Come May 28 to Hear Doug Frisbie Talk About the Estes Park Salud Foundation

Doug Frisbie and his spouse, Eileen Flaherty, moved to Estes Park in 1989 with their two young daughters.

Since moving to Estes Park, Doug served on the School Board for eight turbulent years, conducted an ill-advised campaign for a seat in the Colorado House of Representatives, drove the shuttle, and learned to bake bread at Notch Top. He retired in 2010; his last job was working for Engineers Without Borders.

He started the Estes Park Salud Foundation to support the Salud Clinic in 1997, long before he understood what a foundation did, let alone how to grow a foundation.

Currently, Doug is the president of the Estes Park Salud Foundation, a small group of members who have worked together for over 34 years to keep the clinic open for our uninsured neighbors.

The Rotary Weekly Luncheon is held at the American Legion. Lunch is served from 11:30 a.m. to noon for $20. The meeting and speaker begin at noon. Please park at the American Legion or the church across the street.
