The end of the Rotary year was celebrated with a dinner on Sunday evening, June 12. President Betsy thanked the Board for their help and support during the year. Past President Darryl is not in the picture.
Each year, Smoky Hill Rotary Club recognizes a member for their service and gives them the Gary Fletcher Award. This year, Jeff and Lori Kaes were honored for their joint duties as Treasurer. The Club is grateful to Lori for volunteering to manage the records and billing.
Craig Essex volunteered to lead the Club as President for the next Rotary year. He gave Betsy a plaque and a pin commemorating her year.

Smoky Hill Rotary Golf Just Around the Corner!
Registration is now open to play in the Smoky Hill Rotary Golf Tournament on August 5. Brochures are available and the information is on the web site: www.portal.clubrunner.ca. This our major fund-raiser for the year. It’s not too early to ask friends and family to support our Club. It’s up to us to make it a success!
Raffle Items Needed-
An integral part of the Golf Fundraiser is the raffle. We need items to raffle off! Some suggestions:
Gift baskets are a big item. Make your own or contribute items to be assembled into baskets. Wine and wine related items are always a welcome donation.
Gift certificates to hotels and restaurants.
Gift certificates to golf courses.
You can contact Talee Crowe for any questions or ideas for great auction items. She will be in charge of assembling gift baskets, etc. but will accept help if offered.
Polio Plus Day at the Rockies
From Peg Johnston, District PolioPlus Committee:
The District PolioPlus Committee has again set up a special section for Rotarians & guests, Sunday, Aug. 21, for the CO Rockies vs S.F. Giants, in Coors Stadium. The plan is to raise funds for PolioPlus. Discounted tickets will be $31 ($5 for Polio) and seats are located on the lower level, Sections 144-146 . The link to purchase tickets thru Ticketmaster is http://www.Rockies.com/ROTARY .
If we sell 300 tickets or more, our District Governor, and a couple of people he chooses, will have the opportunity to briefly speak from the field, prior to the start of the game. This will hopefully entice some of the attendees to learn more about Rotary and potentially bring new members. The District PolioPlus Committee will also man a table on the main concourse to share information.
