Our Rotary Club is providing washable face masks to help protect against COVID-19, to some hospitals in the U.S.
Whether you help through monetary donations, volunteering your time, or spreading our mission through word-of-mouth, thank you. We couldn't accomplish our goals without the help of supporters like you.
Some of our initiatives current and past include:
Rev Susan Holden, an ordained elder, serves as a campus pastor for Desert Skies United Methodist Church. Her family is originally from Nashville, TN. Susan is especially pleased to be in Vail because, "even as a fast-growing area, there is clearly a culture of care for people and concern for quality of community".
Our Rotary Club had a Zoom Meeting last December 12, 2020 with Guest Speaker Keron Watson.
