Happy Labor Day!!
 
Celebrate it indoors today and tonight, if you can - air quality is very poor for health, due to smoke, ash, and excessive heat, followed by freezing temperatures.  Really.
                 Events Coming UP!
 
Armageddon?
 
 
ZOOM MEETING Thursday morning.   7:30. Here is the link. (click)

 
Next 5th Thursday:  October 29.  Venue and logistics TBD.  Give it some creative thought.  Halloween?  Or, Niwot Tavern's (click link) new owners are doing a very good job for the community and deserve support - and some recruiting to RCN - so perhaps there?  Outdoor seating only, but takeout and plumbing.
 
 
Sunday October 4, evening, seems to work best (so far) for an in-person Club and spouse/date gathering at the Marshes.  Let us know if that might or might not work for you; there won't be a date/time that works for everyone, unfortunately.
1906 Creekside Dr. (click link) in Longmont, with plenty of outdoor space and seating in the front/back/side yards - and also backing onto Lefthand Park for as much BYO blankets/chairs/ distancing as anyone could want or need.
It will be an outside party, only, out of respect for County rules and Rotary concerns, respect for our varying and sometimes conflicting views on COVID, and plain good sense.  We are pleased, however, to offer quite a bit of indoor plumbing and sanitizer for short visits.  Cigars limited to front porch, cigarettes to Lefthand Park?  Food and drink stations all over.  Convenient to Uber, Lift, and the LoBo bike trail so you don't need to drive home!
 
 
Past Speakers and activities:
 
Crutches for Africa can now be funded by purchasing a good book here (click link).  Deb spearheads our annual support and collection of crutches.
 
 
Sept. 13 at the Boulder JCC, 6:00 p.m., Boulder Symphony conductor Maestro Devin Hughes, who supports Niwot High orchestra and who has spoken at our breakfast meeting, very impressively, offers rather famous local musicians (click link) in a well-known string quartet.  Tickets/seating are in small COVID pods - available here (click link)
