Carbondale Rotary Club brought a great event to the community

Last weekend, Nov. 20, 21 and 22, the Carbondale Rotary Club brought a great event to the Valley, the production of “Tuesdays with Morrie”, directed by Wendy Moore and starring Bob Moore and Jon Whitfield. Both the production and the venue, Church at Carbondale and its Gathering Center received rave reviews from all who attended. All the proceeds of the event will go back into the community through the club's Special Community Service Activities.

Special thanks go out to all who contributed to its success, Alpine Bank for helping to sell tickets, KDNK, Post Independent, Aspen Times and the Sopris Sun for great publicity, Church at Carbondale and its staff for being a most generous host, CMC Spring Valley New Space Theater, RFTA, Mandy Moore, Aspen Stage, Sopris Liquor and Wine and City Market for beverages and the caterers who contributed to the Friday pre-party event, European Catering, Upper Crust, Smoke, Big Mama's Catering, Avalanche Cheese Company, The Pour House, Desert Sky Creative Catering and PJ's Backdoor Catering.

Once again, the Carbondale Rotary Club brought a great event to the community while continuing to raise funds for individuals and non-profits throughout the Valley, fulfilling its mission of “SERVICE ABOVE SELF”. Thank you to all the Carbondale Rotarians who worked so hard and to all the attendees throughout the community who made this a great and successful three day event.
