The Rotary Four Way Test program was recently taught to the freshman students at Longmont High School. Twenty-five Rotarians gatheredin classrooms to share the principles of the 4-Way Test, explaining its value in guiding sound business practices-really its a useful tool for meeting all of life's challenges and opportunities.  The students were presented with real life scenarios, and using the 4-Way test matrix, they strategized solutions.   It's been three years since we have conducted the 4-Way Test, (given the pandemic).  It's nice to be back with the students! 

Kennedy Walker is the Marketing and Development Manager at Growing Gardens.  This busy non-profit has farms in Longmont and Boulder, offering community residents an opportunity to garden, enhance horticulture skills and attend cooking classes.  They also have a goat dairy farm (and yes, they also offer goat yoga!). Farm stands are open to the public. Growing Gardens’ programs empower people of all ages, income levels, and abilities by reconnecting them with their local food systems.  Thousands of pounds of produce, as well as plant starts and seeds, are donated to low income community members to support greater food security and hunger relief in our community.  Their newest pilot farm in Longmont was made possible by Bethlehem Lutheran Church.  The donated land is currently under development and Growing Gardens is raising funds for the completion of this project.  Volunteers are an important element of their success.  If you are interested in learning more about Growing Gardens or to volunteer, click on this LINK.
