Mission Family Picnic – Beer/Wine Garden

 

Once again, the Shawnee Mission Rotary beer garden was a hit! Selling drinks at the Mission Family Picnic at Broadmoor Park, the club raised funds for Pints for Polio, just in time for World Polio Day on October 24. Following the club's first outing with a beverage tent at the Mission Market in August, this was an improved experience with more sales, wine added to the menu by popular demand, and more good times and community engagement! Thanks to everyone who volunteered!

Our Rotary on the Road in October was a visit to Hillcrest Transitional Housing. We toured the youth building in Kansas City, Kansas and made great connections. This organization is a leader in solving homelessness in the KC Metro. Their process provides full support in a structured environment that teaches self-sufficiency for achieving goals of permanent housing, employment, education, money management and wellbeing.

 

One key need we identified: In order to save funds, the residents in the program are encouraged to pack their lunches as opposed to getting fast food while they're out working or at school. Hillcrest could use soft-sided lunch bags and ice packs and tumblers/water bottles for the residents. If you are interested in donating any of those items that you have that are in good condition, or can purchase any of those items new, we'd like to gather a few to give to Hillcrest by the end of the month. They currently have need for 8-10, but could use more for future residents if we'd like to do more! Thanks in advance!
