4th Thursday groups meet this week
 
The real work of a club happens at the committee level, and this week's meeting will give everyone the chance to engage in this important work. Following lunch and a brief business meeting, members will gather in groups related to their interests.
 
You can see what you indicated as your area of interest at the bottom of your Spoke every week. But, fear not! It's never too late to join in, try something new, or simply "shop" for a group.
 
Here are the club members who will lead the small group work at Thursday's meeting:
 
Dave Evans - International Service
Sue Fereday - Youth/New Generation Services
Karen Thompson - Fund Development
Karol Rinehart - Club Administration
Bill Solms - Sargeant-at-Arms
Rick Taylor - Programs
Scott Thompson - Membership
Roger Thorp - Community Service
 
Bring your energy, your ideas and your willingness to help the Rotary Club of Estes Park be a better club for all of its members. You can make a difference!

Rotary Quote of the Week
 
1.4 billion people live on less than $1.25 a day. Rotarians are helping grow local economies by offering vocational training opportunities, partnering with local micro-lenders, and providing equipment to help businesses expand. When you give to The Rotary Foundation, you make this good work possible."
