Upcoming Events

Colorado Fall Home Show, September 8-10, 2017: Rich Kramer, Jim Gracey and Dennis Hein are working with the Garden Show Foundation preparing for this event. Time commitment is substantially less than the Spring Garden and Home show but we still need to provide 4-5 people for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We do all ticket sales using the computer system which becomes standard operating procedure for both shows going forward. This is a great time to train at a less busy event than the spring show. We are still looking for a person to work Friday Morning.

KRAMER’S CORNER: Here is another bit of wisdom Rich Kramer has sent me:

AT YOUR NEXT MASSAGE, TRY THE SANDER!

As therapy appliances get pricey, team coaches/trainers are raiding garages and power tool storesturning power tools into turbo-charged robo-masseurs.

* Jigsaw with a lacrosse ball epoxied to it for limbering athletes limbs.

* Orbital sander with a lamb’s wool bonnet or a battery powered car buffer to warm up baseball pitchers muscles and create blood flow. This is especially effective on lower body and thigh muscles.

DearLinda,
As you know, the GLP Global Grant for the 2016-2017 Rotary year was recently approved by The Rotary Foundation for the amount of $435,583. This incredible gift will change the lives of over 6,000 students and teachers through the GLP's four proven programs. Check out this year's latest measurable results:



That's incredible! But we can't stop there. There are thousands more deserving students who do not yet have the educational opportunities they need to work their way out of poverty----and this is your chance to help.
Will you ask your club to join the 2017-2018 GLP Global Grant?
Your club's donation will be included on Global Grant #1752923, hosted by the Rotary Clubs of La Reforma, Guatemala (D-4250) and Calgary, Alberta (D-5360), and----thanks to district and Foundation matching----your donation may multiply up to 3.5 times!
We need all pledges promised by December 1 at the absolute latest.
Please visit our website to join the Global Grant now or get resources to share the GLP with your club. Also, please don't hesitate to respond to this email to let us know about your progress or request additional help or information.
Thank you again for your commitment to the GLP. Together, we can provide Guatemalan children the education they need to realize a future beyond poverty.
Sincerely,
Barb Young,
Global Grant International Sponsor 2017-2018
