District Conference Update: Steve Sehnert gave a District Conference update to the club. The Rotary Club of Steamboat Springs was recognized with TWO amazing awards (and we were mentioned often throughout the conference). The club received the "Innovative Fundraising Award" for the successful Poker Run fundraiser spearheaded by Eric Rabesa and Brett Allison. Also, we received the "President of the Year" award for all of the amazing things we were able to pull off this year! I am honored to have my name on the award, and I know fully that it is a CLUB award. You will see in the attached nominations that were submitted to the district that these awards are reflection of the hard work and dedication of the entire club. They are great resumes of all that we accomplished in a funky year!
