We meet next on Valentine's Day, February 14th, to discuss history and current events after our regular lunch meeting.
How will homeless persons celebrate Valentine's Day while we Rotarians share our greetings, food, fellowship, cards, flowers, candy, philosophies, and love with friends and family? Are the plights of homelessness solvable? Can and should Rotary have a role? Who are the homeless in Fort Collins? What are wants and needs of different groups (transitional episodic, and chronic)? Is giving a hand up or hand out most sustainable? Some want better and some do not.
Thanks to everyone that supported the recent Purple Pins event. The annual quad club event raised funds for the fight against polio, supporting the Rotary PolioPlus Program. There was food, fun, and great fellowship.
Great to see many generations of members at the Purple Pins event! Pictured are our newest member, Jonny Norwine, inducted this week, President Elect David Dunne, and John Matsushima, who joined our club in 1969.
