Foothills Rotary Weekly Bulletin July 22 (Jul 22, 2023)

I'm really looking forward to this week's program - my father was a big fan of steam engines and we had a model railroad in the basement.

I hope your summer is going well and you've volunteered yourself, family and friends for the Peach Festival! It's going to be fabulous to return to a park with grass and trees, and it should be a very lively day.

Oh, and sign up for our club Rotation Day on August 8th if you haven't yet.

This year Breakfast Rotary will be using proceeds to benefit Dolly Parton Imagination Library in Larimer County. So put in your order today through the Breakfast Rotary website!

Dolly Parton needs your help!

A year ago, our own Allison Hines gave a presentation with Jack Tate about the Dolly Parton Imagination Library expanding to Larimer County. Video from last July

United Way has been the leader in bringing this to our county, having an incredible impact on literacy right here in our community.

We need your help reaching out to health care organizations, elementary schools and pre-schools in Fort Collins, to spread the word and help parents sign their kids up for this free program. Would you like to help reach out to these groups in July and August? We need more people!
