District Conference on us!

Rotary District 5710 Conference is Friday, April 27 and Saturday, April 28!

Registration is now open. You can pick and choose from what you do over the two days. Friday is great information on Rotary, and this year, there will be a special presentation celebrating 30 years of women in Rotary and key note speaker Frank White. There is a banquet Friday evening with some mystery entertainment! There's also a service project each day. Saturday is a celebration of the past year out at the Community America Ballpark with a service project and Rotary Olympics!

The Shawnee Mission Rotary Club board has decided to reimburse the conference registration for any member who has never attended a conference. We want to show you how meaningful Rotary outside the walls of our own club can be!

Please consider attending part of the conference. Registration is available online.

Text Messaging Comes to Shawnee Mission Rotary Club

Posted on Feb 19, 2018

New Club Text Message Reminders

In an effort to stay more connected with our members, we'll be starting a new text message service. Club members will receive a text message reminder about the club meeting each week, along with any special information. Members can opt out of the service, and those without texting capabilities can receive a voice call. The hope is that this will be an easy way to reach everyone using a method of communication that is increasingly viewed as the most convenient - texting! The Spinning Wheel and other email communication will still be sent, as usual. We'll test it for the first time on Wednesday and then can discuss at the club meeting. Please let me know if you have any questions in the meantime.

As part of a web-based consortium of professionals, Brian has designed and built a model home known as "MicMillian House". Houzz.com states "The Accessible Life provides a forum for people to share their solutions with those who’ve yet to discover the possibilities. Whether from injury or old age, as our bodies begin to fail us, we need to make adaptations to our built environments."

Club sign gets some T.L.C.

You see it every week, but when was the last time you really looked? It's our club's welcome sign, faithfully greeting club members and visitors week in and week out. The sign was showing its age, and last week, Wayne London took it upon himself to put his skills to work and show the sign a little T.L.C. Thank you, Wayne! Now we're all spruced up for the years ahead! Someone proving once again that Rotarians are People of Action!
