them a little more this next week than usual. Believe me when I say that you will learn a lot!
Now let's go forth, be great stewards of Rotary and Catalysts of Caring in our Community!
Please be well, be safe, and be kind. There are a lot of people out there needing just that.
We are unable to Zoom this week for the weekly meeting on Friday, Sept 24. There is potential interference with what our FLIGHT 2021 producer has set up for the broadcast on Sat, Sept 25. We will be back to offering the Zoom component on Friday, Oct 1!

As you're doing your shopping online, did you know that you can support our Rotary Club with every Amazon purchase? Here’s how:
Go to smile.amazon.com (not amazon.com). Amazon Smile is the same company, same account, same password, but the Amazon Smile program gives one half of one percent of every purchase to charity. No, it’s not a lot, but it’s also not nuthin’ (to be exact: about $150 for the Club so far). So again, go to smile.amazon.com
Sign into your Amazon account as you normally would
On the very top left of the page, next to the AmazonSmile logo, are three horizontal bars. Click there for the drop-down menu.
Scroll ALL the way down to “Your AmazonSmile”; it should be the last option right before “Sign Out”; Click on “Your AmazonSmile”
On the right side of the page, click on the “change charity” box under Your current charity (Note: If you are currently supporting another charity, that’s awesome! These instructions are for those who are not doing so. Also, if you have not previously selected a charity, your default option will be St. Judge Children’s Research Hospital.)
Type in Community Service Fund of the Rotary Club of Colorado Springs; click Select
That’s it. You’re all set. Just remember to go to Smile.Amazon.com when you shop from now on.
