This Friday's meeting will be Kara Armstrong, the Program Director with Arts Education with Johnson County Community College Midwest Trust Center. In January of 2021, the JCCC Carlson Center for Performing Arts was renamed to the Midwest Trust Center.
The Midwest Trust Center provides arts education, school and family events, community engagement, professional development and Arts Education Artists-in-Residence.
As you know, our club has adopted the stretch of greenway between Lackman and Pflumm along 83rd Street. Thanks to the volunteers who helped out this past Saturday morning (17 April) for the Mill Creek Streamway Cleanup project - Becca Coleman, Moe Cougher, Mike Dix, Tedd Maxfield, Steve Nettles, Ron Tennison, Pat Thomas, Erik Troy, Wayne Zetzman. The group spent about an hour and had an enjoyable time working together. A special thanks to Erik Troy for organizing this project.
Thanks so much for having us today. Heath and I enjoyed meeting all of you, even if it was in a virtual world. It was fun. I hope the club members enjoyed the presentation and found the information useful. In fact, we hope to join you again in person next time. I wanted to get you the email I promised you. If any members have any unanswered questions just let me know.
We are still new to this format and I want to make sure it was valuable information for your club members. Since this is new to us we would love any feedback that you all have. If you could send this survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CSPANpresentation1020) around to everyone who attended today, that would be appreciated.
Finally, As a small token of our appreciation, we’d like to send you and your members a FREE copy of our awarding-winning book, The Senate: An Enduring Foundation of Democracy. This visually rich book showcases the architectural details and 200-year evolution of the Senate’s ornate hallways, private work spaces and historic meeting rooms. There’s no strings attached – this isn’t spam – we don’t sell your information. It’s just our way of saying THANKS for your support!
If you’re interested, please share this email with your club members and complete the online form found here: C-SPAN Senate Book – Quantities are limited so hurry!
Stay well and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions. As a Rotarian myself thanks so much for what you do for Lenexa, Kansas!
RYLA will happen this summer over the course of three different weeks. Two camps will be day camps where parents (or students) will need to drive to and from daily. One camp will be virtual.
Both day camps can accept 30 students and will cost $250 while the virtual camp can accept 36 students and will cost $50.
The deadlines for the camps all vary due to the dates of the camps. That's why there are three different applications!
There will be three camp options. Deadline is two weeks prior to the date of each camp:
May 31 deadline for 6/21-6/25-face to face, day camp Lawrence, KS
June 7 deadline for 6/28-7/2-VIRTUAL camp
June 16 deadline for 7/12-7/16-face to face, day camp, Overland Park, KS (KU Edwards campus)
If you have any students who are good candidates, please contact Lenexa Rotarian Sarah Donohoe
Please visit the RYLA page of the website for applications and brochure!
We are collect egg cartons to be given to a local food pantry. They only need the 12 egg cartons, not 18.
If you have some to donate, please contact Steve Nettles. You can drop them off at his house or you can drop them of at Rimann Liquors at 87th & Lackman.
On Friday March 19th the RI Board of Directors met and voted to continue the postponement of all Youth Exchange activities until June of 2022. This will make the second year in a row that the Covid Pandemic has put a halt to all inbound and outbound activities. Unfortunately many of our students will be ineligible to participate the next year due to age restrictions. The youth exchange program will begin interviewing this December for the potential of a program in the fall of 2022. We will keep our fingers crossed that the pandemic will be under control by then.
To date, we know the majority of Clubs in District 5710 have indicated they will work to meet their goal of $50 per member: As a Bonus, District 5710 has committed $4,000 to help fund this effort.
Rotary is working with the County to develop a permanent signage/recognition element for the Tree Grove to memorialize this Rotary gift to the people of Johnson county - hopefully listing the participating clubs.
The current February membership count of the Johnson County Clubs is 587 Rotarians. At $50 per member, the District could easily reach a total of $29,350. There will be a prize for the club with the most significant percentage over their goal. The Lenexa Rotary Foundation has pledged $1000 but is requesting a $50 donations from all members. All contributions from club members are voluntary. It is our hope that we will reach the $50 goal.
