DID YOU MISS LAST WEEK'S MEETING? HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED
EL PORVENIR - WATER FOR NICARAGUA

Teresa Mazza discussed the need for clean water in the rural areas of Nicaragua.  They're committed to the basics of existence, latrines, wash stations and teaching residents about the importance of hand washing.  Along with this comes watershed management and biodiversity.  Their goal is to have this population start the climb out of poverty and become environmental stewards. 
 
The club presented her with a check for $500.
 

 

 

 

 

 

AN ENTHUSIASTIC STUDENT, TO BE SURE!

Estee Medberry was a pleasant change from our usual students.  Her enthusiasm for all things geological/metallurgical was apparent, from being 3rd in the state for gold panning to finding solace in rock hounding.  A former Young RYLA and RYLA participant, she is familiar with the virtues of Rotary, which many feel is important when selecting the scholarship winner.  She is also active in Colorado Young Leaders, a group of teens who volunteer across Colorado in anything from building hiking trails to  tutoring children who have fallen behind in school or come from underprivileged backgrounds.

GREETER:  Li Liu

- ON DECK: Heather Dawson
- IN THE HOLE: Christie Banowitz
INSPIRATION:  Connie Golas
50/50 WINNER: Christie Banowitz, who donated her winnings back to El Porvenir
 
WHAT'S ON THE PROGRAM AT THIS WEEK'S MEETING??
Shrin Murthy will share  his view from the top (bottom?) of the world on his recent trip to Antarctica.
