Inspiration: Tom Keyton
50/50 winner: Connie Golas will sell tickets this week
LAST WEEK: Megan Maccagnan Price, Colorado Young Leaders Rotaract Club (CYLRC)
We had the pleasure of meeting Megan via Zoom. Megan, a student from the CO School of Mines, described CYLRC. Rotaract is the global movement of young leaders who are developing innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges. Worldwide, there are nearly 11,000 Rotaract clubs with over 200,000 Rotaractors. Their club is unique, while most Rotaracts are based around a college or university they are a community based club that includes anyone between the ages of 18-35 who seek to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders. The Club of 15 meets monthly at DU and are looking for opportunities through all/local Rotary Clubs. For more information, www.coyoungleaders.org.
We then had the opportunity to meet Irmgarde Brown, Zig's sister, as she introduced her inspirational novel, Sister Jane, about self-discovery, miracles, faith, and acceptance. We especially enjoyed her vibrant reading.
During her moving inspiration, Debby shared memories of her son, Josh, including quotes from his new book, It's Not Over Yet
(Josh Novotny).
We welcomed Zig's wife, Christine, his sister, Irmagarde Brown, and her friend, Kathy Reno. Jim Bramley introduced his friend, Bill Gregg, to the Club.
My sincere apologies to our new inductees, Elya and Theresa, for not having a photo commemorating your induction into our vibrant, active, and lively Club. We are honored to have your membership!
This month's day at Project Cure was canceled due to low attendance. Bill encouraged us to volunteer monthly to continue this 20+ year participation.
Bob Larson did it again, auctioning off a bottle of white wine this time. Debby Doig added to her collection with this highest designation Italian wine.
