Greeley Centennial Rotary
Please welcome our two newest Rotarians. Melissa Marmitt and Lauren Smith joined as Corporate Members. They both work in the City of Greeley Office Office of Economic Development. Scott inducted them into the Thursday group. Satellite PE Gary Hogan sponsored them into Centennial Rotary and joined us for their induction. The corporate membership allows Lauren to take Melissa’s place at meetings that she cannot attend, so we hope to see them frequently. They both have interesting stories and jobs – take some time to get to know them. Please welcome our two newest Rotarians. Melissa Marmitt and Lauren Smith joined as Corporate Members.

2. Sam Brownlee for February
The Sam Brownlee recipient for March is from the Weld County Sheriff’s office. Lisa Carpenter served for 20 years as a deputy and school resource officer before she moved to the Civil Desk in the office, though she still keeps in touch with the schools she served. Through her different positions, she has served as the President of Weld Elves. All of her work for Weld Elves is on her own time. Matt Turner, commented that she can be found in the office as late as midnight, waiting for a delivery of toys. This year, they served 1900 children from 650 families. Matt said that Lisa characterizes “Service Above Self” in her time as a deputy, her work at the Civil Desk, and especially her work with Weld Elves.Congratulations, Lisa!
As we prepare for our 50th Anniversary Celebration next week, it seemed like a good idea to learn more about the early years of the club. Who better to tell the stories than our two remaining charter members - Bob Shreve and Jerry Stugart. We had a great time listening to tales of the early years of Greeley Centennial Rotary.
Watch for a video of the program. It will be posted in a few days!
