About Lakewood Foothills Rotary -

Lakewood Foothills Rotary Club supports the main goal of Rotary International by developing projects that address today’s critical issues, be they children at risk, poverty, hunger or the environment.

One person can make a difference. Backed by over 1.2 million members world-wide in 160 countries and over 30,000 clubs -- Rotary makes a difference. We prove it every day. All it takes is a few dedicated people willing to make a comittment using their business and professional expertise to build a stronger community and the world at large.

Rotarians are people that know the difference between reasons and excuses and rise to meet the challenges of today’s society. A lot of people once said that man would never fly. Orville Wright thought otherwise. Orville Wright was a Rotarian.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about Lakewood Foothills Rotary Club, Rotary in general or if you are one of those rare individuals who care enough to make a difference and just need a way to do it.

If you are Not a Rotarian -
How do you feel about these statements?
  • Are you prone to telling the truth, even when a "little white lie" would go unnoticed?
  • True or False: I don't have to be best friends with everyone, but it is generally better to be friendly to everyone than not.
  • If you don’t have anything nice to say about someone, don’t say anything at all.
  • As corny as it might sound in today's society, do you try to deal fairly with those you encounter in your business and personal life?

endpolionow campaign

 

DG Mike asked you to Text to 90999 the word polio in the Subject line to make a $5 donation in honor of Rotary International’s 108th birthday. When the confirmation email comes back, reply yes. The $5 charge will appear on your phone bill.
 
If you prefer not to text, donate any amount through your club, or on the www.rotary.org website under Member Access.
 
Then, please reach out to your friends and associates and ask them to text for polio. As an alternative to texting, non-Rotarians can go to www.endpolio.com to learn about polio and donate any amount. Tell them to mention your club name and your club will get credit. They will receive a thank you on line.
 
Thanks for helping our District celebrate Rotary International’s birthday with a nice donation to PolioPlus. YTD there have only been 2 paralytic cases worldwide but it still costs $1B/year to inoculate millions of children. Polio will be the 2nd disease to have been eradicated by man, and Rotary started the campaign to get it done!!!

Subject: Rotary-Denver Indian Center Work DayDear

Workers at the DIC Work Day,  

Thank you for participating in yesterday’s workday at the Denver Indian Center. Your diligence and hard work enabled us to complete all of our project as planned and earlier than anticipated. Most importantly we partnered with the DIC  to get the Montessori Pre School installed. We all look forward to seeing it in operation in the future.

I express the thanks of everyone on the American Indian Committee, to participating Rotarians and community members who helped. We also extend our thanks to the Denver Indian Center folks including Jay, Payton, and Shannon for their assistance with the project, and to Edwin and Rose for a wonderful breakfast set up and great lunch.

Mike
