This club reminds me of a little boy from South Africa who was born with AIDS.  Ngosi Johnson became a spokesperson at an early age and died of his illness in 2001 at age 12.  Ngosi said "Do all you can with what you have, in the time you have, in the place you are".

Castle Rock High Noon Rotary does just that.
