Mark your calendars- June 10th is the annual Rotary Business Day Out!
This special event allows Rotary members the opportunity to connect with local business owners instead of our regular club meeting. Club members will choose one preselected business to visit. On June 10th, instead of going to our regular club meeting location, you go to the business you chose, have lunch with them, and learn more about this local business. Watch for the Signup sheets coming soon!
This is an opportunity to come together to share and collaborate for the upcoming 2025-2026 Rotary year. Club Members, Committee Chairs, and Club Officers can learn and engage in the topics below -(click here for the detailed session descriptions) :
The honored tradition of the Slick Haley Awards continued with the recognition of four outstanding high school students. The award is given to students who have overcome adversity while still achieving academic success. Dr. Al Carr shared the story of Dr. James “Slick” Haley—an accomplished athlete, physician, and dedicated Rotarian. Known as the “Paonia Peach” for his athletic achievements at CU. During WW II, Slick served three years as an Army surgeon, receiving his nickname for becoming an accomplished surgeon, performing surgeries for a very large Mash-like hospital quickly and effectively. Slick later pursued medicine and became Longmont’s first surgeon. A longtime Rotary member, he was passionate about helping young people succeed. Dr. Carr concluded, “You are receiving this award in the name of a truly outstanding individual—Rotarian, surgeon, and community leader."
Rotarian Ken Kanemoto opened this year’s Student Compassion Awards by introducing the honorees to the legacy of his father, Jimmy Kanemoto—a true symbol of compassion.
The Tower of Compassion in Longmont’s Kanemoto Park reflects five levels of compassion: Love, Empathy, Understanding, Gratitude, and Selfless Giving. The Kanemoto family donated seven acres of land to the City of Longmont in 1966, with the tower, also a gift to the city, symbolizing the family's gratitude for the kindness shown to their family during World War II, when many Japanese Americans were placed in internment camps.
Now celebrating its 50th anniversary, the Tower of Compassion holds local historic designation and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The students honored this year truly embody the spirit of compassion through their words, actions, and leadership.
New Meridian student Brooke Salyards was recognized for her quiet strength and empathy. As her nominator shared, “You can see Brooke’s compassion in the little things—she listens to understand, not just to respond.”
From Skyline High School, Rosalinda Rojas lives by the mantra “Kindness costs nothing.” She acknowledged the importance of community, saying, “We can do nothing without the support of those around us.”
Luna Ready, of Longmont High School, demonstrates compassion by creating inclusive classroom spaces for elementary students who face language barriers.
Josephine Nguyen, representing Silver Creek High School, chose to donate her award funds to the Sibling Support Project, reflecting her deep commitment to supporting others.
Each student received $500, with an additional $500 donated to the nonprofit of their choice.
Congratulations to these outstanding students and the school mentors who helped guide and nurture their compassion into action.
