Announcements

Venue and Facilities team reported that the Club has given the MAC 120 days notice and we will be moving our meeting location to the Drake Center, beginning November 1. Rainbow Catering will be providing meals! This is the caterer that provided meals when the club met at the Lincoln Center. The Drake Center has been able to address the facility issues that we had when we met their previously.

The next Outdoors Fellowship trip will be August 27th. Stay tuned for details.

We are in need of volunteers to help with the Rotogear.

A photographer to back up Kelly Kesler when he cannot be here.
An announcement editor to help with getting the weekly announcements into the bulletin.
Anyone with ideas of how to improve either or both the website and the written edition of the Rotogear.

Please contact Randy, Erin or Kelly.

Don Eversoll is looking for Courtesy Cart drivers for the hospitals at least 2 hour a week. This is
a great way to give back and get a little fresh air. If the warm weather bothers you he also is
looking for volunteers for the information desks. Don will have sign-up the next two weeks for
both opportunities.

The Rotary Club of Fort Collins is now part of the Colorado Gives program which supports year-around giving via the web. Colorado Gives operates a web site promoting giving to 1800 Colorado nonprofit organizations. In addition to providing up-to-date information about our club, it provides additional visibility and publicity for our Club’s activities. All donations will go to increase the Legacy Fund which is an endowment to support the Club’s charitable activities into the future. Check it out by logging onto ColoradoGives.org and searching for Rotary Club of Fort Collins Charities, Inc.

Interest from our Legacy Fund helps sustain RCFC Charitable Projects. Help build the Legacy Fund to $1,000,000 by our 100th birthday in 2018. Look for this blue badge for information.
