Denver Mile High Calendar

March 31^st  - Max Wycisk, President, Colorado Public Radio

Presentation Description: American Journalism At A Crossroads: The Future Is Now

American journalism is at a crossroads. We live in an era where we are seeing daily newspapers, long the bastion of local independent reporting and accountability, failing in Colorado and around the country. At the same time, broadcast newsrooms are shrinking as well. Fewer traditional journalists are reporting less news. Independent reporting that is so critical as a source of information, analysis, understanding, and particularly local community knowledge has been seriously diminished.

What role will Public Radio play in this changing landscape?

April 7^th – TBA

April 14^th - On April 14, Club members will have a chance to participate in Strategic Planning for the Foundation of Denver Mile High.  This will give you a chance to discuss and share ideas about:

--whether the Club should have a Foundation

--the purpose (mission) of the Foundation

--the integration between fundraising and the projects that the Club sponsors each year

--how much the Club should spend on projects each year.

Over the next three weeks we'll share background information to prepare you for the discussions.

This is an important part of the Club's operation.  I hope that you will be at the meeting and ready to share your thoughts about the Club's Foundation.

April 21^st – TBA

April 28^th - Christopher Price, an attorney at Murray Dahl Kuechenmeister & Renaud, will talk to the Club about Medical Marijuana Basics. His program is interesting and engaging.  Club members will learn some new things and have food for thought after his presentation.

Hello Family and Friends!

My sorority, Alpha Chi Omega, is helping to raise money to support Northrise University in Zambia, Africa.  As the first privately recognized university in Zambia, Northrise is dedicated to "Empowering the people of Zambia, one student at a time!". 

I know that the economy is not great right now, so do not feel obligated to donate.  We have been told that $5 will feed a student for a week, so every bit counts.  I'm meeting with President Moffat of Northrise today for lunch so I can learn more about this great cause.

The donation process is simple.  Follow this link for details:

Thanks in advance for the support.

The Rotary District Assembly is a half-day training event hosted by our District.  The event is scheduled for Saturday morning, June 5th from 8:00 AM until 1:00 PM. Start your day with some coffee and a continental breakfast, and then participate in some excellent training to prepare you for specific leadership roles in our club. There are training sessions dedicated to a wide variety of jobs, including Club Secretary, Club Treasurer, Committee Chairs, Membership, the Rotary Foundation... and many more. This is also an EXCELLENT opportunity for a new Rotarian to learn a lot about Rotary in general, in a short period of time. For those who volunteer to attend the District Assembly, this activity will count as a make-up for your attendance AND the Denver Mile High Rotary Club will reimburse you for your registration fee.
