Few Tickets Remaining to 2016 State of the Town and Mayor's Gala
ONLY A FEW TICKETS ARE LEFT TO THE 2016 PARKER STATE OF THE TOWN AND MAYOR'S BLACK TIE AND BOOTS GALA!
 
Message from Larry Brutlag...
 
Thank you to all who have Sponsored, and/or bought tickets to the 2016 Parker State of the Town and Mayor's Black Tie and Boots Gala.
 
Please consider buying any tickets that you need for the State of the Town ASAP.  We only have 16 left as of this morning.  We would really like to have all members of our Rotary Club of Parker and their guests attend.
 
Once we sell out we will create a wait list and award tickets as they come available through sponsors telling us they can not use all their seats.  The first 40 donated seats will be for High School Students from all 5 High Schools in Parker and the RCC.  As we get more seats turned in we will be able to sell them to those on our wait list.
 
To avoid the hassle of the Wait list, I recommend buying NOW!  TO DAY if Possible.  Go to www.parkerrotary.org to purchase or call me or Bill Shriver.
 
It will be a great event and your participation is what will make it the best it can be!!

Rotarians Whoop it up at Western Stock Show

 

 
Rotarians enjoyed a great dinner, a fun rodeo and terrific fellowship at Rotary Night at the Western Stock Show
 
Dinner for Eight
Coming soon - dinners for eight.
 
The dinners, to be held in members' homes, are scheduled for
Friday, March 18 and Saturday, March 19
for
Friday, March 25 and Saturday, March 26
 
Sign up sheets will be passed around at the upcoming meetings.
We will divide folks into groups of eight or six (if that is what the hosts
can accommodate) and leave the hosts to decide on times and how they want to handle the meal - i.e. potluck.
 
Please consider hosting one of these events as they are most
helpful in promoting friendship among members in a more relaxed
setting than at our weekly meetings.
 
Questions - email Sue Gardner or Jane Johnson 
Help a New Rotarian - Become a Mentor!
The Rotary Membership Committee is looking for Mentors for our new members.  Would you like to be a Mentor to help a new member to attain their Blue Badge?
 
The Rotary Membership Committee is looking for Mentors for our new members.  Would you like to be a Mentor to help a new member to attain their Blue Badge?
 
The role of a Mentor is to help the new Rotarian feel welcome in our club and quickly get settled in. The following guidelines identify a number of ways you can help the new Rotarian become acclimated to our club.
 
What's required?
• Help a new member meet other members by sitting with the new member at a different table each week. Everyone will enjoy the opportunity to meet and get to know our new member and get to know you better too.
• Meet initially with the new member to review the Red Badge Program checklist.  Encourage the new member to complete the requirements as soon as feasible.
• Have follow-up meetings with the new member, as needed, to review progress on the checklist and see what remains to be done all while offering encouragement and suggestions as needed.
• Help new member select a committee or committees to serve on. Encourage the new member to wear Rotary pin daily.
• Show new member the usefulness of the club’s website: www.parkerrotary.org, like our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/TheRotaryClubOfParker and register on My Rotary www.rotary.org/myrotary(You may need to do this too!)
 
Please let Kam know if you would like to help.  kamieb1234@gmail.com
 
Tour the Colorado Judicial Center!!!
Chief Judge Allen Loeb will lead a tour of the Colorado Judicial Center for interested members of our club, and their significant others, on March 7 commencing at 9:30 A.M. and lasting about 1.5 hours. This is an opportunity to learn about our appellate courts and to view the amazing structure which now houses these courts and their staff. Significantly Chief Judge Loeb will personally be involved in this tour bringing his all court working knowledge to the presentation. Our new judicial center houses the Colorado Supreme Court and Colorado Court of Appeals and is considered one of the finest facilities of its kind in the United States.
 
At our meetings on January 21 and 28 Mike Oldham will circulate a sign up clipboard for those who wish to participate.
 
Rotary Youth Exchange Returns to Our Club
Next August our club will host a young man from Germany as a Rotary Exchange Student. Our club has a proud tradition of hosting Youth Exchange and for many years hosted two students each year.
 
Youth Exchange began in Rotary in the 1920ties with limited exchanges of students between Scandinavian and U.S. clubs. The exchanges grew in popularity until 1972 when RI adopted the program world wide. Today more than 8000 Youth Exchange students travel abroad each year to live and study in about 80 countries. You can read more about this activity on the District and R.I. web sites.
 
This program enriches the sponsoring club in numerous ways, has a significant impact on the community and school attended by the student. One of the principle purposes of the program is to build world understanding a peace.
 
Please consider volunteering to host this student for approximately three months in your home. You do not have to have a student in your home to host. We need three host families to cover the span from August through the following May when the student will return home. In addition all members of the club will be asked to host this student for outings throughout the year so that he can learn about our culture. Our student will be asked to regularly attend our club meetings to get to know our members, report on his country, and share in club activities.
 
In 2004-2005 Carrie and I, along with two other families, hosted Nicole Stoop from Switzerland. We cherished the experience. I continue to correspond with Nicole who now has a masters in marketing with a job in New York. She has returned to Parker for a visit on several occasions and plans to return again in the near future.
 
Please let me know if your interested and I will share a complete list of the responsibilities involved with a host family.
 
Thank you. Mike Oldham
