FLASH MOB IN READING, KANSAS - EXTREME MEETING-UP! 

WHEN:  NOVEMBER 12 

District 5710 is stepping up! Rotarians KELLY WOLFERT and JONI PFLUMM decided to be leaders in the community again! On NOVEMBER 12, district members will hold a FLASH MOB - EXTREME MEETING MAKE-UP to help out Reading, Kansas with tornado damage clean-up.

After success in Joplin, Kelly and Joni felt the need to help in tornado torn Reading, Kansas which is within our district boundaries, about an hour and 45 minutes drive from Olathe - even closer for clubs in the Topeka area! The population of Reading is 250 with 101 homes - 54 of the homes were completely demolished by the tornado and all homes have some sort of damage.

There is a large piece of property in Reading with large trees that were severely damaged creating the opportunity for us to pay-it-forward.

The immediate need is for those of you who have chain saws, log splitters, trucks etc (or like me {DG John} can do whatever I'm told to do) to dedicate a day to Reading.

We will cut down trees, split the wood and sell the firewood in the Kansas City Metro (pre orders are welcome)--all proceeds going back to the community of Reading.

SO COME ALONG TO HELP WITH CUTTING, LIFTING, LOADING, SERVING COFFEE, COOKING, PLAYING THE BANJO OR WHATEVER.

We want you to invite anyone to enjoy this Rotary experience and let's see if we can have a district record turnout that will WOW Reading.
