Members, guests and friends of Rotary Club of Broomfield Crossing attended a Halloween Party on Tuesday, Oct 29th at the home of Marie Rowe. Everyone brought a food to share and wore costumes, and I'm pretty sure a good time was had by all. This party was part of our 5th Tuesday Celebrations  -  instead of our regular Tuesday morning meeting, on the 5th Tuesday we hold a FUN event in the evening where we can have guests and enjoy fellowship. Look for information on future 5th Tuesday Celebrations  ...  and a BIG THANKS to Marie for hosting the party.

Members of Rotary Club of Broomfield Crossing participated in and contributed $'s to the Broomfield community CROP Walk on Sunday, Oct 6th.

CROP (Christian Rural Overseas Program) Hunger Walks are community-wide events sponsored by Church World Service and organized by local congregations or groups to raise funds to end hunger at home and around the world. With its inception in 1969, CROP Hunger Walks are "viewed by many as the granddaddy of charity walks," notes the Los Angeles Times (Oct. 26, 2009).

CROP Hunger Walks help to support the overall ministry of Church World Service, especially grassroots, hunger-fighting development efforts around the world. In addition, each local CROP Hunger Walk can choose to return up to 25 percent of the funds it raises to hunger-fighting programs in its own community. CROP Hunger Walks help to provide food and water, as well as resources that empower people to meet their own needs. From seeds and tools, to wells and water systems, to technical training and micro-enterprise loans, the key is people working together to identify their own development priorities, their strengths and their needs--something CWS has learned through some 64 years of working in partnership around the world.

Rotary Club of Broomfield Crossing was pleased to welcome into membership Stan Harding and Bill Scolari at our business meeting this past Tuesday, Sept 24th. Pictured here are Club President Mike Daniels, new member Stan Harding, new member Bill Scolari, and Area Governor Dan Hershberger following the new member induction ceremony.

Please join us for a GREAT breakfast PIE and Rotary fellowship each Tuesday morning!

Riders joined us on Saturday, May 11^th, 2013 for the 1^st Annual Triple C Bike Ride. The Colorado Coal Century or “Triple C” Bike Ride was put on by passionate Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Broomfield Crossing along with premium sponsors Infinitus PIE and Golden Bear Bikes to create this one of a kind early season century trainer to get cyclists ready for summer riding season and raise money for our Rotary Club and the Second Wind Fund of Boulder and Broomfield Counties www.swfbc.org, a critical teen suicide prevention program. Other sponsors included: John Rowe, Swan Ink, Broomfield Auto Center, Old Style Sausage, and TopTrack, LLC.

The scenic route was carefully selected with the help of some avid cyclists, following the historic northern Colorado coal seam that runs from Marshall in the southwest to the Dacono, Frederick Firestone townships in the northeast. It was a 104.3 mile ride, had a relatively low 2185 feet of elevation gain. Starting at Infinitus PIE in Broomfield, heading northeast and meander through beautiful farm country to the tri cities of Dacono, Frederick and Firestone, swinging back through Berthoud, Longmont, Niwot, Gunbarrel, Boulder, Marshall, Superior, ride the "Mini Wall” and head back to Infinitus PIE for tasty post ride iPIE’s, beers, and festivities.

We look forward to hosting this ride again next spring and for many years to come. Please watch for announcements on this web site and in future publications.

First Annual Triple C Bike Ride

7AM May 11^th 2013

Ride

Please join us for a rollicking day of riding and fun on the first annual Colorado Coal Century or "Triple C" Bike Ride.  Passionate Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Broomfield Crossing are joining forces with Infinitus PIE, Golden Bear Bikes, and our other sponsors to create this one of a kind early season century trainer to get cyclists ready for summer riding season and raise money for our Rotary Club and the Second Wind Fund of Boulder and Broomfield Counties, a critical teen suicide prevention program.

Causes

The Rotary Club of Broomfield Crossing is sponsoring this ride to raise funds for the Second Wind Fund of Boulder County (www.swfbc.org) and our charitable causes including our international youth exchange program, summer sponsorship of kids in the Young Rotary Youth Leadership Awards program (http://www.rmryla.org/) and the annual Santa Eddy Christmas party with Broomfield County Health and Human Services. We recognize that mental health issues need special attention in our community and are committed as a club to providing special support for these programs in Broomfield County.

Second Wind Fund of Boulder County is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide free counseling services to at risk youth in Boulder County.  This event is also designed as a remembrance of those we’ve lost to suicide and a celebration of all who choose life!

Route

The carefully planned Triple C ride is an early season trainer for the century ride enthusiast. Our scenic route was carefully selected with the help of some avid cyclists and one that mirrors the historic northern Colorado coal seam that runs from Marshall in the southwest to the Dacono, Frederick Firestone townships in the northeast.

It is a 104.3 mile ride, has a relatively low 2185 feet of elevation gain. Starting at Infinitus PIE in Broomfield, we head northeast and meander through beautiful farm country to the tri cities of Dacono, Frederick and Firestone.  There we swing back through Berthoud, Longmont, Niwot, Gunbarrel, Boulder, Marshall, Superior, ride the "Mini Wall” and head back to Infinitus PIE for tasty post ride iPIE’s, beers, and festivities. See the route map at http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/182449786 for more detailed information.

Why Triple C? 

We want to remember the historic northern Colorado coal seam while honoring the miners and mining companies that developed our area.  King Coal has always and continues to play a critical role in all aspects of the American economy and the long forgotten Northern Colorado Coal seam was the early lynchpin of development for the northwest Denver metropolitan area.  We want to provide a context for constructive conversation about America and her energy future.

Ride Details

The first annual Triple C rain or shine ride is a non supported ride; there will not be any official aid stations.  We have made arrangements for riders to use facilities with businesses along the route and will be running two sag vehicles and support riders along the route.  There is a 50 rider limit.

The ride starts at iPIE, 245 Nickel Street in Broomfield at 7 AM on May 11^th and has a $65 entry fee. 

All riders receive a commemorative first annual Triple C shirt, a tasty Infinitus PIE at the end of the ride, and the knowledge that they helped two outstanding organizations making a substantial difference in our communities.

Sponsors

Infinitus PIE, Golden Bear, the Second Wind Fund of Boulder County and the Rotary Club of Broomfield Crossing are our current sponsors. More to follow.
