Share the Joy of Rotary!
 
Thank you to everyone who came out to support the Christmas in July Beer Crawl!  The Beer Crawl is held annually by HDLI and supports Rotary’s focus on economic development.  It is also FUN!!  Check out more photos in the photo albums below.
 
SHOES, SHOES, SHOES!!!  The club has made a great start toward achieving our goal of 2,500 pairs of shoes for the Shoes for Orphan Souls project – we currently have over 900 pairs!!!  If each member can donate 4 pairs of shoes each month for the next 8 months, or 38 pairs total, we will easily achieve the goal.  We are also collecting shoelaces and monetary donations – we have a team that loves shopping.  Shoes should be closed toe – no flip flops or sandals.
 Let’s Unite For Good!
See you Wednesday,
Reed

Shoes for Orphan Souls Update:   We are well on our way to reach this year's goal, 2,500 ...but we need to keep our "foot" on the gas pedal!   Keep your eyes out for more fun and games to support this project.   Happy Dollars in August go to this campaign. 
D6040 Foundation Dinner:  Step back in time to the Roaring 20's and celebrate Rotary D6040's Foundation Dinner on November 7 at the Madrid Theatre in Kansas City.  Our Club is sponsoring two tables this year so we can properly support our very own DG Jodi Sundaram.  There are 20 seats up for grabs at $150 per seat, but don't wait too long as 10 seats are already taken!   Click on the image to register for your seat! Your support of The Rotary Foundation supports impactful projects locally and globally while also offering a great chance to connect, celebrate, and build relationships across our district.  
Rotary Plaza Update: We are creating a committee to lead the charge in developing a plan of action to add an Annex (storage shed) to the open area directly west of the Pavilion (at the north end of the driveway)at Rotary Plaza.  If you have been in the Pavilion, you know how badly we need additional storage space!  We already have some people tagged for this committee but if you are interested contact Pat Knauss.  Planning will start in August. 
Polio Plus Update:   The goal for club Polio donations at $3,000.  Members can go to RI.org and send donations directly.  You can also send your check to the Rotary Club of Liberty at 100 W Franklin St Liberty MO 64068.  We have also set up a donation campaign on the club website where you can use your credit card, click on the EndPolioNow logo to the left to access.    
Hillcrest Hope Apt Fundraising:    I know is is hard to believe but Fall is coming!   We are once again selling Mums to raise funds to support the Rotary sponsored apt at Hillcrest Hope.  Order forms will be available starting the first of August.  You can start scrolling through your rolodex now to find buyers NOW!

Service Pop-Up Project:  "Kits for Kids"
KITS FOR KIDS IS BACK   -THIS PROJECT ENDS 7/31/2025
 
Children living in poverty often go back to school without the basic items needed to help them manage proper hygiene.

When we asked kids, "what do you need for back-to-school," they said they wanted to "look good" and "smell good." That is why we work with local school districts and area churches to provide low-income families with pre-assembled hygiene kits at the start of each school year.  And the items aren’t those tiny, hotel size products. They are full sized hygiene items.
