Walker Stapleton spoke to the club on April 22. State Treasurer Walker Stapleton's roots run deep in Colorado, his family has been actively involved in Colorado since the early 1900’s. As Colorado State Treasurer, Walker continues this proud family tradition of community leadership.

The Highlands Ranch Rotary Club Morning Group will be participating in the annual Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Event in Castle Rock. Sunday, June 7. This event draws up to 6000 cyclists and offers a variety of courses from friendly family routes to more challenging 100 mile courses.
The Morning Rotary Club acts as "marshals" along the route. In this capacity, the members are posted at various locations and support the riders by ringing cowbells, shouting encouragement and providing directions. 30 to 32 Rotarians are needed to man the support stations (2 Rotarians per station)/ This in an incredibly popular event that supports non-profits like the Interfaith Task Force Community. More information on this ride can be found at www.elephantrockride.com.
If you can help the Rotary Morning Group by helping in this event, please contact their Chairperson, Ann Mather, at Annmather@aol.com or Steve Miller, President of the Highlands Ranch Noon Club. Your support is needed to make this event successful. You will enjoy a beautiful morning in Castle Rock, a fun experience and an opportunity to help our community. Please sign up by Friday, May 15.
