September 2013 was normally when the Rotary Club of Mead had their annual Sugarbeet Festival. This past year, however, due to the devastating flooding they cancelled the event and turned their attention to helping local communities.

One by one,the Sugarbeet Festival sponsors were contacted and authorized the club to keep the Sugarbeet Festival sponsorship money and use it to help local victims.

So, the Mead Rotary took sponsor and club funding of $3350.00 and submitted an application for additional funds from the Colorado Rotary Flood Disaster Relief Fund and applied $6700 to help families get back on their feet after the flood.

The Mead Food Bank stepped in to help with food, shelter and money. They worked hand-in-hand and helped establish the Milliken Food Pantry. This close working relationship led to an awareness of specific families in dire need. Mead Rotary offered support in the form of money, labor and materials. Much of the money has been spent on the rental of roll-off dumpsters.

More families are awaiting FEMA approval before they can move forward with the demolition of their mobile homes. Steve McCarthy, from LifeBridge Church wrote on behalf of the Johnstown and Milliken area these words to express his gratitude.  “Words can’t express the emotional and psychological grief that comes when a family has to spend money to facilitate the demolition of the home that they’ve known for a long time. It is truly an ‘insult’ piled on top of their ‘injury’. When organizations such as your Rotary club can remove that financial burden, the relief the family experiences goes far beyond the monetary.  Your contribution has a deep and lasting positive impact on these families.”

Demolitions will continue over the next few months. If you have time to spare and want to lend a hand, please contact Steve McCarthy (Lead Pastor, LifeBridge Church) from the Johnstown/Milliken Rotary Club at smccarthy@lbcc.org.

Mead Veterans Flag Dedication Ceremony
Mead Veterans Flag Ceremony1

The Mead Veterans Flag Dedication Ceremony was held Wednesday November 20, 2013 at noon at the Mead Ponds on Welker Ave.


The Mead Rotary Club, Rotary District 5450, CPS & Sons, the Mead Community Foundation and the Town of Mead jointly funded the project. The Mead Rotary Club and local business CPS & Sons volunteered the time to construct the project. With the assistance of the Longmont American Legion Post 32, the flags of the five branches of service were raised along with the Colorado and US flags against the background of the Pledge of Allegiance, the American Legion bugler and a seven member gun salute honor guard on a beautiful Colorado day.

Taking Paul Harris to Heart!

By Marge Mercurio 

It was a party, a meeting, a celebration, a breakfast, a reunion and so much more! It was a local action making a global statement. It was on the cusp of World Understanding Month.

Thirteen Mead Rotarians received Paul Harris Fellows in January at the Mead Town Hall. This group joins four other Mead Rotarians who have received one or more Paul Harris Fellows. It’s known and understood that the money given to Rotary International (RI) is returned to the community in the form of grants. The Mead Rotary club is especially aware of this process because they have written and received grants for their water and sanitation projects in Nicaragua.  Money given to RI comes back in the form of clean water, polio drops, education, literacy, peace resolution and community development and so much more.

But, why stop at 13 Paul Harris Fellows when you can also induct two new club members? Excitement was in the air as the individuals were inducted, welcomed and applauded -- bringing the club total to 30 members.

The celebration included District Governor Mike, Mead Rotary club members, spouses, grandchildren, friends, Mead High School Interact students, visiting members from Carbon Valley Rotary and Longmont Rotary, Assistant Governor Rose Chamberlain, District Secretary Bev Mendel and no doubt the spirit of Paul Harris.

The money donated to Rotary International is nothing until it is paired with dedicated people who have the desire to make a difference. Mead Rotarians make a difference. In 1934, Arch Klumph the mastermind behind the Paul Harris Fellow said,

“Money alone does little good.

Individual service is helpless without money.

The two together can be a Godsend to civilization.”

The Mead Rotary club helps pair money with members, service, giving and fellowship. It’s a thing of beauty – just like the gathering in the Mead Town Hall!
