President's Message
 

Greetings, Denver/Lake Norman Rotarians!

Our holiday season has gotten off to a great start.  Our joint effort with ELBA on the Denver Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting saw record attendance.  What a wonderful way for Rotarians to be involved with our community!

By now, you all should have received a "Punchbowl" invitation to our next Rotary social to join Jeane and I for a potluck and "white elephant" gift exchange at our home on Wednesday, December 18th at 5:30 pm.  Thank you to Michelle Busch and her Social Committee for helping to organize what promises to be a fun event.

This Wednesday, our own Brandon Blell will be our speaker.  I hope to see you then!

2024 USO "Helmet Fund" Has Another Successful Year
 
Denver/Lake Norman Rotary has concluded its support for the USO with this year's 'Helmet Fund'. The men and women of our uniformed services, most especially those deployed into active combat zones, are very grateful to our Club for its annual outpouring of caring and support. The NHL will again match dollar for dollar all USO donations.

Charlie thanked the good Lord he doesn’t live in NY anymore with 5 ft of snow to shovel.

Morrie Thankful for our military while his father had orthopedic surgery recently. Morrie is taking a new position that will have him travelling to mentor churches. Happy to have been involved with this rotary group and he will remain in the area.

Panico is excited for Morrie’s new job and mentioned that the Blumenthal latest show was cool.

Joe visited LA recently got to see Disneyland, enjoying Thanksgiving with family. Also, East Lincoln Community chorus show will be at 4 pm after the parade at Unity Church.

Rich thankful for Illinois trip, and didn’t hear from Jim on Saturday.

Steve putting out posters was interesting got many reactions from people wanting to know if he needed help or food…. except the vape shop guys they just let him put up the posters with no judgements about his hair!
