This Friday our speaker will be our very own Austrian Exchange Student, Elisa Zöhrer. She has "graduated" from Shawnee Mission West and her exchange year is coming to an end. We look forward to hearing about Elisa's exchange year. Lenexa Rotary would like to thank Elisa's exchange parents, Dean and Linda Porter for hosting Elisa this year
Donate to The Rotary Foundation
The end of the Rotary year is June 30th. Lenexa Rotary has been recognized as a "Star Club" for the past several years. To become a Star Club, our club needs to average a donation of $100 per member to The Rotary Foundation. Members that want to make their annual $100 contribution to The Rotary Foundation can do so by either giving a check to Phil Hammond at our meetings or donate online at www.rotary.org. Phil will bring an updated list of where each member stands as to their next level of Paul Harris Fellow.
Installation of New Member - Bryan Sarff
This Friday, Lenexa Rotary will be installing another new member, Bryan Sarff. Bryan is President and Personal Wealth Manager of TRUE Private Wealth Management, LLC in Overland Park. His services cover all areas of the wealth management process from investment strategies, retirement planning, risk management, estate conversion, and insurance planning. Bryan was a speaker at our meeting a few months ago. Becca Coleman was Bryan's membership sponsor.
Let's all welcome Mike to Lenexa Rotary! We look forward to working along side you on many projects!
