No meeting this week.

 

Please dont forget we are collecting items for the food pantry! Canned goods, mac & cheese, pasta, rice, peanut butter and canned meats are among the most sought after items. Bring your donations to the next in person meeting. 

 

 

The sign-up for Mission's Citywide Clean-up is now online. The clean-up will be Saturday, April 23 from 9-11. We'll start at Beverly Park across the street from the Powell Community Center. There will be breakfast and music and fun as everyone gets their clean-up assignments and picks up supplies before heading out. We will tackle our Adopt-a-Street section on Lamar Avenue, but depending on how many volunteers we have, we may be able to tackle a bit more.

 

Down Syndrome Innovations is still looking for volunteers to help clients with in person interviews at the upcoming job fair on April 26th from 6-8PM at the Powell Community Center. If interested, please contact Amanada Myers, Employment Coordinator at amanda@kcdsi.org or 913-689-2774.

Dear Shawnee Mission Rotarians:

 

Anyone who would like to join thousands of Rotarians around the world who are stepping up to help the Ukrainian people with basic needs have the opportunity to do so through The Rotary Foundation,   From now until April 30th, all contributions to the Foundation's Disaster Response Fund are designated to provide food, water, medical supplies, clothing, and shelter to those displaced by the current crisis. 

 

Prioritized, expedited grants are being issued to Rotary clubs in areas in which there is a dire need of emergency aid through relief work and on the ground to help displaced families.  

 

To donate, simply go to the rotary.org website.  From the homepage, click "Read More" and scroll down to the link to donate "here" (or sign in to MyRotary to make a donation).  Follow the directions to contribute by credit card.  If you prefer to pay by check, you can give it to me at a meeting or mail to me at 17719 S. Millridge St., Olathe, KS 66062.  I'll be glad to submit your checks to the Foundation. 

 

Rotarians are people of action.  Now is a good time to act by giving to the Foundation's Disaster Response Fund.   Please consider helping in this humanitarian crisis.  

 

Yours in Rotary, 

 

Russ Erickson
