Rotary Make-Ups are fun, especially while on vacation

I had the opportunity to do a make-up at the Rotary Club of Summit County in Frisco, CO this week. I felt very much at home, for this club reminded me of our club. This was a very dynamic breakfast club with a 106 members. They were very welcoming and there was a high energy level in the room. They reported on many local and international projects, one member just returned from Guatemala and one was off to Haiti (sounds very familiar). They had two RYE students give their update from a recent district event and their AG is from their club. I was one of 10 guests, visitors or prospective members. One “Frequent Visitor” (as stated on his name badge) was from Kenosha, WI.

I liked that they displayed all of their Rotary banners. This must be a very popular club to visit, for I counted about 14 exchange banners and each one had an average of 50 club flags. So now our club’s flag will be displayed beside the other 700+ club flags. I was fortunate to sit next to their club President, Rolando Cuadrado who also invited me to attend their club social. At that social I met some more wonderful Rotarians who have gravitated to that area because of the phenomenal skiing and majestic beauty of the Rockies. So if you are visiting Summit County on a Tues, please consider doing a make-up with the Rotary Club of Summit County, you will immediately feel part of this Rotary family and meet some outstanding Rotarians.

Best, Brian
