President Beth gave flowers to Michelle Stephenson who plays the piano prior to our Rotary meetings and Sylvia Hackl who leads us in singing as a thank you for their service.
President Beth presents a check to Kris Whitfield, Exective Director of United Way. The following is a quote from Kris:
"United Way of Laramie County is deeply grateful for Rotary’s generous $5,000 grant to support our Community Schools Program. This initiative places a United Way Community School Resource Coordinator in LCSD#1 Title I schools to connect students and families with essential resources. Rotary’s support helps fund family engagement events like literacy and STEAM nights, parent workshops, basic needs assistance (food, hygiene, and school supplies), enrichment opportunities, and crisis support. Through partnerships with local organizations, the program addresses academic, social, emotional, and basic needs—helping students thrive and families build stability. Our coordinator, Shelly, works closely with school staff to ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed both in and out of the classroom."
The Annual Rotary Crow Creek cleanup is set for Saturday, May 3rd at 8:00 am. We will meet at First Street and Morrie Avenue. It will last until around 11 a.m., the public is invited to participate. We will also clean up our Rotary Park on Dry Creek and plan to send a team to Prairie Avenue and Del Range Boulevard to work that area. As in the past we will focus on going into the creek/s to clear out trash in the water areas. For you duck hunters and fishermen come with your waders to "get wet".
