Our program on August 16th will be our fellow club Rotarian, Andy Lee, who will share some of his vast work in wildlife photography including his trip to Africa.   

 

Lunch is served at 12noon and the club meeting begins at 12:30pm (we adjourn at 1:30pm) 

 

 

 Students shared their experiences at the recent Rotary Leadership camp. We also sent a student to the World Affairs Conference in Waukesha, WI, (Carroll University). RYLA is an intensive leadership experience organized by Rotary where students can develop their skills as a leader while having fun and making new friends and connections.   This annual event (held in Estes Park), is offered to qualifying junior high and high school students. Students always recall the camp fondly, talking about their favorite group activities, new friendships formed, along with building confidence and leadership skills.  

The World Affairs Seminar provides students a global perspective on world affairs, offering seminars and speakers from around the world, talking about current crucial topics.  

Grace Smathers, a previous RYLA participant and now Camp Counselor, announced the opportunity for Rotarians to volunteer for next year's RYLA camps.  If you are interested, please email Grace at gracesmathers@gmail.com.   

 

 

Congratulations to these students.  It was exciting to hear about their experiences and how it inspired them.  As Debby Paris said,  "I know the future is in good hands".

Congratulations Dale Sherrod on receiving this week's Rotary Club STAR Award.  With usual humility, Dale was left wondering, "why me?".  Andy reminded him of his many contributions to the club and his professional work as an Obstetrician.  Next week Dale will have the opportunity to present the STAR Award to another club Rotarian.  The STAR Award is a way to recognize and learn about club members and the ways in which they serve.   

 Longmont Rotary is participating in this Rotary District fundraiser. Held September 24th in Denver, this event offers the opportunity to participate by cycling or volunteering on the day of the event. 

The Longmont Club is raising funds by sponsoring our cyclists (so far Sue Bolton and Debbie Setlock), by donating funds to our club for local club service projects. More details to follow.
