2016 Holiday Party
The annual holiday party was a smashing success! Many thanks to the committee who worked so hard to create a very special celebration: Erika Skinner, Anne Wardner, Penny Morgan, Terry Beeman, Brenda Dietrich and Mike Land.
 
Our photographer captured over 1,000 formal and action photos from the evening. Above is a sneak peek of the serious entertainment caught on film.

2017 Golf Tourney: Beneficiary App and Info

It's already time to start thinking about beneficiaries of our 2017 Golf Tournament.
 
This year has a slightly revised application with guidelines and process information. This includes a more finite number of volunteers requested from the organization that receives the funds and specifies more clearly the deadline to turn in the application. Please share as appropriate. Application deadline is December 31, 2016.
 
Download the application here.

IF WE DON'T ASK, THEY WON'T JOIN!

There were five guests at last week's meeting. Let's keep that up! This week's presenter sounds very interesting—a great opportunity to pick a name from your list and invite the individual to the meeting. Remember, breakfast for all potential members is on the club!
 
Membership committee members are ready to assist you.

Education Promotes Peace & Justice
Last week's Rotary Peace & Justice presentation by Imam Omar Hazim stressed the importance of education to create peace and understanding. This was the second in a series of events by the multi-club effort toward peace.
The event had excellent media coverage. Read the article in The Topeka Capital-Journal here.
 
Thanks to Patti Mellard, Peace and Justice Committee Chair, for an excellent program.
