overarching and unifying message.
The message this year is:

IMPACT Meeting
You're invited to join us at an Impact meeting!
We gather on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. at the Black Bear Diner, located on Garden of the Gods Road. It’s an excellent opportunity to connect with fellow Rotarians, engage in meaningful conversations, and learn about upcoming service projects. Guests are always welcome!

National Wreaths Across America Day at Evergreen Cemetery
Join us in honoring veterans on National Wreaths Across America Day! We’ll gather at Evergreen Cemetery on Saturday, December 13th at 10:00 a.m. to lay wreaths on the graves of those who served our country.
This year, Rotary is participating in Wreaths Across America’s “$5 Back” program—for every wreath sponsored through our group, the Service Fund will receive $5 to support our own community service projects.
We’ll begin promoting wreath sponsorships in October and plan to “Adopt a Block,” setting a goal for the number of wreaths our group will sponsor and place on Wreath Laying Day.
➡️ Volunteer or Sponsor Wreaths Here
Help us remember, honor, and teach—while supporting local service initiatives!
