Thank you to Michelle Kipp of Roggen Telephone and Broadband for the following information about the upcoming Gunga Galunga Big Hitter Scramble Golf Tournament on Saturday, June 21st at Quail Dunes Golf Course in Fort Morgan. This is a fundraising event presented by the Rural Community Life Improvement Foundation in partnership with a myriad of sponsors and supporters. According to Michelle, “the Rural Community Life Improvement Foundation (RCLIF) is currently building a 7,500 sq. ft. facility to serve the residents of Roggen. This space will be an affordable venue for meetings, learning, and growth, supporting local 4-H, FFA, school events, church groups, agricultural extension programs, and various non-profit organizations. It’s designed to honor our rural heritage while fostering new opportunities for community connection, service, and celebrations. Importantly, the facility will also serve as a shelter or resource hub during times of crisis, representing hope, resilience, and unity for our community.
To help fund the completion of this vital building, RCLIF holds annual golf and bowling tournaments, as well as a Palm Sunday pancake breakfast. We also welcome donations at any time. While we are actively pursuing grants, we are also seeking a grant writer to assist with these applications.
Our need for this facility arose after our original meeting space, a grange hall on leased property, became unavailable when the landowner chose not to renew the lease. Although our area no longer has a grange organization, the need for a central place for local meetings and events remains crucial.” Additional information about the event can be found under the events tab on the Chamber website at http://www.southeastweldchamber.org/events.
