Pagosa Springs Rotary ClubWe had a "Golden" opportunity for a meeting last week. It was an opportunity for conversation and sharing. Something that struck me was that it was an opportunity to be grateful. We think of 'gold' or "golden" to be a precious thing. All of what was shared were certainly precious things to be grateful for! Did you know that gratitude improves our health, relationships, emotions, personality, and career?
We were grateful for Bob and Patty Tillerson! Bob, having just turned 91 last week and Patty to join him at 90 this week and 70 years married!
Other 'golden' thoughts:
- Chimney Rock is celebrating 5 years as a National Monument!
- Ron Gustafson was able to take an 'Honors Flight' to Washington D.C. honoring his service in WWll
- Ramona Tschaar's daughter turned 39 years old
- Carrie Weiss's son Garrett and daughter-in-law, Meagan, just closed on a home in Bayfield!
- Ray & JoAnn Laird were married on a houseboat on Lake Powell. Inside of his golden band was inscribed Happy Labor Day
- Jann Pitcher told us that to be a 'golden' guest, you need to be the first person at the birthday party
- We had lots of happy wishes over 'golden' anniversaries and grand kids
- We celebrated Nick Tallent's 7.5 years since he moved to Pagosa Springs
President Kim even made cookies
Jann Pitcher was asked to share a 'Rotary Moment'. She said she had thought quite awhile about what exactly to share and ended up with thoughts from Paul Harris. She noted that Rotarians care about other people; they care about their community. Larger than that, they care about the world we live in and its future.

Which is a perfect transition to Rotarians caring about early childhood education and the fund raising efforts of Seed of Learning. Coming up soon is the 'Little Black Dress' affair. Anyone who can go (well ladies anyway) should do so and support these efforts. President Kim made gifts of several items and with the help of Melanie Garrett and Jennelle Syverson - they showed us a beautiful "Evening in Italy" basket. Contents included a large pasta bowl and utensils, wine, and all the fixings including a movie! This should fetch a hefty amount toward the fund raising effort!
Nick Tallent - our social media mogul - a mogul is a person who dominates an enterprise or industry - REMINDS US - to like and SHARE! The magic begins with the SHARE. That means that whatever the post, it goes to YOUR network of friends, who can SHARE it with their network of friends and so on.....the power of social media!
