INVOCATION LEADERS NEEDED
Several members from our club have asked that the invocation come back as part of our weekly meeting, and we appreciate those of you who have stepped up to lead those invocations. However, in order to keep them, we must have many more members willing to lead it each week. Please consider adding this to what you already do for Rotary, and contact Jeff Hiestand, Sergeant at Arms, to get into the rotation.
 
We are looking for individuals who can do it once, or even those that might be willing to adopt a whole month. 
 
TSR STARTS BOOK CLUB, OCT. 1
The ladies of Topeka South Rotary are invited to join a casual book club where we can discuss books and enjoy each other's company. If you are looking to get to know other women in the club and build friendships, this is the place for you! We plan to meet every 6 weeks on Monday evening at 7:00 p.m. rotating at members' homes or other public locations. Our first three books will be City of Thieves by David Benioff, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman, and Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng. Once we establish a routine, every member will be able to select a book for the club to read!
 
The first selection is "City of Thieves" by David Benioff. We will discuss the book on October 1st at 7:00 p.m. at the home of Alicia VanWalleghem. Please RSVP to Adrienne Olejnik by text or email at 785-640-8787 or adrienneolejnik@gmail.com.
