7-7: Morgan Chilson and Sherman Smith - Meet in Bradbury Thompson

Morgan Chilson and Sherman Smith from The Topeka Capital-Journal will plan to talk about challenges they face as journalists, their responsibility to gather and report news, the impact of social media, and what they plan to do about "fake news."

The presentation will be kept brief to allow for more questions and interaction.
 

Board Happenings
To our 2016-17 Topeka South Rotary outgoing board we say job well done!
District 5710 Governor, Chris Ford, was so impressed with the work of our 2016-17 board this past year that he presented our chapter with the official "District Governor's Bell" to use during the 2017-18 board year.
Jared made sure the year of President Paul will always be remembered as he presented Past-President Paul with an inscribed "The Year of the Paul," commemorative clock.
To close out the board transition meeting our new President Jared introduced your 2017-18 Topeka South Rotary board. Let's wish them all well in their new roles!

Wish list for Guatemala
It's time to organize for Guatemala. Jorge says, "for sure we will appreciate any support in regards medicine, multi-vitamins, shoes, water filters (to replace the ceramic filter) cook stoves, beds and baby clothes." You can download the wish list here. Financial contributions are also welcome.
 
This photo is from last year's trip. See all those smiling faces! "Service above self" in action.

Benjy Zhang Presents Fourth Check for Sole Mates
Benjy (son of TSR member Baili Zhang) presented the fourth check to TSR Sole Mates at last Friday's club meeting, bringing the total amount he has donated in the past four years to $2,454. He also bid farewell to TSR before heading east to attend the University of Pennsylvania this fall.
 
He plans to continue to raise funds for Sole Mates through the sales of his professionally recorded CD, “Music for the Sole," which will be completed in late August. He suggests a donation of $10 per copy, and all proceeds will go to Sole Mates.
 
Many thanks to Benjy for sharing his immense talents in selfless service.
