Greeley Centennial Rotary
We had a great program from High Plains Housing Development on November 21. Executive Director Jodi Hartman shared the exciting news about their latest project, StarRise Apartments, part of their North Weld Campus at 123 9th Avenue. The apartments are the first phase in the development of a piece of land originally used by North Weld Produce and donated to High Plains by Dennis Hoshiko.
Club Member Captain Matt Turner and Lieutenant Ben Endreson, both introduced our November Sam Brownlee/Service Above Self recipient Byron Kastilahn. In 2020, Byron was assigned as the first full-time, cold-case detective for the Weld Sheriff’s Office. He was praised for the meticulous care, attention to detail, and cutting-edge technology he used in solving these cases. He has solved several cold-case murders and identification of investigated deaths. He is also a team player, taking temporary assignments when the need arose. He has recently moved to a new department but will use all his skills in his new position and will continue to be a model officer for the Weld County Sheriffs Office
The Centennial Rotary Benevolence Committee, chaired by Presidents-elect Kim Larson and Gary Hogan, continues to award grant funds to local non-profit groups. In November, grants were awarded to the Weld Community Foundation and High Plains Honor Flight. What a great way to share Rotary’s spirit of Service Above Self!
Talk about “Unite for Good”! Rotarians from multiple clubs got together to create a Rotary-themed tree for UCCC’s Festival of Trees. The tree highlights our service to the local and the international community. Tree designers include: Nina Lewis, Gena Wickes, & Diana Phelps from Downtown Rotary; Jennifer Sears from Redeye Rotary; Jessica Hernandez and Karoline Woodruff from Centennial/Satellite Rotary. The Festival of Trees will be open thru Saturday the 6th. Make sure you visit the Rotary Tree when you go to UCCC in the next few days.
