I thought you all did a great job! I hope everyone enjoyed the reintroduction to our committee leaders and learning more about the work of the committees. I will be sending out a survey in the coming weeks asking you to identify where you are inspired to get involved. The Rotary Clubs of Eastern Kansas, in partnership with the Kansas Leadership Center and the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation, have produced videos on the COVID-19 vaccination in Spanish and English. Please feel free to share the links. Just a reminder that early bird registration for the District Conference ends next week. Let’s show our support to Vern Henricks our District Governor and send our registrations in early.
