Greetings Rotary friends,
It was a GREAT turnout last Thursday to hear Dr. Rana Johnson share her collaborative role to create a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging at K-State. Thanks to Daryn Soldan, your Program chair, for introducing Dr. Johnson.
For the official third week of the Greeting 're-launch', Chris Bailey warmly welcomed member Curt Zeigler, Co-President of Junction City Rotary and guests, Patricia Hernandez, Michael Heylin and Jayme Morris-Hardeman. Jayme, the executive director of THRIVE, accepted the Club's Cup Money August contribution of $500.00 to support their mission to reduce poverty by building skills and relationships that strengthen families and individuals.
Take a moment to read this Community Cares Chest article from WIBW. Thanks to just a few of our volunteers; Gary Fees, Tom Phillips, Tara Claussen, Phil Maddox, Paul Bullock, Vern Henricks, Rebecca Gould, and Keith Westervelt.
This Thursday join your Rotary friends and guests to hear from Vern Henricks, Past District Governor and current GMCF President and CEO share his Heart for Haiti.
See you Thursday,
Mitzi
Mitzi Richards
President
