Last week the bowling teams met up, and in honor of Polio month, we had a fundraiser! We even had some non-bowling Rotarians drop by. That you to Tom Woolwine and David McCaughey for dropping by!
Help maintain a very popular tradition at the Salvation Army ARC, and shown these residents that someone cares! Big thank you to Meshuggah Bagels on 13th in Downtown KC for donating bagels for this cause!
We will be meeting at 5:30pm at the Rock Island Bridge:
1799 American Royal Drive
Kansas City, MO 64108
Michael Zeller, the Founder and CEO will visit with us about the journey to convert the bridge into the America’s first entertainment district built on a bridge over a river.
We will provide a Charcuterie platter with meat, cheese, fruits, veggies and nuts.
A cash bar is available.
No reservation is necessary, bring family and friends.
We plan to meet at 5:30 and Michael will speak at 6 pm.
After the conclusion of the program, plan to stick around for dinner and a beautiful sunset.
The weather forecast is perfect for a late fall event.
There is parking along the American Royal Drive. A short walk away is also the West Bottoms Garage.
We are beginning to prepare this year's Club 13 directory! Please take a moment to update your profile in ClubRunner or contact Kandi Kos at kandi.kos@rotary13.org for assistance!
The Rotary Youth Camp has existed for over 100 years and through that time, tens of thousands of children with handicaps and disadvantaged youth have experienced fresh air, playing outdoors and experiencing nature at our beautiful Camp. The Camp staff does a terrific job in managing costs but meeting the yearly budget is a concern. The Kansas City Rotary Club Foundation covers shortfalls in the budget and assures the future of the Camp for the children in our community.
It takes a $1,000 contribution to become a Fellow of the Foundation or you may become a Fellow by first being a Sustaining Member with a series of smaller contributions. Through October, there is a special discount for new contributors. Contribute $800 and you’ll be a Fellow! If you prefer to be a Sustaining Member, you can make a series of smaller contributions with a minimum of $25 over a period of time until reaching the $1,000 Fellow level. Through October, all new Sustaining Members contributions will be matched $1 for $1 - up to $200.
Twelve Club 13 Rotarians and guests volunteered at Project CURE for an engaging, hands-on experience. The group sorted medical supplies that will be shipped to hospitals and clinics in resource limited countries. Thank you to Rotarian Francis Karanu who organizes this annual event.
Have you seen the Golden Ticket Raffles for this year's Foundation Dinner? Need not be present (or be a Rotarian) to win, but both of these packages are pretty sweet and all proceeds go in purchaser's name to the Rotary Foundation's Annual Fund!
