YOU Are Invited . . .
You are invited to Kansas City area Rotary's best networking opportunity. This is a great event for current Rotarians to meet other Rotarians and an even better chance to introduce new people to Rotary!
Who do you know that wants to meet other local leaders who care about our community? Join us for a light breakfast, coffee, and great people!
The next RINC event is:
DATE: Thursday, April 28, 2016
TIME: 7:30 - 9:00 a.m.
WHERE: Scheel's, 6503 W. 135th Street, Overland Park
RINC was created to help connect emerging leaders with each other, their community and local charities. We host regular social events, allowing these leaders to network with each other and with Rotarians. This group was founded by Rotarians with the hope that our community recognizes the importance of Rotary membership in the impact on local and international service and in leadership.
SMNW Interact and HopeBuilders
Last Friday, some members of the SMNW Interact along with our Austrian Exchange Student, Elisa Zöhrer and Greg Peterson, built an outdoor ramp for a local resident in conjunction with HopeBuilders. It was a beautiful day and the students built the ramp themselves with little supervision.
