SERVICE ABOVE SELF

Aurora Rotary and the Arapahoe County Clerk's office remind you all to register to vote.

Here is some information for voters in Arapahoe County:

In Colorado, eligible voters are able to register (in person at a Voter Service and Polling Center) and cast a ballot up to 7 p.m. on Election Day itself, but of course we encourage everyone to do it immediately (or to check and make sure their registration information such as last name and address are current) at GoVoteColorado.gov. Individuals can also register or update their registration information online at that site.

-Almost any question a voter/potential voter could have can be answered at ArapahoeVotes.com

-Our Elections Hotline is also a readily available resource: 303-795-4511

-The “Life of a Ballot” video is an excellent (and brief) explainer on how our mail ballot system works: https://youtu.be/-c3xJzvcYLE

OCTOBER: WORLD POLIO DAY IS OCT. 24...

...and Rotarians have promised to eradicate polio from the planet.

Covid has reminded us how quickly a virus can spread. If we stop our work now, polio could spread just as quickly and be back in our backyards. Let's rededicate ourselves to polio eradication in October, and culminate this effort with RI President Holger Knaack live from Germany during the Nov. 1 virtual luncheon.

State of the City Update

AURORA STATE OF THE CITY EVENT POSTPONED TO

May 2021, exact date TBD

As you are aware, given the widespread health concerns and related governmental mandates of the past several months, the Rotary Club of Aurora Executive Board determined that the best course of action was to postpone the State of the City event until fall. As the situation with COVID continues to be fluid and regularly changing, the Board has decided that the most responsible action at this time is to postpone until 2021, with the tentative plan to implement in May, per usual.

The intention is for the 2021 State of the City event to be exactly the same in-person networking experience as traditionally planned. We will share information as appropriate with all interested parties, (attendees, participants, and sponsors) while working to plan this special, annual event. Separate communication will be sent to sponsors.

Thank you so very much for your continued support!

Please feel free to contact Patti Bateman, event chair, with any additional questions you may have at this time: pbateman_1@comcast.net
