Rotary on the Road - February 5, 2020
Shawnee Mission, like many other missions, was established as a manual training school attended by boys and girls from Shawnee, Delaware, and other Indian nations from 1839 to 1862. The mission is a National Historic Landmark and  sits on a 12-acre site.
  
We will be given a brief history of the site, talk about some of their programs and Master Plan and then members look around exhibits on their own. A light lunch will be provided.
 
 
KC Erupts in Fireworks 
Our club posed for photos last week cheering the Chiefs on the Road to Miami. This week, we all celebrate their Super Bowl Championship!
I found a unique view of KC Celebrating the Championship Sunday night, amid the myriad of photos:
 
New Area of Focus for Rotary
Hello Rotarians,
 
Exciting news!! The Rotary Foundation Board of Trustees announced earlier this week they will be reviewing the addition of Environment as a new Area of Focus for Rotary. You have an opportunity to make a difference by completing a survey which will be used to provide input for the Board of Trustees in making their decision. The deadline is January 31.
 
I would also encourage you to take a few minutes to read the ESRAG position paper in support of adding a unique Area of Focus for the Environment.  Please also consider membership in ESRAG.
