Johnny Matsushima Steak Fry at Lee Martinez Park!

NO WEDNESDAY NOON ROTARY MEETING THIS WEEK! – Instead, this week’s meeting will start at 5:00 Wednesday at the Lee Martinez Farm. Jim Harper and the Rural/Urban Committee are our hosts again this year. So that we’ll have enough food, please make sure you have registered your attendance with Jim, Judy Boggs or Sue Wagner.

The Rotary Club of Fort Collins maintains the Rotary Farm Heritage Museum at the Farm under the mission of the Rural/Urban Committee. The Rotary Farm Heritage Museum has three major sections. The Museum building has over thirty exhibits of tools and equipment ranging from scythes, hay knives and ice saws to one-legged milking stools, chicken blinders and blacksmith tools.

The second section of the Rotary Farm Heritage Museum is the North Forty. This one acre area contains large pieces of equipment such as plows, harrows, grain mills, a hammer mill, a binder and a threshing machine.

The third section of the Rotary Farm Museum is Art's Tool Shed, named in memory and in honor of Rotarian Art Wilcox who volunteered thousands of hours over 20 years to establish, build and fund the museum.

Again this year, John Matsushima, Professor Emeritus of Animal Nutrition of the CSU Department of Animal Sciences made arrangements for the steaks, and will do the grilling. Amy Brackenbury and Friends will provide music, and lots of good food, good conversation and good fellowship are in store.
