Community Organizations

The Left Hand Grange is the oldest active Grange in Colorado. Its goal is community service. Typical fundraisers include book and plant sales, memberships, hall rental, and donations. In 2009, the hall underwent substantial renovation to solve drainage problems and foundation decay. The renovation included rebuilding exterior walls and modernization of the interior spaces. The lower floor is now fully handicap accessible. The renovation was strongly supported by the entire Niwot community and donations to the Left Hand Grange.

Community and business leaders in Niwot consider the Grange a great community asset.

The Rotary Club of Niwot subscribes to and follows the main tenets of Rotary International. As a small club currently operating under provisional status and with guidance from Rotary Clubs in Boulder and Longmont and RI District 5450, we are developing our focus of service. It starts with the Avenues of Service espoused by Rotary International and tempered by size and a realistic assessment of our abilities to commit to and perform service. For a small cub, we have really done a lot already. Those achievements can be seen on our Service Projects page.

The 4 areas of service are:

1. Club Service (club administrative positions and roles),
2. Community Service (community projects focused on Niwot and the adjacent surrounds)
3. Vocational/Educational Service (local schools, education, and leadership training)
4. International Service (supporting an array of Rotary and cooperative projects to improve health, water, safety and living standards in underdeveloped areas)
