This weekend, Rotary club members in Longmont and Boulder will roll up their sleeves and give back to their communities through service projects.

These projects are just a few of the ones being done around the world for the Rotary Epic Day of Service. Celebrated annually, the event invites both Rotarians and non-Rotarians to join service projects on the same day. This year’s Epic Day of Service is expected to see 75,000 Rotarians help out with global projects, according to the event website.

On Saturday, volunteers from Longmont Twin Peaks Rotary, Longmont Rotary and Boulder Rotary will all participate in the Epic Day of Service through projects in Boulder County.

Twin Peaks Rotary volunteers will spend the day picking up trash at Dickens Farm Nature Area, which the club has chosen as an Epic Day of Service site before.

Previous service days at the Longmont park have included roughly a dozen volunteers, said Twin Peaks Rotary service chair Laurell Richey.

“We chose this project in part because it’s something we can do with family, all ages, friends,” Richey said. “It’s just a way, with low commitment, that people in the community can get involved.”

Twin Peaks Rotary is a regular steward of Dickens Farm Nature Area through the city’s Adopt-A-Park program. While the club has monthly cleanup events at the park, the Epic Day of Service tends to bring a greater number of volunteers out to the space along the St. Vrain Creek.

“We’re doing it out of the goodness of our heart and love for our community,” said Twin Peaks Rotary president Cole Pokard. “We want to volunteer. We want to participate in the community.”

Longmont Rotary is giving back to Boulder nonprofit Growing Gardens for this year’s Epic Day of Service. Growing Gardens operates farms and community gardens throughout Boulder County.

On Saturday, the Rotary club will send 20 volunteers to mulch and weed the Longmont Growing Gardens farm on Lashley Street. The farm donates its produce to local partners and offers nutrition education to nearby residents.

Longmont Rotary co-president Andrew Lee said the Growing Gardens team is “very enthusiastic” about the club supporting the nonprofit with the service project.

“This is why we joined Rotary,” Lee said of volunteering. “There’s a lot of lunches, and a lot of speeches, and a lot of programs. But at the end of the day, this is why we’re here.”

Boulder Rotary volunteers will travel into the mountains for a day of service at YMCA Camp Tumbleson Lake near Ward. The camp opens for day and overnight youth programs on June 8.

Boulder Rotary has around 90 volunteers signed up for Saturday. Volunteers will help get the camp ready for kids by painting, clearing brush, moving gravel and doing trail maintenance.

“It’s a great project for us,” said Boulder Rotary member Jen Spettel. “We have a lot of Boulder Rotary club members who are board members or volunteers for the Y, and then vice versa with YMCA employees who are members of the Boulder Rotary club.”

Spettel said Boulder Rotary is excited to see so many volunteers lend their time to the camp this weekend.

“The power of this one day is pretty impressive,” Spettel said.
