Worldwide there are 527 districts in 159 countries. The free world is divided into territories known as Rotary Districts with which the clubs are associated. The Evergreen Club is in District 5450, which is comprised of 53 clubs that span an area from Northern Colorado to the town of Parker, Colorado. Total district membership is over 3,000 Rotarians. A President governs Rotary International with a board of directors elected from all over the world.

Membership in Rotary

Who is a Rotarian?

Rotarians are business and professional leaders who take an active role in their communities while greatly enriching their personal and professional lives. A Rotary club contains a diverse group of professional leaders from the community that the club serves.

Benefits of Rotary

Membership in a Rotary club offers a number of benefits, including:• Effecting change within the community• Advancing business and professional contacts• Developing leadership skills• Gaining an understanding of, and having an impact on, international humanitarian

issues

Through Rotary International's service programs, a Rotary club can have a significant effect on the quality of life in its community. Rotary Foundation programs offer opportunities to form international partnerships that help people in. need worldwide. Some 1.2 million Rotarians in 34,000 autonomous clubs in more than 160 countries make significant contributions to the quality of life at home and around the globe.

Rotary International is one of the world's largest service organizations. The goal for a club's membership is an up-to-date and progressive representation of the community's business, vocational, and professional interests.

An important distinction between Rotary and other organizations is that membership in Rotary is by invitation. Rotary clubs invite individuals to join and become members.

Membership is vital to a Rotary club's operations and community service activities. A primary goal of the club is to continually expand the club with committed members who have the interest and ability to get involved in service and humanitarian projects.

Membership Requirements

Members must:• Hold or be retired from a professional, proprietary, executive, or managerial position• Have the capacity to meet the club's weekly attendance or community project

participation requirements• Live or work within the locality or the surrounding area of the club

5/6/2023 6/23

Often a person being considered for membership is invited by a member/sponsor to attend one or more club meetings to learn more about Rotary. The sponsor may then submit the name of the candidate to the club's membership committee. An individual who is interested in membership but doesn't know any Rotarians may contact the local club directly. Rotary uses a classification system to establish and maintain a vibrant cross-section or representation of the community's business, vocational, and professional interests among members and to develop a pool of resources and expertise to successfully implement service projects. This system is based on the founders' paradigm of choosing cross-representation of each business, profession, and institution within a community.

A classification describes either the principal business or the professional service of the organization that the Rotarian works for or the Rotarian's own activity within the organization. Some examples of classifications include high schools, universities, eye surgery, banking, pharmaceutical-retailing, petroleum-distribution, and insurance agency.

5/6/2023 7/23

Each Rotarian is expected to participate in one of the Avenues of Service.

The Rotary Club Objective in Five Avenues of Service

Our objective is based on the ideal that service is a worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage, foster, and implement this within the four avenues of service listed below.

1. Club Service – The cornerstone of Rotary service. It is service that makes the Rotary wheel turn, assuring that all club members work well together. It seeks to promote the spirit of fellowship in which every service should be rendered inside as well as outside the club.

2. Community Service – The use of high ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying, by each Rotarian, of their occupation as an opportunity to serve society.

3. Vocational Service – The application of the ideal of service by every Rotarian to their occupation as an opportunity to serve society.

4. International Service – The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a worldwide fellowship of business and professional people united in the ideal of service.

5. Youth Service - Recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities such as RYLA, Rotaract, and Interact, youth service projects, and creating international understanding with Rotary Youth Exchange.

Our Story

The Rotary Club of Evergreen, Colorado, has a luminous history, starting with the Charter Night on April 13, 1985. Thirty charter members were privileged to hear Cliff Dochterman, President of the University Hills Rotary club (and later RI President) deliver the keynote speech. The Lakewood Foothills Rotary was recognized as our sponsoring club.

We met downstairs at El Rancho restaurant for the first five years. It is ironic that 20 years and five locations later, the club began meeting once again at El Rancho in 2004. We moved to our current location, the Evergreen Country Day School in 2012, at the closing of the El Rancho restaurant.

