On a bright Saturday Morning, August 29, 2026 SHRC hosted staff, students, and parents from Jewell Elementary in our 25th Annual Special Things For Special Kids (ST4SK)! ST4SK chair Darryl Harvey has been running this program all 25 years and deserves special KUDOS! 36 students received over $200 each in clothing of their (and their parents') choice. I think a few juice boxes and doughnuts might have been involved as well! I call the pictures of the kiddos "Wilson Pictures" from the old show "Home Improvement." IYKYK! Thumbs up from all the kiddos!
The Celebration of Life for James Fletcher will be on Thursday, July 16th, at 10:00 AM at Horan and McConaty Mortuary's Rocky Mountain Memorial Park, 11150 East Dartmouth Avenue, Aurora, Colorado 80014.
We hope to see you there to say goodbye to our friend.

On Saturday, Sept. 6, we hosted about 37 kids from Jewell Elementary for our annual school clothing shopping. Jewell's staff was a huge help as well! Lots of smiles were had by all!Sixty six golfers and 15 Rotarians enjoyed Common Ground Golf Course on Friday August 1st. Check out the pics in the Photo Albums! Come join us and do great things in Aurora and the World!
Saturday, September 7 featured Smoky Hill Rotarians, Friends, and Family joining Jewell Elementary Staff, Parents, and their Kids for School Clothes Shopping! About 35 students were treated to a $200 budget for shopping for clothes for the schoolyear. Besides the great students' smiles and happy parents maybe the highlight was seeing the students hug their teachers and staff when they arrived on Saturday morning. Donuts and Orange Juice got things started and then the shopping began. Four hours later we had happy students, staff, parents, and Rotarians! Thanks to Past President Darryl Harvey for leading this event for 22 years! A great start to President Linda Forsythe's year as well. Click on the Photo Album Link Below to the Right!{
Smoky Hill Rotary has been extremely active in International Service including being the parent club of the Iradea, Romania club who we have partnered with for several projects. Our International Committee has partnered with multiple Rotary Clubs around the globe to complete these projects including being the Sponsoring Club for a successful Global Grant Project in Beius, Romania! SHRC may be small but we are MIGHTY!
Smoky Hill recently had a powerful live program from Romania featuring our long-time friend Dacien Coita. Attached is a link to his PowerPoint.

Smoky Hill has sent $2000 to the Oradea, Romania Rotary Club to support their hands-on work with Ukrainian Refugees. We will send at least $3000 more in early April due to our fundraising efforts. We know our funds will be put to good use because we have personally worked with the Oradea Club and its members for over 20 years. Pictured is a family fleeing Ukraine on the way to Budapest and Prague, after being helped in Oradea.
Smoky Hill is proud to announce we have awarded four Vocational Scholarships to T. H. Pickens Vocational College students. The scholarships are $2000 each and are awarded on a needs and merit basis. Vocational Scholarships support students learning the skills and abilities to excel in their chosen vocations. Many of these students work while taking classes and raising families so our support is essential to their success. Congratulations to the awardees!
Dacian Coita, Oradea, Romania Rotary Club joined our meeting via Zoom and talked about the successful implementation of the urology equipment at the hospital in Beius - our Global Grant project from three years ago. Smoky Hill and our partners in Rotary raised over $117,000 to provide state-of-the-art urology equipment to allow kidney issues to be treated locally in Beius. The local water source facilitates the creation of kidney stones, increasing the need for kidney treatments.
Smoky Hill Members participated in the Woohoomanity Challenge, riding our bikes from 25 to 105 miles the last Saturday in September to raise money for Smoky Hill. Thanks to all who participated!
Thanks to our small but mighty Smoky Hill Rotary Club's $1000 donation, a District 5450 COVID-19 matching graft to SHRC for an additional $1000, and a similar donation from Denver Rotary we were able to help Comitis Crisis Center purchase a sorely needed new commercial refrigerator.Smoky Hill Sees the Fruits of its nearly $150,000 (total expense) Global Grant Project in Beius, Romania. The Rotary International Global Grant funded by several Rotary Clubs all around the world purchased and installed brand new urology equipment in the hospital in Beius.
