Hello Everyone,
Last Week: We heard from Amilia Spiliotes, Interim Chief Executive Officer at Community Health Programs (CHP). Amelia shared the “health” and mission of CHP.
This Week: We welcome over 40 students from Monument Mountain and Mount Everett, and their families, to our Annual Scholarship Luncheon. We will be awarding $45,000.00 in scholarships this year. The vast majority of these funds are raised through the Golf Tournament. Thank you to the Golf Committee for the tremendous effort they expend in coordinating this effort. Well done!
Truck Day: The lack of the morning sun and intermittent rain drops did not keep the crowds away. We had a good turnout, and preliminary financial reports look very promising. I hope to have a full report to share with the Club next week. Special thanks to Dave Isby, Suzanne Arre, John Benedict, Sabrina Ruggiero, Peter Dillon, Mary White and my co-chair, Mark DeCelle. Thank you all for taking on a piece of this fundraiser. Special thanks to each and every Rotarian who was able to show up and help out on Sunday. I appreciate you all doing your part.
Scratch Ticket Raffle: I will report this one piece – Roger Manring was the winner of the Scratch Ticket Raffle. He took the check!
Induction Dinner: Mark your calendars - the Induction Dinner for John Benedict will be Wednesday, June 22nd at Camp Hi-Rock. There will be no luncheon meeting that day. More details to follow!
People’s Pantry: Pasta for this week - Soup for next week.
And from the Rotary Foundation:
