The members of the Manitou Springs High School Key Club, an offshoot of the Manitou Kiwanis Club, decided to honor longtime Key Club adviser and Kiwanis member Joel Grotzinger, who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
As club President Sierra Dunlap explained, the club raised funds through its Mother’s Day flower sale to pay for a bicycle rack installed near the historic engine at the corner of Manitou Avenue and El Paso Boulevard.
“We wanted to do something to kind of pay forward what he’s done for us,” Dunlap said on Tuesday, May 30, as the rack was dedicated.
Steve Wood of Concrete Couch fabricated the rack, which includes a plaque mentioning Grotzinger.
