Announcements

The Rotary Clubs of Fort Collins are excited to present the sixth annual Fort Collins Peach Festival August 20th, 2016 at CSU's Hughes Stadium!

This event will offer:

  • Peaches from Palisade!
  • 5K Run/Walk
  • Children's Activities
  • Great Entertainment
  • Peach Pies
  • Live Music
  • Delicious Food & Beverages
  • Business Booths
  • And PEACH themed events all day long
  • This event is one you won't want to miss! Please stay tuned to our website to get more information.
The Peach Festival will now run until 6:00 PM rather than 4:00 PM as it has in past years.
TIPS training for serving alcohol will be announced soon.  If you will be serving beer, margaritas or checking ID's you must have TIPS training.  Training is valid for two years.
 
Troy Tafoya thanked all nineteen Rotarians that helped with the highway clean up on Saturday. The clean-up took an hour and fifteen minutes, a member of the club commented that he again saw trash on the highway this week so you will have two more opportunities to help with highway clean up yet this year.

Del Benson mentioned the next wildlife outing will be to Cheyenne, Wyoming August 20th to visit the Old West Museum and possibly the Children’s Rotary Park in Cheyenne. Warren Wilson will help with the visas and inoculations required to cross the border into Wyoming.

Erin Mounsey offered a reminder that 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.

Last Week's Program - CDC

Noting that our scheduled speaker might have been called away at the last minute, Rotarian Ralph Smith changed his planned introduction into a description of the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and it's role in Colorado. In the 1950's, he said, a large Boy Scout jamboree in Colorado Springs experienced a major strep epidemic that resulted in a CDC laboratory being set up in the foothills of Fort Collins as a research facility that aged and then was rebuilt for millions of dollars.
