Craig Jorgensen will be speaking to us on Friday about The First Tee of Greater Kansas City. The First Tee of Greater Kansas City is a youth development organization teaching young people positive values such as honesty, integrity, sportsmanship and confidence while using the game of golf as a tool. The First Tee lessons are taught at five area learning centers and through in-school programs.
Illness at Lakeview Village
There has been a GI-related illness going around at the different complexes at Lakeview Village this past week. Quite a few residents have become sick. The cafeteria and staff have been unaffected. The management at Lakeview Village requests that if you are experiencing any GI symptoms, or other flu-like illness, please stay home!
President Amy Needs YOUR Help!
President Amy has ONE item left to achieve the Presidential Citation for this year – she needs 50% of the Lenexa Rotary members registered in "My Rotary" on www.rotary.org
It is VERY easy. Could you PLEASE take 5 minutes out of your day and do this to help our Club achieve this award and recognition?
If you have any questions or need help, please contact President Amy at amy@amosfamily.com

Elisa Zöhrer Photography
At last week's meeting, our Austrian Exchange Student, Elisa Zöhrer, announced that she is selling photographs that she took at Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park over the holidays. She is raising money to help fund her trip to New York City in March and her trip around the U.S. in July.
She has six (6) photographs available for purchase. Sizes available are 4 X 6, 5 X 7, 8 X 10 and 11 X 17. The cost for the photographs: a donation to her trip -- no set cost. An email was sent to all the members this week showing all 6 photographs.
If you would like it framed, she will charge you what she pays for framing -- which she thinks will be approximately $20.
If you are interested in seeing all 6 photographs or purchasing any of these beautiful photographs, please email Elisa at: elisa.zoehrer.ez@gmail.com
Indicate in your email which photograph (they are each numbered), the size and quantity.
Elisa thanks you!
