Denver Mile High Rotary where commitment and service rise above the mountain tops
I take this week's newsletter
to CONGRATULATE the
Local Community Service
team! They have surveyed
the membership and re-
ceived a very high percent-
age return on the Club's local
community projects. Final
results are yet to be provided
but I especially want to do a
shout out to Michael Tapp,
our LCS Chair, and Geoff
Noble, our survey writer and
result gatherer par excel-
lence! Soon we will know
the membership's responses
of local community service
projects for Denver Mile
High Rotary.
I also extend my congratula-
tions to LCS and Carolyn
Schrader for completing the
Club approved
grant of $2500
for the Harring-
ton Elementary/Food For
Thought project.
Let's provide Bob Kemp
and Carolyn Schrader
(and Heidi Resetarits) a
warm send off to Sao
Paulo for the 2015 Rotary
International Convention,

Quick Note: the Denver

versation for many
months of meetings.
There will also be other
business to wrap up the
2014-15 Rotary year.

Harrington Elementary
May 21st ~ Harrington Elementary Great teamwork again on May 21st- Chuck,
Jeff M., Jeff S., Chuck, Linda Sue, Robin, and Greg T. Despite a bit of anxiety
when we temporarily ran out of bags, we finished around 8:10 a.m. Highlight of
the morning was a class of students yelling "thank you" to all the volunteers. This
was our last week at Harrington for the year. Another group asked for next week
some months ago, so we do not need to provide vol-
unteers.
Thanks to EVERYONE who was able to participate
this year!!! Your support and help was so very much
