Smoky Hill International ProjectsSmoky 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!

SHRC Cools Comitis with New Refrigerator! 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. |
Beius, Romania Rotary Global Grant ProjectSmoky 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.   |
Valentine's Day at the Ronald McDonald HouseSmoky Hill Rotarians cooked a great homestyle meal for the residents at the Ronald McDonald House in Aurora. The Ronald McDonald House provides a place for families to stay who have a child in long-term care at Children's Hospital. By providing a meal and lending an ear Rotarians take a tiny bit of the burden of having a child in the hospital away from the family. This year we also provided a Valentine's Day opportunity for kids to make Valentines for their family. And there might have been a bit of face painting going on as well.

2020 Charter NightHappy Birthday to us, Happy Birthday to us, Happy Birthday Smoky Hill Rotarians! Happy Birthday to us! Our Club just celebrated our 37th birthday on January 25th at the Athenian Restaurant in Aurora. After a great BIG Greek meal, we all gave a birthday toast in Greek lead by Nikko, the owner of the restaurant, with a shot of Ouzo! A great time was had by all and many commented on the great conversations and friendships we all enjoyed that night. Special 37th Birthday Thanks to Charter Member Terry Remigio and Linda for all the decorations and birthday poster on the door. Great job! Reflections on 37 Years: As time marches on, things change. Our membership has remained steady for the last few years but we are now starting to see things happen, some of which are beyond our control, that has dropped our membership to below 30. We are now at 29 and will lose one more this March and maybe one more by the end of the Rotary Year. So, in the next five months, we have to focus on new members. The pipeline is starting to fill but we need more. I encourage you to talk about Rotary and what we do that will attract people who want to give back. If you are not comfortable introducing Rotary to a friend or acquaintance, give the name to me or Jeff Kaes and we will do the "heavy lifting." Show this newsletter to your spouse or significant other to double your circle of contacts and possible new members. When I get back from Romania at our meeting on February 10th, let's pack the place with guests that can be potential new members. We have always risen to every challenge that Smoky Hill has faced. There is no greater challenge than the need to grow the club. Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you on the 10th! President Hugh Radke.
