Wednesday, July 18th, began the official kickoff for your Rotary Club’s centennial celebration with the dedication at the Café Grove at the Gardens on Spring Creek. This event celebrated all four Rotary Clubs in Fort Collins along with the gratitude to Bob and Joyce Everitt for inspiring us to make this another great service project to the City of Fort Collins. Bob and Joyce's daughter, Claudia Gillum joined, representing the Everitt family.
The Gardens on Spring Creek is a spectacular community effort, and Rotary’s role will be a legacy for the next century. Members of the four Rotary Clubs in Fort Collins have much to celebrate. After all, this celebration has been 100 years in the making.
