Chick Fil A is sponsoring breakfast so we need 2 Rotarians to pick up breakfast at 7:45am at the Chick Fil A at 3605 S College

The rest of the Rotarians can meet at Timberline Church - First Floor Student Center by East Entrance to interact with the children, chaperones and members of Finally Home before they enjoy their day at Sky Corral

Hello Rotarians!  This sign-up is open.  Come help build a Gaga Ball area at the Jack Nicol Cub Scout Camp near Red Feather.  Very basic construction skills are needed.  If you can follow instructions on where to drive screws and hammer nails, then sign up!  We will also have the fun task of demolishing the old gaga ball pit.  (Gaga ball is an outdoor game that kids play, kind of like dodge ball mixed with handball in an enclosed "pen")  Come check it out!  

This Volunteer Service Project is part of an approved District Grant to fund a replacement Gaga Ball structure (an outdoor game for kids) at the Jack Nicol Cub Scout Camp near Red Feather Lakes.  The old gaga ball structure is falling apart and a new one is needed in order for the camp to keep it's status as a S.A.F.E. camp and for future youth to enjoy.  The new gaga ball structure will be dedicated in memory of long-time Rotarian and daughter-in-law of the Camp's namesake, Kathy Nicol.  We will need volunteers to help demo the old gaga ball structure and construct the new one from a kit.  Lunch will be included for all volunteers.  We may also have some Scouts volunteering with us!

Estimated number of volunteers needed:  10 to 15+

Estimated time:  6 hours with lunch included

Things to bring:  Work gloves, closed toe shoes, layers for a variety of weather, long pants, eye protection.  We may need some Rotarians to bring circular saws and cordless drills if you have them.

Sign up is open!

Please help re-wrap diapers for those families in need:  Wear closed-toe shoes,  your "Be the Good" volunteer T-shirt. and bring your own water bottle. Nappie entrance is near the SW corner of the Food Bank warehouse. Free.

Plan and deliver food baskets (bags) to needy residents in homes and apartments who are clients of our partners such as Finally Home and two others with food items for a Thanksgiving meal. This is a repeat of the successful Christmas Basket project last year. Rotary volunteers are needed for various tasks including planning the project ahead of time, transporting food from participating local food stores to a our temporary "workshop" (Group Real Estate office on Mullberry) on Friday, and on Saturday assembling the items into individual bags for each recipient, and each driver (and co-pilot) delivering individual bags to about 50 chosen residents in the Northern Front Range.  Click on the blue button on the left of this page to go to the signup page to signup for one or more of the tasks listed. Use the Calender event on Friday to sign up to pickup the food.  Call the Event Chair (David) if you have questions about the event and call Colin if you have signup problems.
