Great Cuisine and Culinary Pathway (OFF-SITE)
 
Join us Friday to hear from Gary Livingston of Great Cuisine and Culinary Pathway!
 
"Legacy" is the name of their pathway and was founded in the spring of 2021 by their students.  It is truly a student driven pathway that focuses on good food, good times, and good experiences for both student and customer.  The Pathway has partnered with several different organizations throughout the area that they have successfully given service to.  They greatly support our efforts financially and are a great partner to help them gain the real world experiences their students need in the comfort of their own building.  As part of “Legacy”, students will earn certifications in nationally recognized programs in food safety, culinary certifications, OSHA training, and many more designed to give students a great start to a possible career or further study post-high school. 
 
This meeting will be in person at Kanza Cafe: 2701 SW E Circle Dr, Topeka, KS 66606. Click here for directions using Google Maps. 
 
Announcements will begin promptly at 7:45 am, with breakfast and coffee being served at 7:30 am!
 
Friendly reminder: We are tracking attendance at our meetings again, so please be sure to check yourself in when you arrive. Also, the badge box has been revised, so please give yourself enough time to find your badge in its new location!
 
 
Nancy Perry Day of Caring

 

Volunteers Needed:  We have the opportunity to be a part of the Nancy Perry Day of Caring on Friday 9-23-22. Over 600 volunteers will be giving their time and talent to numerous non-profits throughout our City on this day. Let’s show Topeka how great our club is by joining others in a day of caring!

If you are interested in volunteering on 9-23-22 from approximately 8:30-11:00 let Cassandra Taylor know (even if you can’t commit to the entire time let us know). Once we have an idea of how many Rotarians are able to come, we will pick the perfect volunteer project for us to do together. Also included for volunteers is a Nancy Perry Day of Caring T-shirt. We have it on good authority that the shirts are “very cool” this year.

Please let Cassandra know by 8-19-22 of your interest. You can contact Cassandra at cmt@htkarchitects.com or 785-506-2316. We will also have a sign-up sheet at our 8-19-22 club meeting.

Topeka South Rotarians, over the last three years we have adjusted and adapted to many things. While we have some traditions that have moved on there are many we are happy to return. One of those being the face to face fellowship we have been missing over the last few years. It feels so great to be fully back in person so we can share in each other’s company.  One of the many traditions we will be starting again is tracking attendance. We are not doing this as a deterrent it’s really just a way to be sure if you’ve been gone for several weeks we can check in to be sure all is well. One of the things I love so much about this club is the relationships and connections we have with each other. If we have a member that’s been gone, we want to be sure to reach out and make sure everything is OK. So, as you stop by to get your badge and cup of coffee, don’t forget to check the box next to your name on the sign-in sheet.  Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
