Thank you for your generous pledges to the Polio Plus campaign!  Now it's time to fulfill your pledge by sending a payment to the Rotary Club of Parker Foundation.  You can either:

• Bring a check to a meeting, made out to the Rotary Club of Parker Foundation.  Please write Polio Plus in the memo line so the Foundation treasurer knows how to credit your donation, and so your donation is eligible for the Foundation match.

• Mail a check to the Foundation (address = Rotary Club of Parker Foundation, P.O. Box 1472, Parker, CO  80134-1410).  The check should be made out to the Rotary Club of Parker Foundation; please write Polio Plus in the memo line so the Foundation treasurer knows how to credit your donation, and so your donation is eligible for the Foundation match.

• Send your donation to the Foundation using Zelle, directed to foundation@parkerrotary.org.  Please note Polio Plus in the memo area.  Click here to download instructions on using Zelle to make a payment to the club's Foundation.  

Thank you for your support of this effort that has saved countless lives around the world.

One of the great joys the club has every year is to recognize individuals/groups who have made a significant contribution to Parker during the previous year, in keeping with Rotary’s motto of Service Above Self.  We present the Parker Impact Awards in conjunction with the State of the Town event, coming up this year on May 12, 2022.  Dan O’Neill has agreed to head up the committee to solicit nominations and choose this year’s recipient(s).

Anyone, whether they are members of the club or not, can nominate someone to receive a Parker Impact Award.  We encourage you to think of people who deserve this recognition – ask friends and neighbors as well.  For more information on the nomination process, click here.

To view past recipients of the Parker Impact Award, click here.

If you have questions or would like to be part of the selection team, please contact Dan O’Neill at odie2450@comcast.net.

Well, WE aren't off to Nigeria, but a team of Rotarians and medical students from Rocky Vista University volunteered at Project C.U.R.E. to help sort/pack items destined for a shipment to Nigeria.

A team of Rotarians typically volunteers at Project C.U.R.E. the fourth Monday evening of the month.
