Rotarian: Eric Swanson
GUESTS
Ray Kelsin was a guest again. Bruce Florquist introduced his guest Kelly Arnold, Interim Town Manager. We were also pleased to have Susan Van Deren as a guest and potential new member. Sherry Frank of ReMax Realty was also a guest and potential new member.
PROGRAM
Eric Swanson took the opportunity to do his "classification talk" and tell us a little about himself, and then, he did a Power Point Presentation about the Great Western Industrial Park.
Eric had been a member of a Rotary Club in Miami Fla. some years ago. He said it was a small "Roll up your sleeves" club, and when he visited our club about a year ago, he felt we were the same type of club and wished to join here. Eric has a degree in business with emphasis on economics and finance from the University of Illinois-Urbana. After college, he worked for an elevator/escalator company in Florida and then moved to North Carolina.
Several years ago he moved to the Denver area (he actually lives near Evergreen). His emphasis here was to buy contaminated properties, clean them up and resell or redevelop them. He said his work for Broe has focused on real estate, transportation, and energy. He has been married to his wife Sheila for 28 years and has two teen-aged daughters.
Eric's work for Broe in this area has focused on the Great Western Industrial Park which is now going through annexation on the industrial side. In addition to the real estate, Broe owns 18 short-line railroads around the country as well as a large transportation hub in Churchill, Manitoba (think polar bears). They categorize themselves as an investment company.

CLUB TRAVELLERS
Ron Clark visited Florida. Dorothy Simmons is in Mexico. Ardin Wright is either in or on his way to Antarctica. I made it as far south as Northglenn this week.
REMEMBER
Daylight Savings Time starts March 11. I think that is so you will have more time to shovel snow when you get home from work.
