Our 34th Annual ShrimpFest & Bingo, held on March 1, 2025, was a fantastic success! It was a fun-filled evening of all-you-can-eat shrimp and chicken wings, and our Silent Auction was a hit. We were also delighted to see a large crowd stay to enjoy the bingo games.
 
We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed to making the event such a memorable one. A special thank you to the Shawnee Mission Northwest Interact Club and all of our generous corporate sponsors for their invaluable support.
 
We are excited to announce that ShrimpFest 2026 will be held on Saturday, March 7th at the Old Town Community Center. We look forward to seeing you there!
 

We wanted to share some information about a wonderful collaborative project that was recently on display at Black Hoof Park. The Lenexa Rotary Club, Lenexa Arts Council, and Lenexa Parks & Recreation Department partnered to present a collection of Peace Poles.
 
For those unfamiliar, a Peace Pole is a monument dedicated to the message "May Peace Prevail on Earth." This tradition began in Japan following World War II and was introduced to the United States in 1986. The international peace symbol is widely recognized, and there are now over 200,000 Peace Poles in nearly every country.
 
This year's exhibit featured 35 poles along the trail, beautifully decorated by 32 talented local artists and groups. These artists dedicated a significant amount of time and creativity to craft these inspiring expressions of peace. Additionally, two poles were collaboratively decorated by community members at the Lenexa Art Fair in May, further highlighting the community's engagement with this meaningful project.
 
In a heartwarming effort to support the local community, an auction of some of the Peace Poles raised over $3,500 for Project 1020, a homeless shelter in Lenexa.

 

 
The Shawnee Mission Northwest High School Interact Club, is proudly sponsored by the Rotary Club of Lenexa. This is a wonderful and energetic group of students who not only assist Lenexa Rotary with various activities but also organize their own projects and fundraising initiatives.
 
Their commitment to service extends beyond our local community. In June 2023 and 2024, members of the Interact Club had the opportunity to travel to Puerto Rico with Woodland Charity. During these trips, they made a tangible difference by distributing essential water filters to residents, participating in the cleanup efforts at Playa Guayanes, revitalizing the community center in Calabazas with fresh paint, and contributing their efforts to a local community garden.
 

What Is Human Trafficking?

Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery. This crime occurs when a trafficker uses force, fraud or coercion to control another person for the purpose of engaging in commercial sex acts or soliciting labor or services against his/her will. Force, fraud, or coercion need not be present if the individual engaging in commercial sex is under 18 years of age.
 
If you or you know know someone who might need help call 1-888-373-7888 ( TTY: 711)|*Text 233733.
 
 

 

 
Moe Cougher with Lenexa Rotary and Olathe Noon Rotary set up another great packaging event with Heart to Heart International. Our District 5710 and Clubs already donated over $38,000. This is the second Rotary hands on packaging event. As with our last event we had great participation from Overland Park, Ambassadors of West Kansas City and Western Johnson County. We also had Lenexa's in-bound exchange student Elvira Gonzalez Acosta from Canary Islands and members of the Lenexa Community Corps.
