Tom Buck shared details about how the Denver Children’s Home Christmas party went. The Bucks, Jacksons and Roxy and James attended the annual program and came away very impressed with the program.

Randy announced the formation of the Centennial Care Committee. The committee will visit Rotarians/significant others in hospital and send cards, plants and/or make phone calls to those in need. Tom is a member and the first recipient, Paul also wants to help. Please contact Randy or other members with any needs. The Board will decide on a budget for the newly formed committee.

Paul came through his latest hip revision very well and should be back soon.

While standing, Randy also gave report regarding the "journal literacy program" we recently sponsored at Knapp Elementary. The students were thrilled to see their artwork on the cover of their own journal. Greg, Laurie, the Jacksons, Hank were very pleased to see our money put to such a good use. With the generous price given to us by Greg’s company, we will be able to do more of these projects in the future to help more and more students.
