Denver WASH Symposium - October 19th
The Rotary D5450 Denver WASH Symposium will be held on October 19, from 8 AM until 2:15 PM (down in Denver, and on Zoom). 
 
If you've not had the chance to attend one of these WAter, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Symposiums, you should consider it. They are VERY informative well beyond the world of WASH.
 
This year’s symposium promises to be quite inspirational, with William Kamkwamba, a Malawian inventor, engineer and author. He gained renown in his country in 2001 when he built a wind turbine to power a water pump in his village from bicycle parts. Since this invention as a young boy, he obtained a scholarship and graduated from Dartmouth College in 2014. He co-authored his memoir with Bryan Mealer, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind and in 2019 this was adapted into a film.
 
BTW, the location itself is an amazing facility to visit! CSU Spur, Hydro Building, 4777 National Western Dr., Denver, CO 80216
 
Early-Bird Registration is until Oct 1!
