Service Above Self Event (Thursday)
This Thursday evening will be our Annual Service Above Self event at the Lincoln Center. The event will be in the Canyon West Ballroom, not our regular meeting room. The Service Above Self Committee, along with the Fellowship and Membership committees, have joined forces for a very special evening of celebration and fellowship. We will honor 5 very special Rotarians as well as celebrate all Rotarians and their accomplishment during this past year.
The evening will start out with cocktails and continue with heavy appetizers and desserts ( food provided by Chef Z). We will have entertainment and a special program.
April 27, 5:30pm to 8pm in the large ballroom at the Lincoln Center. (Cash bar)
If you forgot to register, please contact Judy Boggs or Susie Ewing and they will let you know if we still have space.
RECAP: Colleges Collaborating: CSU College of Business & Walter Scott College of Engineering
Last week we were privileged to have 2 CSU deans, David McLean (Engineering) and Beth Walker (Business) update our club on the ongoing collaboration between the College of Business and the Walter Scott College of Engineering.
A group of Rotarians braved the weather to work at Lee Martinez Farm. They cleaned up around the barn and provided some much needed cleaning to the Rotary Farm Heritage Museum. Built by Rotarians from our club and dedicated in the year 2000, the museum continues to offer residents a view of our farming history.
