Our condolences to the Skeie family.
 

 
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
Dmitri Galcovski - Youth/New Generation Services
Karen Thompson - Fund Development
Karol Rinehart - Club Administration
Randy Skeie - 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!

April 20, 2017 Meeting Notes
 
The meeting was called to order by President Thor, followed by an invocation by Bruce Carmichael and a song and the pledge led by Dave Evans. There were no guests or visiting Rotarians.
After a halfway decent joke Scott Thompson displayed a poster designed by Herb Mignery for the first Duck Race. Herb will sign it and the poster will be given to the museum.
