Ampt Biking Amputee Outreach Program
 
Our program this week will be held in person, but a Zoom link will be provided. Click on the link below to be admitted. 
 
 
My name is Matthew Bell and I've been an amputee for 45 years. I grew up in a military family on or around Air Force bases most my life. In 2008 I got into mountain biking to help get in better shape. What I found was a community that was accepting and wonderfully supportive of anybody and everybody that joined. Over the years I would bring anybody and everybody I could into the mountain biking community. Recently I created Ampt biking amputee outreach program that allows for amputees to come out for a day event with their peers to be able to experience the camaraderie of the mountain biking community. We are now in our second season and the event coming up in August will be our third event. We've had amazing response from the communities we've been in and the participants themselves. Our goal is to reach out to anybody and everybody that is struggling with mental, emotional, and physical challenges that come with one loss.

A Toast to Rita and Phil!
 
A good time was had by all.  A toast to Rita DuChateau occurred a little after 6 PM with Scott Thompson FaceTiming Rita and Phil.  Here is what Rita had to say about it!
 
 
"Dear Rotary Friends,
It was a special treat to see you all lift a glass to me at Friday's gathering. We were delighted to join you by FaceTime from Madison, Wisconsin where we quaffed a local brew in an Oskar Blues glass, symbolic of our move. We will hold dear the memories of our time with you and hope to return often to the landscape and friends that brought us so much joy for nine years.
Our tentative moving date is Aug. 27, so I'll see you at the Legion for a few more meetings.
Fondly,
RotaryRita
Rita DuChateau"
