District Governor Jason Leib 2019-2020
Lenexa Rotary's own Jason Leib, started his duties as the District Governor of District 5710 at the District Conference last weekend.  Here are some pictures of him presenting DG Blanche Parks with her coveted Past District Governor's pin and he also announced and greeted all the incoming club presidents, including Lenet Compton.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
RECAP-District Conference
 
 
District Conference was last Friday and Saturday at the new Cyrus Hotel in downtown Topeka.  DG Blanche Parks and her conference team did a WONDERFUL job!  The Wizard of Oz movie was released in 1939 -- 80 years ago -- therefore the theme of District Conference was based on the Wizard of Oz.

Jens stay is coming to an end . . .
 
Jen's last day of school was May 10th.  His host parents, asked that the Club try to find some activities for him the last part of May to ensure that he does not get bored.  Please think of some 1/2  to whole day excursions you can do with him during his last few weeks.
 
Please contact Steve Nettles with your ideas.  Thank you for your cooperation.

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.  
Rotary International bylaws state that a member can make up for a missed meeting within two (2) weeks before or after the meeting.  if you anticipate missing a meeting, you can make up for it up to 2 weeks before that date.  If you miss a meeting, you have up to 2 weeks after the missed meeting to make up.  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.  Send all make-ups to our club secretary, Bill McCollum via email.
