Longmont Colorado is located on the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains at the north end of Boulder County. From the beginning farming mostly fueled much of the town’s economic engine and gave the town its identity. Today high tech companies, biotech and white collar offices are the largest employers in a town and state that have grown significantly in the past few decades.
The State of Colorado is known primarily for its mountains. The vast majority of high peaks in the continental U. S. are located in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. The baseball team’s primary color is purple which came from the song’s (America the Beautiful) line about “purple mountain majesties.” And one of Colorado’s highest mountains, Long’s Peak, is a prominent feature of the view from Longmont to the west.
Rotary came to Longmont not long after it’s beginnings in Chicago. And one club was operative from the early years. Twenty-five years ago Rotary expanded in Longmont and Twin Peaks Rotary was founded. It is named after the two peaks rising up just west of town, standing next to each other like twins, Longs Peak and Meeker. Both were named after early explorers and residents in the state. And the spirit of Longmont is embodied in the pioneering spirit of early settlers who took risks and worked hard to establish lives in this arid region. Today Longmont is thriving and the spirit of Rotary embodies the spirit of the city.
Each Rotary club forms its own identity based largely on the demographics and unique personalities of the members. From the beginning Twin Peaks Rotary was made up of unique and fun-loving members whose community service came with a healthy dose of humor and light heartedness. And the spirit of Twin Peaks Rotary continues today with members who care about each other just as they express their concern for others in the world with their Rotary activities. Our club not only boasts lively and interesting people, but also acclaimed food at lunch from Food Stuffs and unparalleled programs to entertain and inform members. This year’s Rotary theme is “Building Communities; Bridging Continents.” And in every way our club seeks to implement this theme.
Twin Peaks Rotary meets every Thursday at noon at First Evangelical Lutheran Church, at 3rd and Terry in the heart of Longmont. Everyone is welcome to come and see our enthusiasm.