In 1990 the club moved to Mount Vernon Country Club on Lookout Mountain. Strong leadership prevailed, and by the mid-1990s the club began to appear often and predominately on the District 5450 and RI Rotary maps. The club achieved District awards, the most prestigious being the Paul Harris Award for Excellence that recognized that the membership was heading in the right direction.

The goal was to make a wider and longer path. In 1997 the club found itself in a quandary. Club membership had not grown and was slowly declining. Growth in membership was paramount. The leadership decided that changing the location, time, and place of our meetings would be most beneficial to the club mission, "to be the premier service club in the surrounding community”.

The gauntlet was thrown and many determined members began actively recruiting new business and professional people from the local community. During the same period, the Evergreen club sponsored the Rotary Club or Conifer (1996), the Rotary Club of Clear Creek (2000), and the Mountain Foothills of Evergreen Rotary Club (2003). All of these clubs have attracted Evergreen residents. Our club has continued steady growth as well.

In 2008, the Rotary Club of Evergreen is the premier service organization in the Colorado foothills and is determined to illuminate, in high beam, the road to success within Rotary. Currently, 105 members are active at the club and district levels.

Over the past few years, our membership has produced:• A District Assistant Governor, District Governor's Aide, and a District Trainer• An overwhelming proportion of RYLA and Young RYLA staff members• Two GSE team leaders• A World Peace Scholar sponsored by our club to represent RI• An award-winning Interact Club of 40 high school youth at Evergreen High School• International grants and projects hi Russia, Haiti, Africa, Guatemala, Peru, and the

Dominican Republic• An outstanding Red Badge New Member and Retention Program that has been

adopted by several clubs within District 5450• A major annual fundraising event, 100 Holes of Golf, that provides our local Rotary

Foundation with significant funds to disperse for projects within our community, ourDistrict, and internationally

5/6/2023 13/23

• At the beginning of 2006, the club has 55 Paul Harris Fellows (PHF). RI recognizes the club with 93 PHFs and 10 Benefactors, which includes those PHFs who have left the club.

• A second Paul Harris Award from District 5450 for Club Excellence

Important Dates in our Club History

November 15, 1985 The club sponsored a banner design contest. The winningentry was submitted by Kevin Bachman of Evergreen Senior High School.

February 1, 1986 Ralph Reiner was elected as Rotary Club of Evergreen's firsthonorary member because of his outstanding contributions:• The "Jeremiah Johnson of Mt. Evans"• Former bomber pilot• Montana actor• Served in two World Wars as a Reserve Lt Colonel• Entrusted with expensive instruments and life support

equipment in the second highest altitude laboratory inNoth America, including a telescope donated by NASA,which is the fifth largest in the world

• A true friend of Rotary who provided a picnic at the top of Mt. Evans in the early years and who "guarded" the Rotary International emblem emblazoned on the rock at the peak.

October 22, 1987 The first eight women were inducted as members of the Rotary Club of Pittsburgh, PA, leading the way for the first woman to be inducted as a member of the Rotary Club of Evergreen in April 1988: Ann Brady, Superintendent of the Jefferson County School System

January 25, 1989 The second community project by the club began as an "Adopt a Highway Program" through the Colorado Highway Department to take responsibility for clean-up maintenance of Highway 70 from the Buffalo Overlook to El Rancho Restaurant and from there on Highway 74 to Bergen Park. Prior to this project, the first club community project was the remodeling of part of the Senior Resource Center Yellow House and the procurement of cut wood for the stove in the house to keep residents warm hi the winter months.

August 2, 1994 The Rotary Club of Golden challenged the Rotary Club of Evergreen to a volleyball game with a large trophy to go to the winning club. The game has become an annual event and thrives as a challenge and a great social event between the two clubs.

To serve as a Club Greeter, you must arrive at a regular Friday morning meeting some time before 6:45 am, so you can greet people as they come in the door. The first person to ask the Club Secretary to be a Greeter before that time will be granted the privilege, so make sure to get there early.

The Evergreen Rotary Board of Directors meets once per month at 6:00 pm on the second Thursday of the month. The location of the meeting can vary from month, so please consult with a Board member or the club President before attending a meeting.
