If someone nearby collapsed, would you know what to do? Each year, more than 300,000 people die of sudden cardiac arrest in the United States. At the end of Friday's meeting you'll know how to perform Hands-Only CPR, a stop-gap life-saving first-aid technique, that removes the respiratory element and instructs bystanders on how to offer chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 beats per minute. Juanita Sieben, a nurse and American Red Cross certified trainer, will teach the technique. Join your fellow Rotarians in the Kansas Room of the Washburn Union for Friday's meeting.
We are only three months away from this year’s trip to Guatemala and we want to give a big thank you to Topeka South Rotarians for your weekly donations to our can money fund this quarter. Your generous donations will be buying at least 40 pairs of shoes to take to the Guatemalan children and provide us funds to paint the clinic in Patanatic.
This year’s trip will be from July 15th-22nd. We already have several Rotarians from both TSR and the Downtown club committed to going on this trip. They will be personally delivering and/or implementing all of items that TSR and Downtown donate or purchase. If you would like to be a part of this trip please contact Faron Barr (785-266-8333 or fbarr@t-mfinancial.com). This linkhas more information about the trip.
There are still several items needed to make this years’ service trip a success. Starting at our Friday morning meeting on May 4th and continuing for each Friday in May, we will be collecting the following items:
Baby clothes age 1 month to 24 months
Tooth brushes
Pens and pencils
Wood crayons
Erasers
Soccer balls
Basketball and volleyballs
Over the counter medicine such as prenatal vitamins, ibuprophen, and Advil
We thank you for your continuous support of this very important project.
Mark your calendars for a fabulous golf outing to benefit Topeka South Rotary! This year is the 26th Annual Topeka South Rotary Golf Tournament. Proceeds will benefit the Rotary Foundation.
Friday, June 15, 2018
Registration – 11:30 am
Tee off - 1:00 pm
Cypress Ridge Golf Course
Golf committee chair Gary Lucas challenges each Rotarian to get together a team with three non-Rotarians. A great way to raise more money and invite some prospective members. Just $85/per person includes green fees, cart, driving range, box lunch and refreshments. You will soon be able to register for this tournament via the Cypress Ridge web site. We’ll provide that link in upcoming Wednesday newsletters.
If you have a raffle prize you’d like to donate, email gary@garylucas.org. Hole sponsorships are available at just $100. If you recruit a hole sponsor, that $100 can be made in your name to the Foundation. This is an easy way to work toward the Paul Harris designation.
See you on the golf course!
