Charter President Charlie Smith
An email was sent out this week that Lenexa Rotary Charter President Charlie Smith will be having the bottom lobe of his left lung removed on February 29th at KU Medical Center.
Pat Thomas and Charlie will be making the ShrimpFest cocktail sauce on Thursday, February 25th at 6:00 p.m. at Charlie's house. He said they are looking for "wanna-be sauce meisters for training and the enjoyment of being creative. The SECRET recipe goes with the second bottle of beer." See Pat Thomas if you are interested.
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?

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!
