President Peter Sinnott called the meeting to order at noon.
Carol Grasso led the invocation. Rev. Earl Matson led club members in the song, “This Land Is Your Land,” and the Pledge of Allegiance. Jack Vaughan introduced guests: Sarah Holdt, Fred Mars, Cathy Whitacre and Paula Foster.
Peter Sinnott noted that the “fantastic” turnout at the last few meetings is the result of the hard work of Marcia Logan and Guy Van der Werf, program chairpersons.
Bob Brunson announced that his son, a veterinarian, would be presenting a program at the Estes Valley Library next week on animal anesthesiology.
Pete Sumey pointed out fliers on each table for “It’s Showtime!” The production, on February 28 and March 1, needs Rotary sponsors because ads will not be sold for the program. Tickets will be available at the Feb. 6 meeting.
Earl Matson asked for volunteers to help deliver posters for “It’s Showtime!” to local businesses.
Madison Casey invited all to the Car Club Sock Hop on Jan. 25, and noted that each table had fliers with details of the event.
Members were asked to sign a card with get-well wishes for Jane Harroff and to buy chances in the Super Bowl raffle.
Happy Money: John Ericson said as there is no meeting next week, this is the last chance to buy a box for the Super Bowl raffle and invited all to take an Estes Park Self Storage 2014 calendar.
Brad Rosenbaum introduced the program on Colorado Life Magazine, and the presenters: Publisher Chris Amundson, Staff Writers Matt Masich and Sarah Holdt and Staff Photographer Joshua Hardin. With 8,000 subscribers and 20,000 copies sold on newsstands, the publication covers the state “peaks to plains, past to present.”
At the conclusion of the program the presenters signed a book for the Estes Valley Library, The Things I Can Do.
Peter Sinnott ended the meeting at 12:51 p.m. with the recitation of The Four-Way Test and a reminder that there would be no meeting on Jan. 30.
