Our speaker will be Rhonda Pollard, the Superintendent of Recreation at Johnson County Parks and Recreation District.
For the past 60 years the Johnson County Park and Recreation District has been enhancing the lives of the citizens of Johnson County through its parks, quality of programs, professionalism and response to developing trends.
The District's contributions to the personal lives of Johnson County's citizens have earned the District local appreciation and national acclaim. Each year, the District records more than 7 million park visitors and over 2 million recreation participants in over 4,000 programs.
We are partnering with the Shawnee Rotary Club for a ramp building event. If you are interested in volunteering for this project please contact Greg Peterson. This is a very rewarding experience that enables older adults and people with disabilities in the Kansas City Metro area live in safe, accessible and healthy homes. You don't need to be a master craftsman to volunteer, you just need to be able to work. A ramp gives hope to those who didn't have hope before receiving a ramp.
Once again, we will be helping the Lenexa Fire Department by grilling hot dogs and distributing them along with chips and water to people attending the open house. Please contact Ashley Sherard if you would like to help.
Thanks so much for all the help on making this year a big success! Thanks to Rotary and the SMNW Interact for all the men and women power. Thank you to Vincent with Maps for the donation of coffee and our Members for their donation of time. We grossed $4,974 this year for the Lenexa Historical Society.

When did you join Rotary:September 2014 -- in time to watch the World Series at my first Rotary event -- the College Clinic, in my alma mater's cafeteria
Why did you join Rotary: My Dad was in the Garnett Rotary and I was impressed that they got a traffic light installed so his patients could get to the hospital. I had joined the Bonner Springs Rotary in 1997 when Del Heininger stopped in, and he asked! For a time I worked with Ira Neufled's son who introduced me to Greg Peterson . . . and the Oak Hill Rotary Mafia. To date, American Century has donated $5,365 for all my volunteer hours to The Lenexa Rotary Foundation.
