Beer Can Fundraiser
It's that time of year again!  Sergeant-At-Arms, Fred Spears is handing out beer cans to all members for our annual Beer Can Collection. The process in the past was: 1) drink the beer; 2) clean and dry the can; 3) fill the can with coins, dollar bills or a check; 4) give the can back to Fred.  In the past, we have packaged meals for Rise Against Hunger.  
 
This year is a little different.  The process this year is:  1) drink the beer;  2) write a check (preferably for $50-100); and 3) mail check to:

Need a Make-Up?
 
When a member misses a meeting, there are several ways to make up for the absence:
  • Attend a Club function -- board meeting, committee meeting, project, Youth Exchange
  • Attend a District or International function -- Rotary Youth Exchange, PETs, District Conference
  • Online make-up - Rotary eclub One - go to www.rotaryeclubone.org
  • Attend another Rotary Club meeting
    • While out-of-town for vacation or business
    • In-town around the KC area
    • Download the app "Rotary Club Locator" and find a Rotary club anywhere in the world.  
Rotarians can make up for an absence at their club meeting within the same Rotary year.  If a member attempts to make up at another club and that club either did not meet that week, or changed venues, the club member can let their club's secretary know the date and time of the attempted make-up and it will count as a makeup toward a missed meetings.  Make ups also qualify if you attend an eClub meeting.   Send all make-ups to our club secretary, Bill McCollum via email.
