Thank you to all who joined with the Rotary Club of Parker in two celebrations this spring!
The 2025 State of the Town event was held Tuesday, February 25 from 3:00-5:30 p.m. at the PACE Center. This featured a keynote speech by the new mayor of the Town of Parker, the Honorable Joshua Rivero. We also presented the Parker Impact Award. Here is a lovely article summarizing the event from the Parker Chronicle. 
Then on Saturday evening, March 1, a great time was had by all at the Mayor's Mardi Gras Ball, a fundraiser for the Parker Task Force. Click here for a slideshow that gives a sense of the evening
We are grateful to all of our sponsors, listed in the Sponsors box on this page.
Here are two of the four crews of smiling Rotarians who solicited donations for the Parker Task Force on March 8 at the Stroh Ranch King Soopers. We collected 56 boxes of food and over 200 packages of the perishables chicken, butter, hamburger, eggs and milk. Thank you to the Parker community for your terrific support!
Rotary clubs in District 5450 have participated with the Colorado Garden & Home Show’s Flower Power program for the past 25+ years. On the last day of the show, Rotary clubs collect the flowers displayed at the show and distribute them to senior care facilities in the Denver Metro area.
Our Parker Rotary Club committed to participate in Flower Power this year. On Sunday night, February 16, Edith Blankson helped pack up the flowers into cardboard boxes. On Monday, February 17, Michael Graham-Hyde, Alex Doyle, and Gail Lehrmann used a rented U-Haul truck to pick up 38 boxes of flowers and plants (304 total) from Empower Field in downtown Denver. Deliveries were made to six area senior care and retirement centers: Terra Bluffs, Life Care Center of Stonegate, Pine Grove Crossing, Parker Post Acute, Castle Country Assisted Living, and Morning Star Senior Living.
Thank you to President Sue Garwood, PE John Huffaker and his granddaughter Grace, Tim and Mavis Mackin, Ron Saatjian, Michelle and John Schultz, and Ron Sorlien for their help unloading the plants and flowers!
After a couple of delays due to frigid weather, on February 1 a group of Rotarians helped set footings in place to support the cabins that will be used by mental health professionals at Affinity Ranch. We're thrilled by the completion of each step that brings this project closer to realization. The day started out gray but the sun was shining at the end! Click here for a slideshow that shows the project. There will be a second work day to finish the job, planned for March 15.
