Foothills Rotary Bulletin

Friends,
 
Happy Good Friday and Easter weekend.  There is no meeting on Tuesday.
 
Condolences to Doug Hay who lost his father this week.  Services will be 4/25 at 11 am at First United Methodist on Stover.  Party at 12:30 pm-3:30 pm at the Neighbor (old Everyday Joes).  Baseball theme with brats, hot dogs and beer.  Stop by either if you can.  Our club has sent flowers and Rotary Cares will follow up to provide whatever support we can.
 
The Nuclear Submarine USS Colorado event is Tuesday, May 13th.  You must register by May 6th to attend.  Link and info is below.  Please sign up as soon as possible.  No charge to club members!
 
The Rotary Golf Tour will be starting next month on Friday May 2nd.  If interested in playing, please contact Artie Bavoso at 970-217-9969 or art@thirdsectorenterprises.com. More details to follow.
 
Applications are now open for both RYLA & Young RYLA (see below).  If you know someone going into 7th, 10th, 11th or 12th grades, please encourage them to apply.
 
Remember to register for the District Conference (June 12-14).   The link is below.
 
By far the cheapest and easiest way to be able to serve alcohol, check IDs etc. for the Peach Festival is Safe Serve, a Fort Collins Police Department run class. Only $10, takes two hours and no test. BUT the classes fill up quickly and there are only four more classes available before the Peach Festival! The available classes are May 8th, May 20th, June 19th and July 17th. Please share the link below to your members! I want to avoid just a few having to work a long day! There are other classes like TIPS, they are $35 and require a pass/fail test.
 
Here is the link for FCPD Safe Serve! Pass along that the course is taught at the Mason Street FCPD location.
 
Birthdays:  Chris Richmond (23rd)
Rotary Anniversaries: Vince Lubenow - 19 years
 
Thank you for everything you do to "Improve Lives".   Happy Easter!
 
In Gratitude,

Wynn
