Welcome to the website for Rotary Club of Lenexa, but more importantly, welcome to the world of Rotary where your ideas, enthusiasm and energy are welcome!
Rotary International is a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change-across the globe, in our communities and in ourselves. Rotary Club of Lenexa is one of over 46,000 clubs globally who promote peace; fight disease; provide clean water, sanitation and hygiene; save mothers and children; support education; grow local economies; and protect the environment.
During the 2022-2023 Rotary year, our international theme is: Imagine. Rotary International President Jennifer Jones wants us to Imagine the possibilities in the change that Rotarians can make to transform the world! Collectively, when unleashed, the power of Rotary is potentially awesome!
I have built many lasting friendships from my connection to Rotary, and should you choose to join our club, I know that you will too. I’ve also found that the opportunity to work shoulder-to-shoulder and learn from some of the top leaders in our community is an amazing professional opportunity. When you are surrounded by great leaders, you learn how to become a better leader!
So…. I hope you will Imagine what it would be like if you were a Rotarian! Imagine the impact of your ideas when acted upon by a collective body that dreams about, then takes action stirring positive change in our world. Imagine the possibilities!
We are hopeful that you will consider joining Rotary Club of Lenexa to help make a difference in our community. We will warmly welcome your new ideas, your energy and your enthusiasm! And your Imagination too! Our club meets every Friday for lunch at the Blue Moose Grill at noon, and always features an interesting guest speaker. If you are interested in joining our club, please contact us at becca.7980@gmail.com and we will provide you more information and answer any questions you might have about the Rotary experience.
Thank you once again for your interest in the Rotary Club of Lenexa. Come Imagine with us!
Sincerely,
Ben Harber
President 2022-2023

District 5495 (northern central AZ) is working on a Rotary Foundation Global Water Grant to provide homes on the Navajo Nation with inside running tap water. There are over 200,000 Native Americans living on 25,000 square miles of land with 40 percent without inside tap water and/or a toilet along with 44 percent of the children in poverty.
It is estimated that the average American home consumes 100 gallons of water per day while the average Navajo home consumes seven (7) gallons per day. Or putting it another way, todays toilet uses 3.5 to 5 gallons per flush. So, two (2) flushes per day can exceed a day use of water. And what about: Laundry? Bathing? Cooking? Having a glass of water?
Many of these people, our Arizona neighbors, presently have their water delivered into 50 gallon holding barrels in their yards by a water truck and then into the home by small container. Our goal is to install underground cisterns which pump running tap water into or selected homes (need-based) at a cost of $4,500 per home. The homes are located within a 70-mile radius of Thoreau, New Mexico which is close to Gallup, New Mexico.
The District Global Grant is working with with DigDeep which supplies and installs the total water system at each home. The water system consists of a 1,200 gallon in ground cistern, electric pump, sink, solar panel, battery, filter, heater and gray water leach field.
Please view Navajo Water video:
