State of The Town
The State of The Town Event was held on Tuesday, February 21st at the PACE Center.  
 
 
 

Rotary President Kam Breitenbach Provided a Welcome to the Event

Rotarian and City Council Woman, Renee Williams, provided a beard-a-ful introduction to the Mayor. 
 

Parker Mayor, Mike Waid, in his typical fashion, provided an outstanding State of the Town Address.

Impact Award Winner(s)
This year, there were two nominees for the Parker Impact Award.  Nominees included Nicole DeVries, who serves as the Outreach Director for Southeast Christian Church and Joint Task Force, and a group nominee consisting of the Douglas County Sheriff's SWAT Team, South Metro Fire and Rescue and the Parker Police Departmnt who were the first to respond when an active shooter situation occurred close to Sierra Middle School in which Detective Dan Brite was critically wounded.   
 
Given the strong commitment to service by both nominees, each received the award.  Congratulations to all award recipients for a job well done; we are very proud of you!
 
Thanks to our Parker Impact Award Chair, Rotarian Tom VanderHeiden, for all of his hard work!  Good job Tom!
 
BUILD WORLD PEACE! HOST JUUSO HAAPALA!
Rotary adopted the Youth Exchange program over eighty years ago as one of its first youth programs designed to build world peace and understanding through sending youth abroad to study for a school year in other countries thus building in youth of the sending and receiving countries a true cultural knowledge of people in other lands.
 
This year our club has the privilege of hosting a fine young man from Finland---Juuso Haapala. Hosting is a club responsibility.  Juuso has been attending Ponderosa High School as a senior. I was his first host family from August 5 until November 20 and he is now with his second host family which has two students attending the high school. Juuso met one of these students in his Peace Jam club at the high school who then spoke to her family about inviting Juuso to live with them.
 
I am now searching for a third host family.
 
As the club's Youth Exchange Officer it is my responsibility to find Juuso a third host family which will care for him from March 1 until the end of the school year---about June 1---when he will return to Finland. To state the obvious any responsible individual or couple can care for Juuso. I will greatly appreciate your help in locating someone who will care for this young man. If no one is located then I must again serve as his host family thus preventing Juuso from the benefit of a third host family. The Youth Exchange program envisions three host families caring for a youth so that they can experience different family environments and personalities and can optimize their experience in learning about the country they are visiting. Please help me succeed in fulfilling the purpose of this program.
 
Please call or write to me with any leads or ideas you may have and I will follow-up. Thank you for your kind assistance.
