"People of Action"

Dave Stewart, (Our Presenter on 4/18/24) is the owner and president of Stewart Environmental Consulting Group, LLC. from the city of Fort Collins, Stewart possesses a doctorate in environmental engineering from Colorado State University, showcasing his expertise in the field. With an extensive career spanning across the nation, he has dedicated his efforts to various water-related projects. Furthermore, his involvement in the Fort Collins Water Board and active membership in the Rotary Club exemplify his commitment to community engagement.
 
In the captivating YouTube video, it covered the pressing issues that plague the Colorado River. It delves into the scarcity of water within the river, the vast range of uses it serves, and the potential solutions to mitigate these challenges. Dave's comprehensive analysis meticulously explores the multifaceted effects that proposed solutions may have. It is undeniable that certain uses will need to be curtailed, necessitating increased conservation efforts and innovative strategies.
 
The success of Dave's presentation was evident in the substantial attendance and the enthusiastic participation of the audience. His profound insights sparked numerous inquiries from those present, further highlighting the impact of his expertise. 
 
The video concludes with the suggestion that Rotary’s 4-Way Test can provide a framework for arriving at the compromises that will be necessary.
 
 
During Thursday's club meeting we enjoyed a presentation by Richelle Force, the author of a book about a pioneering Ester Park photographer, Fred Payne Clatworthy, whose work was featured in National Geographic in the early 1900s. Upon meeting the photographer’s daughter, she discovered what she calls “a book waiting to be written”. Richelle is a former newspaper reporter, editor, college English instructor, and volunteer reading tutor. She and her husband, Dave live in a retirement community in Westminster, where she writes for the monthly newspaper and provides music for Sunday evening Vespers services.
Melissa Tumblin was presented a check from Broomfield Rotary for her non-profit Ear Community which helps families with ear and hearing challenges. The check included 2500 dollars from the Broomfield Club and 2100 dollars from a matching grant from Rotary District 5450.  Melissa presented an interesting capsule of the Ear Community’s accomplishments over the past 14 years. The Ear Community has had interactions with over 20,00 people and have provided needed equipment and scholarships to those affected by this impairment throughout the world. The Ear Community has had impact in many countries across the world including North and South America, Europe, South Africa, Asia and Australia. Mellissa’s daughter Ally was the motivator for the non-profit and the Ear Community has made an impressive impact in support of those affected by the condition.

Rotary Clubs deliver 416 Flowering Plants to local Seniors. 

At the conclusion of the Colorado Garden and Home Show this year many Denver Area Rotary Clubs came together and with the help of several Boy Scout Troops, gathered the flowering plants that were in good shape.  The purpose of this effort was to place these flowers in the hands of Seniors throughout the greater Denver area.  This year approximately 4000 flowers were gathered and distributed …creating 4000 huge, happy smiles. This is the 25th year that the Rotarians have distributed flowers to the Seniors in this area.
 
In Broomfield, the Evening Rotary Club distributed 208 Flowering plants to the residents of Maryel Manor, Salvation Army’s Silver Crest, the Adara Living (formerly Broomfield Skilled Nursing), the Broomfield Senior Center, and Meals-on-Wheels.  The Morning Rotary Club delivered 216 Flowering plants to other facilities in the area, including Balfour Retirement Community, to bring the total number of Flowering plants distributed in this year to 416 plants.
 
The Rotary Clubs are looking for more sites that would be interested in receiving flowers for Seniors next year at the conclusion of the Colorado Garden and Home Show.  For additional information, contact Gerry Case, Rotarian, at (303) 618-0104.
