Groundwater Management of the Ogallala Aquifer
On Wednesday, December 8th, at noon at the Lincoln Center, we will hear from Ryan Bailey, a faculty member at CSU in the Department of  Civil and Environmental Engineering.  Our speaker’s research focuses on watershed management to sustain water quantity and quality. For Rotary, he will target the Ogallala Aquifer (OA), one of the largest freshwater aquifers in the world, covering portions of Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wyoming.

RECAP: Member Outreach
For our November 24 in-person noon meeting, rather than having a more traditional speaker, Bill West led us into a series of round-table discussions to elicit member feedback on programs and membership.  At each of the tables in the room, one of our past presidents facilitated a discussion, based on a series of questions on a flyer on the table, around some of the possible aspects of the future of our organization.  READ MORE...

2022 Rotary International Convention! 
There is nothing quite like our annual Rotary International Convention. It’s the only opportunity we members get to connect personally with people from around the world, celebrate our works of service together, and collaborate on every level to find solutions to our most pressing challenges. We do all of this at one event — while making memories that will last a lifetime. Rotary will have plenty to celebrate 4-8 June 2022 at our convention in Houston, Texas. 
 
Sincerely, Rotary International President Shekhar Mehta

Guatemala Water Project Update 
A team from Engineers without Borders (EWB) Guatemala and the Rotary Club of Lake Atitlán visited the community of El Potrero last week to conduct survey and do an engineering assessment. This project will bring water from two spring sources to a water catchment tank and then distribute the water to 85 homes after purification. This is joint project with EWB Guatemala, EWB Fort Collins Professional Chapter, Lake Atitlan Rotary and our club. We hope to complete the project in the second half of 2022.
