Manhattan Rotary Club Updates:
 
  • Last week’s program was Beth Klug, the Executive Director of Shepherds Crossing. One of the many things Beth discussed was that Shepherds Crossing coordinates with many other not-for-profits in the Manhattan area to ensure there is as little duplication as possible as well as excellent service to those they serve.

  • This week with be Club Assembly. This is a very important activity with many things we are currently undertaking being initiated by the discussions during past Club Assembly meetings. I expect this trend will continue as there will be meetings to discuss membership, programs, possible fundraisers, our website and technology, student of the month possible changes and our birthing kit project. I will make myself available should anyone have something they want to discuss with me.

  • Our next Rotary on Tap will be at the Blue Moose on March 19th. Please note the time change – we begin at 4 pm and go until 6 pm.

  • The KSU Rotaract Club met Sunday, February 24th. The went over Rotary’s six areas of focus, four of their members selected mentors, and they discussed upcoming projects to include presenting birthday books to Northview students, and again sponsoring Box City. What a fantastic group of future Rotarians who deserve our full support.
