Read Across America

In Celebration of the anniversary of Dr. Seuss' (Theodore Geisel) birthday which was March 2, and as part of the Read Across America for 2019 activities, several of our club members gathered at Niwot Elementary School to read Dr. Seuss books to most of the classes.   Marty, Pat, Ron, Stacy, Dennis, Thom, Chris, and Deb spread out to all the classrooms to read stories. 
 
Thank you to Principal Nancy Pitz and all the teachers at Niwot Elementary School for all their hard work!

District Conference Coming!

A reminder to attend--if at all possible, the District Celebration on Saturday April 27th at the Arvada Center.  As Scott mentioned this morning, the celebration is an excellent way to recharge sagging Rotary batteries, get to meet other Rotarians, see what clubs and the district are doing locally and world wide, and to just enjoy some great company and awesome speakers.  The cost is $125 for the day, including meals; you can also elect to attend only a half day--either morning or afternoon--for $75.  there will also be a social gathering the evening before at the Center--pure fun and camaraderie.  Partners/spouses are also welcome to attend.  Please see the District's website (rotary5450.org) for further details and to register.
