Last year's Rotary International President, Ian H.S. Riseley, challenged every Rotary club to make a difference by planting a tree for each of its members between the start of the Rotary year on 1 July 2017 and Earth Day on 22 April 2018. Trees remove carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from the air, which slows global warming.
Lenexa Rotary accepted RI President Riseley's challenge and instead planted 50 trees in honor of Lenexa Rotary's 50th Anniversary in 2017. Seen below is a plaque being placed at the site of the tree planting.
