Today, PAW is the largest and oldest oil and gas trade organization in the state.

2021 Bronco Sport Drawing
Plan to attend this week's meeting to see if you won the Bronco Sport.  The drawing will be held at the meeting.
Board Meeting Decisions
Several important decisions were made at the May 26th Board meeting:
 
1. For the next 6 months the club will pay for lunches for guests of Rotarians.  This decision was made in an attempt to increase membership in the club.
 
2. Another incentive for new membership is 'First Quarter on us.'  New Rotarians will not have to pay their first full quarter of membership dues.
 
3. No masks required and back to eight to a table and buffet food service starting with the June 2 meeting.
 
4. No more hybrid meetings starting with June 2.  All meetings will be in-person only, no Zoom.
 
We recognized and thanked the Reopening Committee primarily lead by Dr. Bud Davis and Board member Rolinda Sample who devised our protocol for decision making during the height of the COVID that lead us to returning to Hybrid meetings last summer, then returning to only Zoom in December and now fully open and returning to normal. District wide, we were the first Club go to Zoom and the first to go to Hybrid. Our protocol was distributed across the District and was used by other clubs to guide their meeting process in response to COVID. Reopening Committee – well done and they have been relieved of duty!
 
Apple Tree Orchard Planted
The Apple Orchard Restoration Planting was completed at the High Plains Arboretum yesterday. Remember that this is one of our District grant projects costing $5600 that includes a District match of $2550, Sunrise Rotary and our Club @ $3,050. We planted 29 trees with the help of the City Forestry staff.
Cheyenne Rotary Clubs Best in the District
The Cheyenne Rotary Club was honored at the 2021 District Conference as the best large club (greater than 50 members) in the district.
The Rotary Club of Cheyenne, demonstrated everything that this year’s logo, “Rotary Opens Opportunities” was meant to include.  The Club took the lead for the virtual meeting platform, opening the opportunity for members and guests to maintain our connections from the very beginning of the pandemic, and then led the way to safely returning to in-person hybrid meetings.  Throughout the pandemic, this club has maintained a consistent membership number.  A $100,000 grant from Microsoft TechSpark program opened the opportunity to install about 50 GutterBins which will assist with improving the ground water quality both in Cheyenne and downstream throughout the mid-west.  Partnering with a local business, the Rotary Club of Cheyenne opened a door to providing a new free online computer coding class to high school students throughout Wyoming.  Through a partnership with the City, Rotary will be planting trees in the apple orchard to help refurbish the Cheyenne Arboretum; a perfect tie in to an ongoing multi-club project to provide character development books and programs to every 2nd grader in Laramie County through the “Andy and Elmer’s Apple Dumpling Adventure” project.  Additional Club funds have been used to support other local non-profits that are meeting the needs of our community.  Rotary members actively participate in District leadership, including strong leadership of the District’s Cowboy Country Youth Exchange.  Forty eight percent of the club’s 163 members hold Paul Harris Fellowship designation, and 10% of club members are members of the Paul Harris Society.  Combined with donation directly from the Club and from individual members, this club gave an average of over $150/member to TRF (Annual Fund plus Polio Plus). Through the Rotary Club of Cheyenne, Rotary does open opportunities  - for our local community, the world at large, and for Rotary members.
 
The After Hours Rotary Club of Cheyenne was honored as the best small club (less than 50 members) in the district.
