President's Message

Hello Friends,

 

What a unique time we are living in!  Since 1960 the Rotary Club of Overland Park has worked to provide service to others.  Recent times are unprecedented; however, I continue to be impressed by the dedication of our Rotarians. The resilience of this club shines on as we resume meetings, continue our traditions of community support and seek new ways to serve. While many things have changed our dedication to Service Above Self remains the same.

 

There are so many exciting things happening.  Overland Park Rotary Club, through its affiliated Foundation, has raised and distributed over $100,000 to local charities in the last two years.  We have also partnered with Shawnee Mission South High School to form an active Interact Club.  All of this while building good will and better friendships.  This year we look forward to continuing our efforts to raise funds in order to support local charities, provide college scholarships to deserving high school students, support literacy, and collaborate with other Rotary clubs in efforts to eradicate Polio.

 

I invite you to come help us make a difference in our community and around the world as we align with the Rotary theme Service to Change Lives.  Please join us at an upcoming meeting.  Click here to see our speaker list.

 

It is an honor to serve as President this year as we continue our journey of growth and service.      

 

Yours in Rotary,

 

Jameia Haines
President 2021-2022
