OFF SITE MEETING - We will tour the centerpiece of downtown Topeka, the Kansas State Capitol, with Topeka South Rotary on Friday! Friends and family members are encouraged to be part of this guided tour of the impressive structure. Please note: We will meet in the Visitors Center dining room, 9-N, ground floor, for announcements and continental breakfast. The capitol doors open at 7:30 a.m. so arriving early to the meeting is not possible. Announcements will begin at 7:45 a.m. with tours at 8:00 a.m.
Detailed instructions to the dining room: Visitors Center, 9-N, Ground floor - when you arrive at the visitors center proceed straight ahead through the large limestone arches into the area where you see the construction photos. The dining area is to the left through the three stone arches just off the main hall. Click here for a map.
The Topeka South Rotary membership drive is over the end of March. We ask that you bring your guest(s) that is interested in membership for three occasions – at least one of those need to be a regular meeting.
Some special incentives include:
For guests that have visited Topeka South Rotary three times, and make application during February or March, their $90 initiation fee will be waived! Click here for membership application.
For Topeka South Rotarians bringing guests, your name will be put into a drawing for each guest you bring during February or March. The winner of the drawing will receive free membership for one year!
Keep checking out this e-bulletin and listen for announcements at meetings for continuing details.

RYLA 2018 is a five-day camp for incoming high school sophomores, juniors and seniors interested in developing leadership potential. The students will learn from business and community leaders about strengthening their leadership skills and abilities, promoting ethical behavior, and facilitating personal growth and self-awareness. There are several past participants of this program that stated their experience was life-changing and made them more aware of their capabilities. It is common to see a student become emotional when talking about their experience with RYLA. For many students, this is their first exposure to Rotary and what we, as Rotarians, can accomplish. The projects and exercises in this five-day camp are designed to get the students to think differently about certain situations and develop their own solutions with fellow students they may have not met before attending the camp. Many students worldwide, who have attended RYLA, have continued on to become members of an Interact, Rotaract, and eventually a Rotary club.
