Invocation--Ken Hope

Announcements

Kent--Introduced Cliff, honorary member, who introduced his guest, Aaron Hurst. He is looking into Rotary as his choice for a service club.

Rotary Minute--Given or "struggled through" by Kent. He "discussed" Rotary Fellowship Month and gave several examples.

Mark Gale discussed this weekend’s event, Wild on Littleton and the lack of Rotary volunteers. We have three booths and the Chamber has asked us to also sell hot dogs. Mark led a spirited discussion on the pros and cons. Decision will be made later today.

Ben is responsible for taking the Rotary information and Jenn has the Rotary banners. The event runs from 6-10 p.m.

Do not forget the Changing of the Guard, hosted by Barb on June 28th.

Charlie presented Jeff Piercy with a Paul Harris Fellowship for his son, Matthew J. Charlie then encouraged other members to take advantage of the District’s offer to double donations to the Foundation through June 14th. He had done an excellent job as Foundation Chair this year.


Happy Bucks

  • Marc’s Presidential question was; What was the longest inaugural speech and also the shortest Presidency? William Henry Harrison’s speech ran over an hour and a half in the snow and the "rocket scientist" died in 31 days from pneumonia. Kent knew the answer.
  • Catherine gave $5 bucks, a small part for her probable upcoming job and the bulk for Hank’s CLEAN PETSCAN and DISEASE FREE!!!
  • Cliff has started a new 501C3 and has approximately 85 members. Not quite sure what they are going to do, but if we can support him, I am sure we will.
  • Randy gave a buck for the camaraderie at District Assy. last Saturday and $10 for Mary’s CLEAN PETSCAN!!!!
  • Roxy gave money for her daughter’s recent visit.
  • Pete gave a buck for SFM. Sticky Fingers Medina, for her Marble win last week.
  • Jenn for a phone call from the DG and the fact that Andres and Hank shouldn’t sit together at functions in the future. What happened?!!! Randy left early, so don’t blame him.
  • Catherine added that her youth group needs donations for their upcoming garage sale and shoppers this weekend to buy everything. Please contact her with any donations. Her church is St. James Presbyterian at Lowell and Belleview.

Program

James Roger from the Aurora Club shared details on a recently completed water project co-sponsored by his Club and 6 others in the District.

The Peruvian Club sponsoring on the other end was Trujillo Norte.

It is located in San Leon, Peru and cost approximately $50,000. The idea hatched from the Engineers without Borders chapter out of Boulder.

The freshly drilled well found enough water to supply four villages, although there are no nearby villages to share in the clean water. The Aurora Club hopes to sponsor other projects to take advantage of the newly found aquifer that they feel lies at the foot of the Andes.

He asked for a member to sit on a committee to explore the possibility of new projects.


Marbles

Jim drew his own ticket. He was embarrassed, but didn’t return the $10 as suggested by Randy. Thankfully he drew two clear marbles. The rules have changed and each week the person who’s ticket is drawn will get to draw twice.

The project brought water.
