We will use this section to provide regular updates on Member-only topics, including club business updates.
Membership & Marketing Committee Updates

- New membership packet created, available for download on homepage
- Mailing campaign started this month! Thanks to Lou Wagner for his support!
- Membership & Marketing plan underway... We have purchased new vests and a table runner for events. We are finalizing updates to our tri-fold, are beginning to plan monthly social events for young professionals (starting in September), and much more.
- Want to join us? We meet periodically, typically at happy hour. Let Tom, Taylor, or Jenni know. Next meeting is Aug. 2 at 5:00pm MT at High Side Brewery in Frisco. You don't even have to join the committee to come share your thoughts, or just enjoy a beer with us!!
Speakers
- Please continue to share any ideas that you have about speakers that you'd like to hear from.

- We can work together, or Jenni can contact the speaker directly to coordinate.
Breck Food & Wine Festival
- Thanks again to all our volunteers!! You helped in so many ways - from gathering donations to pouring wine to making the silent auction a big success!
- Overall, we raised about $10,000 for our club's great causes!! (Pretty darn good for a club our size!)
Trail Clean-Up
- Per Robin's email, we have agreed to forego the trail clean-up this year.
- If you would like to attend the Aug. 4th cleanup at Rotary Peak, they may have enough volunteers, but you can perhaps act as a "steward". Contact FDRD for more information.
- There is a "Welcome Hike" at Rotary Peak on Sept. 9th to welcome all the Exchange Students and their families. Feel free to join in that really fun occasion!! (Note: We may also be involved with Oktoberfest that weekend, but the hike is on Sunday, and we typically volunteer on Saturday)
- Feel free to go online to the FDRD site and check out some individual volunteer opportunities.
Club Roles

- Great leadership training opportunity! Our district provides training (e.g. PETS, manuals)
- We can discuss time commitments - if you're interested in learning more, contact Robin.
- Interested in helping us with Grant-writing?
- Tom Myers has been doing this for years and is looking for someone to help take over this important role.
- It is not very time-consuming and can bring great value $$ to our club and to our community!!
