It’s hard to believe summer is nearly half over already!  We are happily returning to more normal Rotary gatherings and wanted to share some planning decisions for those who have been unable to join us recently.

 

Our monthly plan is as follows:

 

 

Second Wednesday:  In person planning session + board meeting @ Milburn.  Until we are back up and running, we will use this meeting for fellowship and planning.  We’d like to encourage everyone to attend and participate as we make plans to move forward post Covid.   We will also introduce “Stoney’s Corner”.  Stoney will provide an update on business happenings in the northeast corridor.

 

Third Wednesday:  Service project.   We are setting aside time each month for a community service project in lieu of a regular meeting.  These projects may fall on an evening or weekend.  We plan to announce these as soon as they are scheduled to allow as many as possible to help.  

 

Other scheduled events:

Thursday, August 5^th Mission Market (4:30-8 pm):  beer and beverage sales with proceeds going toward Pints for Polio

Friday, September 17^th Harvesting Hope Fundraiser (5-7:30 pm):  benefit for Growing Futures @ Shawnee Mission Theater in the Park.

             

 

Because of the holiday in July and some events already on our calendar, we won’t follow the new plan exactly for the first month. 

 

July 28^th:  Guest speaker and lunch at Milburn.  Board meeting to follow.

 

 

 

This year, Growing Future Early Education Center is hosting a "Harvesting Hope" fundraiser at Shawnee Mission Theatre in the Park. There will be live music, a craft market, dinner, beer, wine, games, a raffle, and more. There are opportunities for volunteer groups to help out at the event. We are targeting the 5:00-7:30 p.m. shift. This will be hosting the games, bar, running ice, selling tickets, etc.

 

 

I know some schedules will change between now and then, but they are asking for names of volunteers now. If you think you will be interested in volunteering, please let Emily Randel know and she will add your name to our volunteer form.
