After Hours

Join us for our upcoming After Hours to socialize and connect with fellow members. Whether you're a regular attendee or haven’t been able to join us lately, this is a great opportunity to share your ideas for service projects through open dialogue and catch up with the club’s activities. The agenda begins at 5:30 and is very brief.

Meetings are the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month at a rotating location. This week's meeting is at Classic Bean in Fairlawn Plaza.

Holiday Party Fun

This past Saturday (12/7) we held our annual Holiday Party. A festive time was had by all. Attendees were dressed to the nines, especially the Bib Boys. We wined and dined, danced and played a rousing game of heads or tails...which brought in over $1,600 to give to Topeka High's Project 107 and FSGC Santa's Little Helpers Holiday Adoption. The evening also saw 4 members awarded with Paul Harris Fellows.

Christmas Bureau Adoption

Topeka South Rotary adopted 15 families this year through the United Way of Kaw Valley Christmas Bureau. On Tuesday, December 11th members of TSR met at Wal-Mart to tackle the wish lists of the adoptees and then headed over to United Way to wrap the gifts. As of 12/11 there are still 198 households hoping to be adopted. If you would like to help adopt a family or two please click here. The adoption portal closes this Friday 12/13.

Your Attendance Matters!

Posted

on Dec 17, 2014

Missed a meeting? Do a makeup! As a participatory organization, Rotary highly values regular attendance at the weekly club meetings. In fact, attending the meetings is one of the basic obligations that a member accepts upon joining Rotary.

If you must occasionally miss a weekly meeting, however, you can easily do a “makeup” if you:

Complete a 30-minute online session at Rotary eClub One watching videos or reading articles on everything from personal growth and community service to international literacy projects.
Participate in a TSR service project, such as serving a meal at Let’s Help or helping a child choose new sneakers at a Sole Mates event.
Attend a regular meeting of another Rotary club, a District Conference, or other approved District or RI meeting.

Please do your part to keep our attendance numbers up – and help our club stay strong and active!

For questions about membership, contact Jeff Sorensen. To report a meeting makeup, contact Club Secretary Angela Dailey.
