At the conclusion of the 61st annual Colorado Garden and Home Show 24 Denver Area Rotary Clubs came together and with the help of several Boy Scout Troops and the Regis Jesuit football team, gathered all of 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, with a focus on 60 local senior living facilities. This year 6741 flowers were gathered and distributed…creating 6741 huge, happy smiles.
In Broomfield, the Evening Rotary Club distributed 256 flowering plants to the residents of Maryel Manor, Salvation Army’s Silver Crest, Broomfield Skilled Nursing Facility, CIA (Connections in Art), the Broomfield Senior Center, and Meals-on-Wheels. The Morning Rotary Club distributed 224 plants to the Lutheran Home in Arvada, Independent Living, Sunrise Assisted Living, Villagio Senior Living, and three Balfour Facilities.
The Rotary Club was told that at one of the facilities a 97 year-old gentleman has been planting and nurturing the flowers that we deliver in the residence home’s garden in the Spring for well over a decade and that’s what keeps him going. Another flower recipient sent photos of the flower that she received a year ago sprouting again this year…much to her delight!

The Rotary Club is 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. If you know of such a place, please contact Gerry Case, Rotarian, at (303) 618-0104.

For the last 9 years, I have served as the Volunteer Coordinator for the Frank Shorter RACE4Kids’ Health Event that benefits Healthy Learning Paths. Healthy Learning Paths teaches skills for mental, physical, and emotional fitness through “Healthy Learning Kids”, an evidence-based health education curriculum that is taught in our local schools. (See About Health Learning Paths and Race Photos)
We are a few short weeks away from the time that I need to communicate back to my volunteers with the description of their volunteer assignments. Our Rotary Club has always provided great support for this event and this year is no exception. As the event grows each year, there is an ever-increasing need for volunteers like yourselves. I am therefore sending this Email to Rotary members that I don’t remember soliciting a response from at one of our recent Rotary meetings. I still have a number of unstaffed assignments that I could use your assistance with.
The Frank Shorter RACE4Kids’ Health Event is held at Broomfield’s 1St Bank Center on Sunday, April 8th. The time of each volunteer commitment will vary with the task assigned, but all tasks are over by noon. Volunteers will receive a written description of their assignment about two weeks before the event. It will include everything you will need to know about your assigned task including contact information for your Race Day Captain, should you have any additional questions.
If you and/or your spouse would be able to help, simply click here and fill out the form to let us know! Your support would be greatly appreciated.
