The 2023 annual Omelet Fest was a great success for the Santa Fe Rotary Trail team! During the October event, Rotarians gather in support of the local community and fire up their portable ovens at the Mahaffie Stagecoach and Stop Farm. The afternoon prior to the event, the team gathers to prep the event space and food in anticipation of the morning’s festivities. Here, greetings are shared as the team cracks eggs, chops veggies, and enjoys one another’s company while doing good for the community and beyond. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming involved in Rotary, please be sure to check out our website and learn more about joining a local group and get involved in supporting your local community. If you are in the Olathe or surrounding area nearby, be sure to reach out to one of our group leaders (listed on the website) for more information on joining our team. We are looking forward to another great Omelet Fest event next year!

Whenever there is a fifth Thursday in a month, our club meets for a social.
In September, we met at the Ensor Museum for a potluck and a tour of the museum.
It was an enjoyable and informative evening.
