On Tuesday April 24, the Stapleton Rotary Club will NOT be meeting in its regular location.

Instead, we will be visiting the JA Finance Park, located at the American Furniture Warehouse at 8501 Grant (I-25 & 84th). The Park is a semi portable, 5,000 foot exhibit, which has been providing a virtual personal finance learning experience to 8th and 9th graders in CO and WY.

Gregg Tomlinson, Stapleton Rotary Club President

On Friday, December 16, the Stapleton Rotary Club volunteered at the Food Bank of the Rockies for an afternoon. Members who attended were Tom Wolfe, Evan Brooks, Ed Cole, Jason Postregna and Gregg Tomlinson. The Food Bank of the Rockies receives surplus food from a
variety of sources that is sorted and organized and distributed to needy families throughout the state of Colorado.

The work is fun and social and on top of that we all got some exercise and weight lifting during the afternoon as well as spending some quality time with friends old and new.

More information about volunteer opportunities at the Food Bank can be found here:

Up With People, the international educational and cultural program, is looking for families to host cast members during their four-week stay in Denver, January 6 – February 6, 2012.

Host families are asked to provide a bed, breakfast, dinner, and limited local transportation (bus or light rail passes will be provided to cast members if needed). Cast members are out in the community during most business hours Monday through Saturday – Sunday is considered “Host Family Day.” This is an opportunity for families to connect with other countries and cultures while sharing your community.

Host families receive two complimentary tickets to the February 3rd show in Denver. More information is available on the Up With People website.

If you are interested in hosting, please contact Shawna Reed at 303-408-4143 or email her at sreed@upwithpeople.org
