Rotarian of the Week 10-13-10
Our Rotarian of the Week grew up in Grand Junction, Colorado where she was a Grand Junction High School Tiger. Her favorite meal is homemade gnocchi with her own homemade marinara sauce. Our special Rotarian’s first job besides babysitting was working as a store clerk at “Jack & Jill’s” children’s store. Today, the Honorable Roberta Coates is a Laramie County Circuit Court Judge. Judge Coates loves bike riding, skiing, hiking, and reading. Her and Doug, who is also a Rotarian, have been married 31 years. Judge Coates most memorable Rotary experience was the wonderful presentations and speakers she heard when she attended PETS (the President Elect Training Seminar). She heard how Rotary changes people’s lives here and abroad. Her proudest accomplishment was riding 180 miles on a bicycle in two days. Judge Coates has been a member of our Club since 1993, served as our Club President in 2005-2006, is a multiple Paul Harris Fellow, and recipient of our Club’s Quiet Rotarian Award. And, Judge Coates is still demonstrating service above self by continuing to support our Club’s many programs and projects. Currently, Judge Coates is chairing our Interact Club Committee and is working to establish and sustain an Interact Club in each of our four high schools: Central, East, South and Triumph. In recognition of her service, the Sergeant at Arms presented Judge Coates with a gift certificate to Poor Richards and a bookmark.
