Installation Dinner/Picnic - Sat. June 17 (dinner about 6:15pm)
We have reserved the Lions Shelter at Sar Ko Par Park.Plan to arrive about 5:30pm, barbecue dinner will be served around 6:15pm. From Terry: "This shelter is the nicest one at the park with the big stone wall on the east side of the lake and right next to the playground and toilets. I would like to encourage kids and grandkids to come as well and make it more of a family thing. Did I mention kids would be free? As long as there isn’t any severe weather that afternoon/evening all should have a good time."

March 4, 2017, marked the 28th annual Lenexa Rotary ShrimpFest & Bingo. Read on for more details and fun pictures!
We have been receiving lots of feedback, including some who've said this was the best ShrimpFest ever! Overall attendance was down, meaning we were a full house but not squeezed in like sardines, and this contributed to an enjoyable experience. A huge thanks to Pat Thomas and the shrimp cooking team, as well as ALL the volunteers who helped make this event a success!
