Chief Joseph and John Kilyeni were speakers at the District Conference in 2013 in Vail. Castle Rock High Noon Club has worked on several projects with them in the past including using funds from the Castle Rock Ducky Derby to build a school in their village. That school, in a little village in Kenya, is called “Castle Rock Daycare and Preschool.”Chief Joseph has been extremely busy during his visit. The Chief, his wife Cicilia and John Kilyeni visited elementary and high schools, they met with the Castle Rock High Noon Club, presented to a Graduate group at Colorado State University and participated in a Summit of Colorado based non-profits that have projects in Africa.
The Chief and John wanted to extend their greetings to our District and again thank you all for your warm greetings at the Conference last year.
