Boulder Rotary raises thousands for Special Transit

The Boulder Rotary Club raised more than $26,000 at its annual Oktoberfest Event last month to benefit the building fund for a new Special Transit facility.

The Atrium at the new facility will be named for the late Bill Fischer, a Rotarian and former Special Transit board member. Bill’s wife, Betty Fischer, and Lenna Kottke, Special Transit's executive director, both Rotarians, spoke about Bill’s devotion to Special Transit and about Special Transit's activities and importance.

The Rotary Club is also the title sponsor of Friday’s [Nov. 13] sold-out concert in Boulder featuring Young@Heart, a rock group from Northampton, Mass., whose performers range in age from 73 to 89. Some have prior professional or amateur theater or music experience, but others never stepped onto a stage before turning 80. The original group was formed in 1982. A 2006 documentary film, Young@Heart, shows the group in action.
