OTHER NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT
A NIGHT AT THE OPERA...ER... PHILHARMONIC!
Fred with his neighbor, Dennis Ferrigno, who plays with the Phil. He was 'instrumental' in setting up last years' chamber music event
Funny, I only see margaritas, no food?!
Seventeen Rotarians spent a fun evening with the Arapahoe Philharmonic recently. Following dinner at Three Margaritas, people headed over to the pre-concert talk with our old friend, Devin Patrick Hughes. In his usual form, he gave his fascinating background on composer Dmitri Shostakovich, a Russian pianist and composer of the Soviet period. He is regarded as one of the major composers of the 20th century. The rendition of Modest Mussorsky's Pictures at an Expedition was outstanding.Also on tap was the 16 year virtuoso, Phoenix Avalon, an extraordinary talent who has won a number of awards and has been featured on NPR’s From the Top, is featured in Shostakovich’s virtuosic First Violin Concerto in A minor. People were astonished that this teen soloed for 45 minutes - with no sheet music, all memorized.
The group was treated to a designated seating area, close to the action. The club was even listed in the program as a doner! Thanks to Fred Warnaars for putting this great event together. Attendees would like to see this become an annual event!

This event, An Evening of Raising the Roof to Prevent Homelessness and Hunger, is where the community comes together to support those struggling to overcome societal obstacles; such as illness, domestic violence, homelessness, hunger, unemployment, and crime victimization. The evening's 2017 Honoree was St. Andrew United Methodist Church - Highlands Ranch. Our club was last years' honoree.

We've been talking about this for a long time...the importance of welcoming people to the meeting. Now we're getting serious! You will be contacted ahead of time, much like giving the inspiration. Then greeters will stand at the front door of the club to welcome and direct people to the meeting. This is a great way to pay homage to your fellow members and friends. Easy peasy!
