Fort Morgan Rotary Works To Make Community More Bicycle Friendly
The Fort Morgan Rotary Club is working to make Fort Morgan a more “Bicycle Friendly” community! 
 
A bicycle repair station has been installed at the Brenda Joy Skate Park and the Rotary Club is planning to install two additional stations, one at Riverside Park and another at the Ft. Morgan Field House.
Grant funding from the Rotary District has been secured for one of these stations and funds for the second are being raised by the Rotary Club through a drawing for a brand-new e-bike, a $2,800 value.
 
The drawing for this e-bike will take place at the Thursday Night Concert in the Park, August 11th. You do not have to be present to win.
 
Tickets are available at the Rotary table at the weekly Thursday night concerts, by scanning the QR code below, or at https://fortmorganrotaryclub.square.site/. You will receive one entry into the drawing with a $10 donation, three entries into the drawing for $25, or six entries for $50.
Help the Fort Morgan Rotary Club make our community more bicycle-friendly by providing bicycle repair stations for the public.
 
The Fort Morgan Rotary Club would like to thank the following sponsors for their support of this project:
McDonald Chrysler/ Dodge/ Jeep/ Ram/ Toyota of Ft. Morgan, Viaero, 21st Century Equipment, Bicycle Adventure, Bank of Colorado, Brush State Bank, Golden Belt Bank, Colorado Cold Correct, and the Cover4 Theater.

Do you know where your vanilla comes from?
Today the Rotary Club heard from Zach Schwindt of Origin Vanilla (www.originvanilla.com), a local businessman who is working with smallholder vanilla bean farmers around the world to give them greater access to markets. Origin vanilla can be purchased on their website or here locally at The Flower Petaler. We enjoyed Zach's story of how his company started and his plans for the future. Best of luck, Zach!
Christmas Gift Bags for Seniors
Today for Rotary we found out more about the meals delivery program for seniors in our area. Over 3K meals are delivered every month by volunteers. Our club delivers meals every Friday. Towards the end of the meeting we put together gift bags organized by our very own Carol Johnson to deliver to our seniors on the Friday before Christmas. Many thanks to all of our club volunteers and to the many other community volunteers that help to make Fort Morgan's Meet and Eat program a success!
