Coming up on Saturday at the Garden of the Gods Club is Flight, our annual fundraiser to support our Service Fund with special support for D11.

Also a note of thanks to all of the members who provided silent auction items, bottles of wine for the wine pull, sold raffle tickets, and helped at the events.
Hope to see you Saturday evening at the Garden of the Gods Club.
I hope all is well with you. I am happy to report I just finished my first Rotary event in England, the Rotary Scholars Link Weekend in Warwick. It was nearly 54 scholars from across 12 countries. A lovely and brilliant crew -- from designers working at the intersection of design and health to doctors to statisticians to nuclear weapon lawyers, it was a fascinating group.
We had a session on public speaking, British culture, culture shock, and the work of Rotary in Great Britain and Ireland. We also met some local club members and were treated to fish and chips and some nice English puddings.
Overall, it was incredibly humbling to be amongst such prestigious Rotary scholars and made me feel privileged to be a part of this year's cohort.
Are you too big to dig in the dirt or talk to the animals? We hope not, because we’d like your help with a Rotary effort on Tuesday, Oct. 11. The time commitment is four hours, from 8:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
