2024 marked our 33rd Annual ShrimpFest and Bingo Fundraiser. This was a full-club participating event from gathering donations of Bingo prizes, silent auction items, corporate sponsorships, cooking of the shrimp, organizing desserts to set-up and clean-up. A special THANK YOU to the Shawnee Mission Northwest Interact Club for helping throughout the evening.

Welcome to the website for Rotary Club of Lenexa, but more importantly, welcome to the world of Rotary where your ideas, enthusiasm and energy are welcome!
Rotary International is a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change-across the globe, in our communities and in ourselves. Rotary Club of Lenexa is one of over 46,000 clubs globally who promote peace; fight disease; provide clean water, sanitation and hygiene; save mothers and children; support education; grow local economies; and protect the environment.
During the 2022-2023 Rotary year, our international theme is: Imagine. Rotary International President Jennifer Jones wants us to Imagine the possibilities in the change that Rotarians can make to transform the world! Collectively, when unleashed, the power of Rotary is potentially awesome!
I have built many lasting friendships from my connection to Rotary, and should you choose to join our club, I know that you will too. I’ve also found that the opportunity to work shoulder-to-shoulder and learn from some of the top leaders in our community is an amazing professional opportunity. When you are surrounded by great leaders, you learn how to become a better leader!
So…. I hope you will Imagine what it would be like if you were a Rotarian! Imagine the impact of your ideas when acted upon by a collective body that dreams about, then takes action stirring positive change in our world. Imagine the possibilities!
We are hopeful that you will consider joining Rotary Club of Lenexa to help make a difference in our community. We will warmly welcome your new ideas, your energy and your enthusiasm! And your Imagination too! Our club meets every Friday for lunch at the Blue Moose Grill at noon, and always features an interesting guest speaker. If you are interested in joining our club, please contact our Membership Chair, River Meisinger at river.meisinger@besmith.com and we will provide you more information and answer any questions you might have about the Rotary experience.
Thank you once again for your interest in the Rotary Club of Lenexa. Come Imagine with us!
Sincerely
Erik Troy

Moe Cougher with Lenexa Rotary and Olathe Noon Rotary set up another great packaging event with Heart to Heart International. Our District 5710 and Clubs already donated over $38,000.
