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

Paulo for the 2015 Rotary

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

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
