 MEETING HIGHLIGHTS JAN 18th:
 
We welcomed Will Pendelton from Parker Rotary now Wind Crest's up and coming satellite club.
 
Dorothy Hensen, Project Angel Heart, Food for Special Diets
 
Project Angel Heart's vision is for all Coloradans living with severe illness to have access to nutritious food that supports their health and well-being. To that end, they compassionately deliver comfort and support through high-quality nutrition services, including medically tailored meals, while also advocating for the principles of “Food is Medicine.” The personal touch is the decorated bags used to deliver the food. Please join us Feb 1st after our meeting to decorate bags; "just means you care".
   
 
Announcements
 
Two leadership opportunities will become available Jul 1st when Chip Hartney and Kari's 2-year Board of Director terms expire. Terre Cone and Chip Hartney were accepted as nominations from the floor. Nominations remain open next meeting.
 
It is with sadness we accept Tim Sparks resignation from the Club. Tim has been a vital member supporting our Military Service Committee. He will be missed. 
 
Extra lunches today were shared with Eagle Academy. Thank you, Guy and Claudia, for delivering.
 
Tamie shared highlights from the District Governor Elect training in Orlando; her words helped us understand making Rotary "irresistible".
 
Scott informed us IFCS is running on half capacity; they spend $30,000/month and have $14,000. We financially support IFCS, Scott suggested a hygiene drive. Personally, I believe it is a great idea.
 
As you attend events, Rotary-in-action, please remember to take photos and send to Tamie for our Facebook page, Kari for our website, and me for the Wheel Spinner. 
 
"The Secret Comedy of Women" had a great turnout, thank you Jane.
       
 
May 18th is the EPIC Day of Service, a nationwide movement to showcase the service work of Rotary. It is an opportunity to create lasting change in our community, re-engage our members with purpose, passion and fellowship, and recruit new members. Thank you, Alan and Tom McHugh, for taking the lead on this project. The Community Service Committee will also participate.
 
Family of Rotary
 
Our thoughts and prayers remain with Vivianna who is recovering at home and with Earl as he finds strength in rehabilitation. We send prayers for Phil Calderbank and Ann Lester as they both struggle with a medical diagnosis. Ron asks for cards, emails, texts for Ann, no calls:
