This Friday our Foundation Chair, Phil Hammond will be speaking to us about The Rotary Foundation with Rotary International and also our Foundation, The Lenexa Rotary Foundation.
2016 Rotary District Conference & Assembly
Celebrating a Century of Service in Kansas! Join other District 5710 Rotarians for the annual District Conference and Assembly. It will be held at the Riverfront Community Center in Leavenworth on April 22-23rd.
The District Assembly and District Conference are back together again, which means you have two days of Rotary events.
Friday's Assembly is designed for incoming club leaders for 2016/17. Led by District Governor Elect Chris Ford, the sessions will feature information about planning and preparing for the upcoming year. That evening will feature a special Remembrance Ceremony & Social, lit by luminaries (available for purchase).
Saturday's Conference will be a celebration of 2015/16! You will hear from our Zone Director Greg Poss, as well as presentations by the Interact and Rotaract students, Youth Exchange and others. Club awards will be presented and you won't want to miss the Centennial Celebration and Banquet!
The Annual Golf Tournament will be on Friday at the Leavenworth Country Club.

This is a great time to meet up with Rotarians in our District and also come to support and represent our Lenexa Rotary Club.
ShrimpFest Success!
The 27th Annual ShrimpFest & Bingo was a HUGE success! THANK YOU to everyone who contributed time, expertise, and resources, and made my job as Chair of the event unbelievably easy. I have heard fantastic feedback, including people describing it as "extremely well-organized," "a well-oiled machine" and most importantly, FUN! Thanks to our amazing members and volunteers, we hit it out of the park!
I admit I was sweating a little when the Democratic caucus filled up our parking lot from 2:00-4:50pm, but clearly that didn't stop hundreds of people from attending. We're still compiling the final numbers, and I hope to give that report on Friday. We had plenty of food and *almost* enough seating, with the addition of seating in the Senior Center. We were still able to fit everyone into the main room for bingo!
Congratulations to Shawnee Mission School District for winning Business of the Year!
Committee Chairs -- please take a few minutes and email to me (jcburcham@gmail.com) comments regarding your committee and any recommended changes. I will put it in the notebook to be used for upcoming years.
Again, THANK YOU for all of your hard work and commitment to Lenexa Rotary and ShrimpFest!

2016 ShrimpFest Chair
Charter President Charlie Smith
Pat Thomas visited Charlie Smith on Sunday and took him some shrimp from our ShrimpFest. He was just released from the hospital last Friday and got a wonderful report from his doctors. They said they are very confident that they got all of the cancer and the pathology reports show no other concerns. Charlie would like to thank all Rotarians for their prayers!
Notes from the "YPad"
Nothing on the YPad last Friday.
During the meeting if you think of some thing that you want to share, feel free to jot it down on the YPad -- a random thought, a suggestion, a compliment, an idea for a speaker, a joke, etc. Each week President Amy will pick up the YPads and report any messages in the newsletter and at the following meeting.
