Greetings Rotarians,
District Governor and Fellow Manhattan Rotarian Vern Henricks will be our program this week. If you haven’t been to a club meeting in a while, this would be the meeting to attend! Vern has already made 24 club visits (and counting) throughout the district. We want his homecoming to be the warmest, most enthusiastic, and best attended in district 5710.
Don’t forget about the opportunity to go bowling at 7:00 pm this Wednesday, October 6 at the KSU Union with the Interact, Rotaract, and Konza Clubs. It will be a lot of fun! You are welcome to bring your family!
There is room for one or two more participants in this week’s Kansas River Battery Clean-up. Contact Chris Culbertson if you are interested in participating.
Thank you to Matt O’Keefe, Dean of the KSU College of Engineering for an engaging presentation at last week’s meeting.
Serving with you to Change Lives,
Robbin
