I am pleased and excited to announce we have chartered a new club in our district.
 
Rotary International notified me Thursday they have received the charter application for the "Kansas City Metro Rotary Club to End Homelessness."
 
This is a Cause-Based club. Meaning it is focused solely on the cause of homelessness for its service projects, fundraising etc. Most of the chartering members (27 charter members. The club is up to 30 members currently) are new to Rotary and represent a dozen or so homeless advocacy organizations throughout the metro area.  It is unique in our district in others way as well. Most of the members are under 40, female and more diverse than the typical club in our district.
They will meet on the first and third Tuesdays of the month at different homeless service locations and will incorporate a service project at that location each meeting.
