The New Year 2018 - 2019
Posted by Kam Breitenbach on Jul 12, 2018
President Ken Claiborne led the club in our semi-annual Club Assembly.   Club Treasurer Ron Beller presented the 2018 - 2019 Budget that was approved by our club members.
  
President Ken Claiborne started the meeting welcoming members and guests and introducing BOD members and directors to give an overview of their committees.  Tom Furmanski talked about our youth scholarships, RYLA and Young RYLA, Peaceful Schools, Interact Clubs at Chaparral and American Academy.  He is looking for volunteer members to help in all areas.  Kam Breitenbach was standing in for Community Service Director Mike Endres and asked members to sign up for committees and projects they have a passion for helping.  Li Pettett gave a wrap up of last years International projects and where we're looking to serve this coming year.    Foundation Board President Carl Finamore spoke about the Foundation and held an election for new Foundation Board positions.  
A list of various committees are listed on the front page of our website and in the weekly Lamplighter.  Members are needed for committees.  Please send an email to Kam as to where you would like to serve.  If your area of service is not listed, please send that info along to Kam too.   Each committee must have a Champion and committee members with a plan to remain on the list.

2018 - 2019 Board of Directors & Officers
Posted by Kam Breitenbach on Jun 29, 2018
The Rotary Club of Parker honored their Board and Directors at the end of the year celebration held at Black Bear Country Club on June 28, 2018.  The Board and Directors were thanked for their service throughout the year and working towards our goal of Service Above Self.  The new 2018 – 2019 Board and Directors were honored and welcomed for their upcoming service and leadership by new President Ken Claiborne.
 
The festivities began with entertainment led by Rotarians Steve Brown and Jim Muir.  As the evening continued, as with tradition, a member was honored as the Rotarian of the Year.  This year, the award went to Rotarian Don Clasen who died recently.  Don was involved with lots of projects and was instrumental in his leadership by leading the O’Brien Park Gazebo flower bed projects, being heavily involved with Toys for God’s Kids, Project C.U.R.E., food drives for the Parker Task Force, helping Rocky Vista University medical students get water filters for their international projects, and more.  Don was a Rotarian from 2010 until his death in 2018.
