Rotary 2020 Calendar showcases the beauty of Fremont County and provides scholarships
The Rotary Club of Cañon City’s Fremont County calendar for 2020 is now available. The calendar features photos taken by Rotarians or family members and exhibits the beauty of our area, making it the perfect gift for family, friends and visitors to the area.
Proceeds received from calendar sales are used to support the “Let There Be Light” (LTBL) scholarship and the Fallen Officers Scholarship Fund. The LTBL scholarships are for first generation college students and benefit eligible graduates of Cañon City High School. Since the scholarship’s inception in 2009, it has awarded 38 scholarships, totaling $99,000, to deserving students.
The calendar is a cooperative effort between the Rotary Club of Cañon City and Colorado Correctional Industries (CCI). The CCI Print Services Dept. prints the calendars and a portion of the sales benefits the Fallen Officers Scholarship Fund.
To obtain a calendar and donate to this scholarship fund, go to Lindner Chevrolet or the Cañon City Chamber of Commerce. Cash or checks are gratefully accepted.
Cost of the calendar is $15.00, but the ability to help a student receive an education is priceless! Checks should be made out to the “Let There Be Light Scholarship,” with calendar/s in the memo section.
Larry, who is in his last month on the Cañon City School Board, introduced Doug Abernethy and Christine Costa of RTA Architects. The firm was selected to work on the schools project because of their expertise with old buildings
The district received a BEST grant, which leverages excise tax from oil, gas and mining production for or education for construction. Two hundred million available was available last year for $600 million in applications.
Washington Elementary
The new two story structure is being built while students occupy the old school. Grades 1&2 will be in north wing, and higher grades in south wing. A bright color scheme is intended to create a positive learning environment.
The cafeteria is designed so that it can expand into outdoors on good days. The stage can be used both in cafeteria and gym
. The building also has break out spaces for reading and math groups, and those areas have glass walls for light and a sense of space.

Cañon City Middle School
The expansion is an addition on to the existing building that is being preserved as an historic structure.
Main office and community health will be on east side and student/school bus entrance will be on west side of the building. There will also be a health center funded and operated by Valley Wide Health Centers. It will help with learning by giving students a place to get treated for minor health issues.
There will also be a courtyard for outdoor learning and activities. There has been an effort to honor the old historic building in the addition without mimicking it because they cannot recreate the 1920s. That historic building all classrooms, with some improvements like more efficient and secure windows. The floor from the old gym is being repurposed for accents throughout.

- Non Rotarians, have you ever wondered about Rotary, what it does and why you might want to get involved?
- Cañon City Rotary Club members, have you sometimes had trouble explaining Rotary to others?
Perhaps the page below, entitled "Are you the Missing Piece?" can help describe what Rotary is and why someone would want to become a Rotary Club member.

Since 1985, when Rotary launched its ambitious program to immunize all the world’s children against polio,
the number of polio cases worldwide has declined by 99 percent. Through the efforts of Rotary and its partners, more than two billion children have received the oral polio vaccine and five million people who would otherwise have been paralyzed are walking.
Your recent gift validates the strength and resolve of our organization and members, and inspires those who have dedicated themselves to this fight. I am truly moved to think that Rotarians, with the generous support and commitment of people like you, will eradicate polio — keeping the promise we made to all the world’s children. On their behalf, I extend my deep appreciation for your gift.
I invite you to track our progress by subscribing to Rotary’s Weekly Update newsletter, and to create your own ad for Rotary’s “This Close” campaign and share it with your family and Facebook friends.
I look forward to the day when we will celebrate our shared victory over polio. Until then, please accept my sincere thanks for your support. I hope you will consider extending your support for Rotary with a monthly gift to further our efforts to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace, and to end polio forever.
Sincerely,
Kalyan Banerjee
