What I Learned from Visiting the Denver Southeast Rotary Club
Every once in a while, I leave a Rotary meeting thinking less about what happened and more about how it made me feel. That was my experience after visiting the Denver Southeast Rotary Club.
As District Membership Chair, I have the privilege of visiting clubs throughout our district. Every club has its own personality, traditions, and strengths, and I enjoy every visit because there is always something to learn. But this visit stayed with me long after I drove home.
Join me as I share what I experienced.
This story begins with a simple question from Vern Hansen of the Rotary Club of Northglenn/Thornton, and it quickly became something much more—ultimately leading to the launch of a new Rotary satellite club in an active adult community, now the second of its kind in our district. What started as curiosity about a missing piece in a vibrant neighborhood at Heritage Todd Creek turned into a series of conversations, gatherings, and growing interest that slowly shaped itself into something real. It’s a reminder that sometimes the right question, asked at the right time, can open the door to an entirely new way of building community through Rotary.
ebbie Setlock and I started the Membership Huddle two years ago, we had a simple idea: create a place where membership leaders could come together, share what they were experiencing, and learn from one another.
