June is Rotary Fellowships Month
Manhattan Rotary Club
Week of June 20, 2022
This week’s presenter: Vern Henricks, District Governor
Greetings fellow Rotarians,
You won’t want to miss this Thursday’s meeting when our own member and District Governor Vern Henricks gives us his District 5710 Year in Review. I’m not saying, but there might be a cool treat there for all of us!
I hope you enjoyed last week’s speaker and fellow Rotarian Jason Smith. Thanks to Jayson Cyr for filling in for Dale Bradley and making the introductions. There is so much happening in Manhattan! Jason reported that over the last year we have eight projects moving forward compared to 17 in the previous 20 years! That’s incredible!
So many club members turned out for C. Clyde Jones’ 100th Birthday Bash at the K-State College of Business that Past-President Rebecca Gould commented that we could have held a club meeting. Thanks to all who came out and made his event extra special.
We also had a fun time this past weekend serving the community at the Juneteenth 5K and Fun Run and Vendor Fair on Saturday where we gave away free Schwan’s ice cream. It was a hot one! What was remaining of the ice cream will be enjoyed by members of our community served by Be Able, a downtown community center engaging those in adversity.
Monday afternoon members of our club enjoyed the Rotary golf tournament at the Manhattan Country Club. Tonight, we’ll be enjoying a Rotary on Tap at the country club. I bet it will be a lot cooler for indoors than it was for the golfers! See you soon!
Robbin Cole
2021-2022 President
