Thanks to everyone who joined our meeting on Tuesday! We had 47 people total, all Steamboat Rotarians! Quite impressive since it was spring break week!
Cory Christensen saved the day with a Thought for the Day - "On vacation, you can start drinking at 8 am or when it hits 80 degrees. Whichever comes first. The same is true for eating ice cream!"
Carol Johnson led Good News today bringing in $471!
On the 22nd anniversary of the horrendous Columbine shooting, we were lucky enough to receive an incredible presentation from Steve Jensen, who was a prosecutor in the cases against Philip Duran and Mark Manes for their part in supplying the weapons used in the shootings on April 20, 1999. Thank you, Steve, for your incredible work on the case. As we heard over and over on the call, we will never forget that day!

Rotary Cares Update: Thanks Marci Valicenti for staying in touch with our Rotarians as they run into different obstacles! It is much appreciated. A couple of Rotarians that you should know about right now-
Lori Livingston had a double knee replacement in March. She has had a rough recovery so far, but believes the worst is behind her. She does not need meals at this time and has had her daughter home with her until last Saturday. She will reach out if she needs rides, meals, or anything else!She is hoping to go to Maine in early May to be with her entire family for a month!Jim Grew is recovering from passing out due to heat exhaustion – has many bruises over his body. Right now he does not need any help.Cory Christensen will be having knee replacement on Friday – since he is the chef of their family, he would appreciate some meals while recovering. Marci sent out an email to the club for people to bring Chief and his wife meals. Please make sure you keep Marci in the loop if you do take something so she knows he is being well cared for!As always, when people are injured or recovering, they really appreciate hearing from their fellow Rotarians!
