Rotary Club of Durango Daybreak: The Hands On Club

Rotary Club of Durango Daybreak: The Hands On Club Durango Daybreak Rotary club is the HANDS-ON club, whose members love to give back to their community We don't charge members for meals each week.

Meetings are held at the LaPlata County Fairgrounds, 2500 North Main, Durango Wednesday mornings from 6:45 AM to 8:00 AM. Instead we serve coffee and tea and celebrate sunrise over Durango! We are proud of the fact that by being an inexpensive service club, we attract quality community leaders into our blend of active community based leaders. We encourage educators, the business community, non pro

fit directors and retired individuals to join us. We think this makes for a more diverse membership with a strong giving mentality whether it be with a financial hand up or direct service. Folks around the area regard our club as a very active hands-on oriented club. If you are interested, find one of our members for details or stop by to see us in action at one of our Wednesday morning meetings. We will be glad to show you what we are about! The coffee is always hot, tasty and local!

Daybreak Rotary's bean maven, Dan Clark, delivered a pallet-full of pinto beans to Manna Soup Kitchen. That's a half-ton of split pinto beans. This amount will last Manna about six months. They are used for cooked meals as well as in their grocery store. Fun fact: One half-ton will make 8,000 3/4 cup servings. Pictured are Shawn and Sophie of Manna.

At this morning's Daybreak Rotary Meeting, Bill Tarpley treated a full house to his weekly "Rotary minute".

After his riddle of "what do you call a Hippy's wife (Mississippi)", Bill talked about the inception of Rotary and how the first non-english speaking Rotary was chartered in Cuba in 1916. At a peak of over 60 clubs in Cuba, all charters were rescinded when "Communist Rebellion" happened. Fascinating!
