Welcome, Brett Ballard—Head Coach, Washburn Men's Basketball
Brett Ballard is a former University of Kansas player and Wake Forest assistant. He was hired to succeed Bob Chipman as head men’s basketball coach.
 
Ballard has served on Danny Manning’s staff for five seasons—three years at Wake Forest and two at Tulsa. “This is an incredible opportunity and I am excited to come home and coach at a university with an elite basketball program,” Ballard said. “Washburn is a place that has very high standards and also places a value on developing student athletes both on and off the court, and those were very important factors to me coming. Look forward to an exciting program as we welcome Brett's visit to our club.

Benjy Zhang Presents Fourth Check for Sole Mates
Benjy (son of TSR member Baili Zhang) presented the fourth check to TSR Sole Mates at last Friday's club meeting, bringing the total amount he has donated in the past four years to $2,454. He also bid farewell to TSR before heading east to attend the University of Pennsylvania this fall.
 
He plans to continue to raise funds for Sole Mates through the sales of his professionally recorded CD, “Music for the Sole," which will be completed in late August. He suggests a donation of $10 per copy, and all proceeds will go to Sole Mates.
 
Many thanks to Benjy for sharing his immense talents in selfless service.

Greetings from Rotary International Conference
"Hannah and I have been learning a lot and are meeting people from all over the world. We heard from Bill Gates, John Cena, Minda Dentler (polio survivor and first female wheelchair athlete to complete an Ironman) and Ashton Kutcher today.
 
We witnessed the initial public pledges from Rotary, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and many other organizations toward the remaining fight against polio to the tune of $1.2 billion.
 
We are sharing this humbling experience with 33,000+ Rotarians from around the world. Tomorrow we look forward to hearing from a number of Polio Eradication Ambassadors including Golf Icon Jack Nicklaus." —Paul
 
 

TSR 25th Annual Golf Tournament June 23
It's gonna be a blast!
 
This year is the 25th Annual Topeka South Rotary Golf Tournament. Proceeds will benefit the YWCA and Easter Seals Capper Foundation.
 
Golf committee chair Gary Lucas has lots of Caddyshack fun up his sleeve! He challenges each Rotarian to get together a team with 3 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.
 
Gary is looking for raffle prizes, and hole sponsorships are available at just $110.
 
If you have questions, email Gary here. Download the registration flyer with full details here.

Teacher Lunch Bunch a Big Success
Thanks for helping make the very last Teacher Lunch Bunch a big success!
 
I believe everybody had a great time, and it was a wonderful capstone to a longtime relationship.
 
About a dozen Rotarians kicked off a great spring weekend for these great folks. Our club's Can Money provided pizza, drinks and a nice gift card and much needed thanks and recognition for the Avondale West folks.
 
THANKS TO ALL!! —Glenn
