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 - Mike Dix
