For the first time ever we’re holding a monthly member recruitment challenge during the month of March.
 
Here’s where the MADNESS comes into play…for any current TSR member who brings a guest to a social, a Friday meeting or a service project during the month of March, their name will be added to a pool to receive free dues for a year!

Super Pools Support the Rotary Foundation
Now that the Chiefs are out of the playoffs it is time to keep your interest in the Super Bowl going strong. This year, we are going to have 2 pools available to TSR members and Rotary Foundation will benefit!
 
The first pool is just like last year. 100 squares available for $5 each, pick as many as you can afford. Each quarter we will look at the score and the player whose name is on the square with the corresponding numbers will win that quarter. Winners will get a $50 gift card to a local restaurant and $75 will be donated to Rotary Foundation in their name!

2017 Fireside Chats Kindle New Ideas
It’s time to start planning our 2017 Fireside Chats, another Topeka South Rotary favorite tradition.
 
Fireside Chats are meetings, hosted by Club members, that give everyone an opportunity to voice their opinions on Club activities, traditions, and service projects. These meeting sessions also provide a great atmosphere to get to know some of your fellow Rotarians a little bit better, as well as a chance to learn more about the Club if you’re a newer member.
 
We want to hear from you, whether you’re a new or long-time member!
