Hello Rotarians! 

 

 

Welcome to the 2025 -2026 program year.

Rotary International is shifting away from themes towards an

overarching and unifying message.  

 

The message this year is:

Unite for Good

Wings of Change Raffle Tickets

Each year, we count on your support for our Wings of Change Fundraiser by asking members to purchase or sell at least 10 raffle tickets. This year, we’re making it even easier—with the option to purchase tickets electronically!

If you’d like to buy raffle tickets online, simply email Ed Janezek at

ed.altuswealthgroup.com and we’ll take care of the rest.

Physical tickets will also be available for pickup at our meetings

starting this week.

IMPACT CLUB

You're invited to join us at an Impact Club meeting!


We gather on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month from 7:30 to 8:30 AM at the Black Bear Diner on Garden of the Gods Road. It’s a great opportunity to connect with fellow Rotarians, enjoy meaningful conversation, and learn about upcoming service projects. Guests are always welcome!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Whitney Memorial Golf Tournament is fast approaching!

If you plan to attend lunch after the tournament, please RSVP ASAP as the Country Club needs a head count a bit earlier than usual. 


Join us on July 28th at the Country Club of Colorado for a fun-filled day of golf in support of a great cause. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or just out for a good time, all skill levels are welcome!
Gather a foursome or register solo—we’ll match you with a team.

Ready to play? Scan the QR code to sign up.
Consider sponsoring a youth player to help them join the fun.

For questions or sponsorship info, see Randy Stiles.

Sir Edmund Hillary:
"It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves."
This quote connects with the challenges Rotary members
willingly take on for personal growth and societal benefit.
