The Denver Metro North Rotary partnered with Becky Hoffman of Adams County Youth Initiative to find students in need of supplies as the 2011 school year began. We were connected with Global Leadership Academy in the Mapleton School District and were able to provide 15 backpacks and enough supplies for 30 students. We would like to thank Tom and Mickey Robins of Robins Automotive & Towing for matching our contribution dollars and helping us help students in our community.
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime! Education and poverty have an impact on each other. Education develops intellectual capacity and social skills. Levels of education correlate with income levels; and children who complete high school are better equipped to move out of poverty.
Through UCF, The Denver North Metro Rotary club is an Ambassador of Hope, providing 1/2 tuition for 20 Ugandan students attending St. James Secondary School in Jjaga, Uganda, East Africa.

The Rotary Club of Denver Metro North held its charter presentation and induction of 2007-2008 officers Monday, June 25, 2007, at the Ramada Inn in Northglenn.
Rotary club members from Nederland, Lakewood, Broomfield, Parker and other areas attended to watch as the state’s newest club became official.
Provisional president Greg Radziewicz,who wasa driving force in the club’s formation, was made an “official” president for about 15 minutes before turning over the reins to Jerry Rohlfs,
the club’s president for the next year. Both Rohfls and Radziewicz remarked about how they were proud of how the new young club had grown since the idea emerged less than two years ago.
The presentation of the charter was made by Radziewicz and Rotary District Governor Frank Sargent.

the community to pitch their service potential. Over 75 people attended
• Christmas Cards To Argentina
We sent, in conjunction with Northglenn/Thornton Rotary, Westminster 7:10 Rotary and Westminster Rotary, cards to Argentina to be sold and the proceeds used to purchase toys for kids at an orphanage.
• GOALS Inc Email Support
GOALS is a northern area after school support group for at risk kids in Adams 12 school district. While they had computers for the kids and their staff, they had no email. We are continually providing a safe and secure email system for their use.
• GOALS Inc Backpack donation
The initial contact with GOALS came about when they informed us of a need for their kids-basic school supplies. With the assistance of Mark Justice, Office Depot store manager, we were able to procure 150 backpacks filled with supplies.
• Sponsoring Of An Outbound Exchange Student and RYLA
We are quite proud to be sponsoring Laura Snyder as an outbound exchange and RYLA student. She will be attending RYLA this summer before heading to Denmark for a year.

For many weeks past and into the future the club will be donating a book, in the name of our guest speaker, to a local school. This is a long term literacy project.
• Roasting of Noel Busck
As the past mayor and multi-year member of Thornton City Council and current RTD board member, Noel has been very active in the northern area. The club held a Roast in his honor and raised over $36k. After expenses, the money was shared with Noel’s charity of choice and both the club and Noel’s church received roughly $12k.
• Medical Supplies to Dominican Republic and more!
The club has projects coming up! We are just getting started…
The banner had multiple revisions before the final banner was chosen. The final banner was intended to show a view of downtown from the North Metro area, incorporate the mountains and the Rotary Wheel as the sun basically. Lost are the multiple versions of this final banner design, there were dozens of minor tweaks before the banner was completed. Most of the design work was done in conjunction with Dodge Sign Company in Northglenn.

Now while we are all proud of this banner, here are some of the original ideas!
