Their presentation will provide an overview and update of programs and services of EVICS Family Resource Center, with a specific highlight of the Bilingual Storytime Project, the collaborative program funded by the Rotary Club.

Laurie Dale Marshall has worked in the nonprofit sector for 30 years developing and leading programs to serve others. Laurie is always an advocate, using her superpower of connection to build community and empower through opportunities.  Laurie raised her three children (Lincoln, Emma, and Georgia) in Lawrence, KS before moving to Estes Park in 2013 by way of 14 summers at Cheley Colorado Camps, and is excited for her new role as Lala to granddaughter, Chloe.

Angelina Kirkpatrick and her husband, Jesse and daughter, Reagan moved to Estes Park from California.  Angelina has worked with children and families in various capacities in her career.  Angelina supports families via our Family Development program, connecting families to the services they need to reach goals they set for themselves and to build on existing strengths.  She also helps families navigate accessing childcare and early education, provides developmental assessments, and supports social emotional education across home and educational environments.

Update by President Dennis Gellhaus
 
There is so much to learn about Rotary!  As I approach the end of being club president, I feel I am still learning about all of the ins and outs of this organization.  So many worthwhile projects to be involved in - its difficult to pick and choose.  I believe our club has a good balance of projects that we are involved in and continue to serve.
 
I just read in the May Rotary magazine about a CART project. “Coins for Alzheimer’s Research Trust”.  Raising funds for Alzheimer’s research is certainly another worthy project.  We have countless opportunities to do good in the world!  That’s what we are all about.  Thanks for your dedication as Rotarians!  I hope you get a chance to be inspired this coming week with District Conference in our back yard.
 
Thanks for listening
Dennis

Longley Parker Caught a BIG Fish!!
 
Musky
 
Longley reported he had just returned from northern Minnesota fishing trip. Walleye and Perch fishing was poor but he did manage to catch and release a fish of a life time..50+ inch, 30+lb Musky.  Time with his son, brother and nephews was priceless!

Here is a picture of that Musky.  My husband wanted to see it OUT of the water!  When I told that to Longley he said he had never had Musky and his nephew said they didn’t have much flavor.  Besides, it was “catch and release”.

Congratulations Longley!
