This Week's Meeting
March 7, 2024
 
This Week's Speaker is Joe Reardon, President/CEO, Greater KC Chamber. His topic is: "A Look Ahead for K.C."
As President/CEO of the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce I represent over 2,200 member businesses throughout the Kansas City region. I work to ensure that Kansas City is a great place to grow a business and that our quality of life is world class.

I am passionate about the Kansas City Region and believe that great collaboration between business leaders, government and nonprofits will continue to propel Kansas City forward as an innovative and progressive place to do business and live.

As a two term mayor of Kansas City, Kansas, I worked on forming public/private partnerships that enhanced the quality of life for our citizens while creating new job opportunities. I take that experience and apply it to the role that Chamber can play in enhancing the entire region.

Shoes for Orphan Souls

“It’s that time of the year again! District 6040 will partner with District 6080 and Buckner International to improve the lives of underprivileged children worldwide, in the USA, and in our home communities. A new pair of shoes protects a child's health, supports the opportunity to improve their education, and provides hope.

The Kansas City Club 13 International Committee will end it’s 23rd year of the Shoes for Orphan Souls Campaign in April to get ready for the Shoes Caravan on the weekend of April 19-21, 2024. Our district efforts will culminate alongside the efforts across the state of Missouri at a Joint District Conference at the Margaritaville Resort at the Lake of the Ozarks! District 6060 has already begun a “Let’s Bury Larry (in shoes)” campaign. The shoe goal this year is to collect 50,000 pairs of shoes across the state of Missouri this year

We were thrilled with our first and second annual pickleball tournament last year, but we still need support to past lasts year's 1,009 shoes & 516 pairs of socks. We need your help to support this shoe drive so we can reach Linn Mill's last record shoe and sock counts. Tiny Shoes will be on lunch tables for our Rotary lunch on March 7th so remember you cash!
