WHAT'S NEW WITH LUNCH BUNCH

Posted by Doug Barrington

Here's what's new with Lunch Bunch - first, a super big, special thank you to Dr. Mike Morrison for arranging a new home for our Lunch Bunch, after the closing of Avondale West Elementary. Mike found a great new school, Stout Elementary, who is excited to have us!

Here are the details for Lunch Bunch:

All dates will be Thursdays and our first scheduled date is September 7th. We have all volunteer slots filled already (thank you)!
Stout Elementary is our new school located at 2303 SW College Avenue
Only 10 kids each month this school year from grades 1 thru 5
Start time 11:45 am - End time 12:15 pm
Doug will still buy the world's best Glory Days Pizza ($3 donation per Rotarian to cover the cost is appreciated)

Looking forward to our first Lunch Bunch!

5TH ANNUAL PUMPKIN RUN
GET READY, GET SET, LETS GO!

The 5^th Annual Topeka South Rotary Pumpkin Run is approaching and we're excited to announce we have several businesses already committed to underwriting and two sponsors as well. If you would like to be a sponsor please contact Faron Barr. If you would like to participate by running, walking or strolling, you can register here or fill out one of our brochures here and turn it in to Faron or Austin.

NOW THAT'S A BIG CHECK

What a wonderful honor it was to have Easterseals Capper Foundation CEO & President, Jim Leiker, present at our weekly meeting to receive that BIG check. Easterseals Capper Foundation is one of two recipients of the 2017 TSR Golf Tournament fundraising event proceeds.

MORE TSR ROTARIANS EARN BLUE BADGES

As you can see President Jared is very excited to present more blue badges - congratulations to Janet Burns and Jennifer Owen!

NEW WAY TO PARTICIPATE IN RLI - LEARN MORE

Posted by Chuck Udell, District 5710 Trainer

There is a NEW way for Rotarians to participate in the Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI)!

The first and third sessions of RLI will be conducted as we have in the past – on Saturdays at Community America Ballpark in Kansas City, KS (Home of the T-Bones!) – thanks to our District Governor Adam Ehlert for hosting us.

Here is what is NEW - the second session will be held ONLINE in two 2-hour week night evenings. You will be able to participate in this session from the comfort of your home or wherever in the world you are.

RLI is open to any Rotarian who is interested in learning more about our amazing organization. Besides networking and exchanging ideas with other Rotarians, attending will enhance your knowledge of all facets of Rotary and how it works.
