May 9, 2009 M S Walk

Team Captain:  David Blythin, Phil Farley and Lynn Matson are asking you to join us in the 2009 Multiple sclerosis (MS) Lifelines Walk in Loveland/Centerra on May 9, 2009 because this is a disease that is meaningful to us. Multiple sclerosis affects the central nervous system and occurs most frequently between the ages of 20 and 50. Many individuals and their families face a lifetime filled with challenges and unpredictability because as of today the cause of MS is unknown and there is no cure.

You can help by:

A. Making a donation to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society- see steps 1 through 9 below
or
B. Volunteering to walk in the May 9th MS Walk at Centerra - see steps 1 through 8 below
or
C. Volunteering to help set up or tear down on the day of the race, May 9th
or
D. Help check in participants at the May 9th MS Walk at Centerra - contact Phil Farley 667-1257 or Lynn Matson 669-8572
or
E. You can do one or more of the above.

Because we choose to walk for those who sometimes can't, because we choose to donate to the Walk, we are getting closer to the hour when no one will have to hear the words, "You have MS." Please join us and thanks for your support.

Interacting at the Winter Walk in Downtown Loveland

The Rotary Interact group assited with the events in downtown Loveland this past weekend.  They asked the kids what kind of aminal they would like and were very creative an did monkeys, dogs, swords, butterflys, and much more.  Santa was also availalbe to visit with and get a picture with.  By the way, the Reporter Herald had their pictures in the paper on Sunday, December 7th!  Steve Stoner did a great job with the photos!

 

The guys were pretty busy taking people to the library, however, I caught them with a few minutes to rest.    We have some Rotarians taken advantage of the rides being offered!

   

Below is a picture of our elves on this wonderful sunny day in downtown Loveland.

Alistair & Doreen spent some time with Sorn in Thailand

Here is a photo of Sorn with Doreen and I in front of the Christmas decorations in a Bangkok mall.

The other two photographs are from the rotary club meting. 

I got to talk to them and then there was a group photo with the entire rotary club.

The club has pink as its color so a lot of the men wore pink shirts or pink ties. It was an interesting club in that they had female members, but they also had Rotary Anne's

September 2008 Club newsletter

September 2008 Spice of Life Loveland Rotary Club Greetings Rotarians!    Football weather is here!  With the changes in the air, your Loveland Rotary Club is growing and moving on an incredible path.  If you ever wondered what "Mojo" is, it is what our club has right now.  What an fantastic group, that is doing so much good in the World. Congratulations! Start the Moving Van   With over 4 years of research, the Board of Directors unanimously approved a major improvement for Loveland Rotary. Beginning January 6th, 2009, our new home will be the Fountains of Loveland.  The Pulliam Building has served us well for nearly 70 years.  ADA and safety concerns, our 192+ membership numbers, our room comfort and most importantly, our member feedback, led the Board to this sensible conclusion.  The Fountains has agreed to a minimal cost increase and superior accommodations. This will be a great new chapter in the life of the Loveland Rotary Club.  Our Q&A sheet will soon be posted at www.LovelandRotary.org, and feel free to contact any Director or President Ryan with questions and interests in the Angel Fund.  In fact, Rotarian Bob Snyder has already suggested that a carpool could be based from his downtown Loveland office!  Thanks Bob! In This Issue Start the Moving Van Just Ducky Big Numbers Where's Randy? Just Ducky   Lynn Matson FOREVER!!!  Well, how about that Duck Race Committee this year?  Lynn Matson, Bob Schaible and countless (tireless) others put together an amazing fundraiser for us this year, totalling a net $31,000 for Loveland Rotary, and nearly $38,000 total when we add in the other charities haul.  Swagger?  Yup, our ducks have it.  Nearly 100 Best Dressed and 'Special' Sponsor Ducks, and THOUSANDS of litte duckies racing down the Big Thompson on August 23rd.  Thank you to each and every Rotarian and volunteer that helped make our 2008 Loveland Rotary Rubber Duck Derby a fantastic success! Click on this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUvLYnWCnyk  and see the fun video that Alistair MacDonald put together for our club. Big Numbers   Loveland Rotary is not only growing, it's EXPLODING with outstanding community-serving Rotarians.  With nearly 200 members, our new meeting place coming, and well-developed Committee work, this is a great time to invite QUALIFIED and CARING prospective members to visit our club.  Loveland Rotary is the benchmark service club for our City of Loveland, but did you know it is also a benchmark club for our Rotary District?  Established in 1920, Loveland Rotary continues to support Literacy projects with scholarships, dictionaries and teacher recognition.  PLUS worldwide work to erradicate Polio.  PLUS further developments with our Latin American Dental Projects.  PLUS...PLUS...PLUS...isn't it amazing?  In tough global and economic times, this is what life is all about.  YOU should be very proud to be a part of Loveland Rotary. Where's Randy?   Randy King is one travelling dude, but let's hope he's not becoming a Dallas Cowboys fan.  Randy works so hard as the Chair of our Secretarial Committee, but did you know that he's building things all over the place?  Yup, that might be him in the crane in the picture, putting up a massive new structure in Texas.  Don't forget, we still have members that need to purify their Paul Harris standing ('Click and Be Counted), so call Randy or email him if you haven't gone to www.Rotary.org and viewed your membership information.  Interact News  OUR FUTURE ROTARIANS!!! 8/22/08 The group has enjoyed various activities over the past year.   They utilize the Thompson Valley Rotary Club's Pedal Cabs to spread good will and earn money to fund their various projects.     Starting with Prom 2008, several youth transported prom couples from the parking lot to the dance.   It was a chance for high school students to "market" Interact to other high school students (and they earned ~$50).    Around this time the group was able to send funds with Dorothy Cada and Kathleen Weinmeister (TV Rotarians) who traveled to Myanmar to help with an orphanage.   Their funds directly purchased rice, chairs and soccer balls for the grateful children.   The next venue for the Pedal Cabs was "Cruz-In" nights in Loveland.   A fun event that gave them a chance to spread awareness  of Interact and to work together and organize future events.  (and they earned ~$25)  They have been staying in contact with Greeley West's Interact group and helped market GW Interact's Carwash that was in support of the Windsor Tornado victims.   On that note,  a couple of Loveland Interact  members went to Windsor and picked up roofing and other tornado debris and loaded it into a farm dump truck and took it to the landfill.  Loveland and Greeley Interact groups sprinkled in a couple of barn dance/bbq's this summer.  One of the ways the Interact Club voted to reach out was to make Balloon Animals.   They worked with Mr. Clay to learn the tricks of turning balloons into smiles.   They used this new found skill on the 4th of July when they created hundreds of animals for children at the park.   The event also gave them the opportunity to once again use the Pedal Cabs.   Here they earned ~$400  from the balloons, cabs and by selling beverages.     At that same event they sold 44 Duck Race Tickets.    They are planning to help sell even more Duck Race Tickets at the Corn Roast Festival.  The next action item for the youth is to plan their Inauguration Ceremony for the first part of the school year.      They have plans to use their funds for International projects and their time and talents for local activities, specifically helping area children.    For more information contact Darryl Beemer at 635-2379 or Brooke Regan at 667-9532.  Please call or email Ryan Ferrero with any ideas, thoughts, concerns or matters that need attention.  While our transition for our meeting location is long over due, it is not easy to change.  Carpooling, the 'Angel Fund', meals information, so much to do by the first of the year.  Rest assured your Board of Directors has been and is working diligently to maximize your membership.  Yours in Rotary, Ryan J. Ferrero
