From Saturday, the best Hot Dog Delivery Team in the Midwest grilled and served more than 1,400 hot dogs with the help of 12 Rotarians and 12 Interact students. Post-event, Lenexa Fire Department organizers shared the following: “What an incredible day! Words can’t begin to capture the gratitude, pride, and appreciation we have for each of you who helped make this year’s Open House another overwhelming success, delivering an event that left our community smiling, learning, and walking away proud of their Lenexa Fire Department.” I couldn’t say it any better!
The beginning of October will mark the start of the Fire Safety Trailer visits at Lenexa-area elementary schools in honor of Fire Safety Month. We try to provide a "morning" and "afternoon" Rotarian volunteer for each school visit.
Many of you have volunteered before and know the drill. For those that haven't, we assist the firefighters as they take 3rd graders (fire safety) and 5th graders (severe weather) through the trailer in 30-minute slots. The firefighters do all the talking and crowd control; Rotarians simply support them from a little control room by answering faux 911 calls, operating the smoke machine, etc., and resetting "fire hazards" between classes. There isn't much for us to do for the severe weather presentations. If you haven't volunteered, either the volunteer before you or the firefighters can show you what to do.
The preliminary schedule of volunteer slots is below my signature. As we get closer to October and schools finalize their class schedules, I can provide more detailed schedules for each school visit.
If you can sign up for a slot (or three!), please respond to Ashley Sherardand she will keep the master schedule.
As always, we appreciate the volunteer spirit of this Club -- please let Ashley know if you can help.
