AND THESE ACTIVITIES MEAN WHAT?

KOHL'S SANTA CLOTHES

Each year, Rotary partners with Kohl's Park Meadows store of Quebec. Students are bussed in from different organizations, CASA, Boys Hope, Girls Hope & Hide in Plain Sight to name a few. Each child is given $100 to spend on clothes for themselves. A Rotarian accompanies them to find the right sizes and styles and keep on budget. The joy in their eyes when they hear they've hit the preverbal jackpot is so exciting! Sign up with Connie Golas to participate in this great tradition!

STATE OF THE STATE LUNCHEON

The 11^th annual State of the State Luncheon is co-sponsored by the Rotary Club of Southeast Denver and District 5450. It will be held December 7th at the Denver Marriott Tech Center (noon to 1:30 pm). The club has stepped it up in a big way - not only are we dark that day so people can attend without a conflict, but they're also applying our 'lunch money' to our ticket price. So $30 of the $60 luncheon ticket is being underwritten by the club, costing members only $30 for this great program.

In addition to keynote speaker Susan Klebold, Governor John Hickenlooper will address the State’s efforts in the areas of mental health and wellness. The luncheon will be preceded by a Mental Health Symposium presented by the Rotary Mental Health Initiative (9 am-11:20 am; Free/Registration Required) and a Mental Health & Wellness Expo (11:00-11:55 am; no charge to attend). Visit the district website for more info,

Our involvement? Go down to wrap the kids' presents. We have 2 days now, Friday evening, Dec. 15 and early Saturday morning, Dec. 16. The party is in the afternoon.

IFCS HOLIDAY BASKETS TO SENIORS

IFCS sponsors holiday baskets and builds them for local low income seniors. They're filled with gifts and food - the stuff of a happy holiday! Our role? Delivery of said baskets. You'll go over to IFCS, 3370 S Irving St, Englewood, CO 80110, in the morning of Dec. 16, collect baskets and addresses, then go forth and deliver!
