LAST WEEK
* THANKS TO MICKIE CAMERON FOR TAKING MEETING NOTES!*
 
LINGOHUT

Our guest speaker Kendal Kneteman from LingoHut was very dynamic speaker and covered a lot of “language” in a short time.  LingoHut is a free online language learning platform and was inspired by helping refugees speak the local language of the county of which they are displaced.  They currently teach 12 languages to over 50 origin languages helping a wide scope of immigrants throughout the globe.   One evening at 13 her Dad came to her and said pack your bags quickly “Bird” (her nickname) you gotta fly.  She boarded a plane the next day not to return to Nicaragua until well into her adulthood. 

Our student was Josh Jones, senior from Highlands Ranch High School, is involved with Varsity Football, Track and Student Senate. He anticipates becoming an Environmental Engineer. 

 THIS WEEK
CELEBRATE VALENTINES DAY - ROTARY STYLE
 

We're trying something new - this Thursday, Feb. 15, is bring you spouse to Rotary!  What better way to show your spouse what you do each Thursday. Of course you will need to pay for their lunch, but small price for having them enjoy a Rotary day! 

GREETER SCHEDULE:

February 15:  Steve Miller & Floyd Nelson

OTHER NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT

THE GIRLS GO TO DISNEY!

 
 

Last Friday a group of club members went on a mission - to get toys for the Ronald McDonald breakfast.  This started at the October breakfast where Debbie Henry made 6 Build-A-Bears to give out.  It was such a hit that we've decided to keep it going.  So the girls were going to build bears when they found a sale at the Disney Store.  They got 40-ish character dolls - on deep discount, I might add!  So we've filled the vault for the next few Ronald McDonald events...and they didn't have to work as hard!  Thanks to everyone for giving their time!

 

NEED INFO ON ROTARY COMMITTEES? HERE'S HOW YOU CAN GET IT!

The Communication Committee, chaired by Philip Calderbank, has setup a new page in ClubRunner for committee meeting notes.  The URL is:
https://portal.clubrunner.ca/ 3346/SitePage/member-area- committee-meeting-notes    Information on how to put your committee notes on this page will be forthcoming.

LATEST FROM WARRIOR BONFIRE
Another group of Vets made the trek to Colorado to attend the Warrior Bonfire winter event. An amazing ski, snow mobile & winter adventure was in store for them.  Thanks to president Michael Foss, who, as you know, is our very own club member.  What a great experience having this group involved with our club!
 
Don't forget to attend Colorado Gives a Damn, sponsored by the Colorado Business Roundtable.  Warrior Bonfire will be a recipient of funds raised - It's such a great organization! The event will be held Tuesday, March 6 at the Falls Event Center.  Contact Lisa Gregg lgreg@cobrt.com for more info.
 
Connie organized the gift bags for the warriors
Here they are enjoying the slopes

How could they NOT love Colorado?
And here they are après ski!
 
 
CLUB KEEPS RACKING UP HONORS!
Jan Selinfreund accepts a Rotary Presidential Citation on the club's behalf from Ray Anderson.  We were one of only five clubs in our district to receive this award for 2016-17!
AN INTERACTER MOVES INTO ROTARACT - COLLEGE STYLE!

Karla Olson oversees our club's Interact program at Mountain Vista High School.  She recently received this email from Sydney, who was an interact officer at the high school last year.  It shows what a great club Karla has developed, with students moving on to bigger roles within the 'Rotary Circle".

 
Hi Mrs. Olson!  How have you been?  I just wanted to say hi, and let you know that I have actually just become the Vice President of Rotaract here at Clemson.  I wanted to send a thank you to you and Ms. DeBolt for all of your help during Interact that helped me along the way.  I loved my time at Interact and I hope it has continued to be a great community and organization at Vista just like it was for me 😊 Thank you for all you do!
