This Friday our speaker will be Jim Martin with YOUTHrive.  Jim is the Vice President of YOUTHrive Corporation and also the Dean of Academics and Professor at the US Army Command and General Staff College.
 
Youthrive is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is focused on empowering and supporting our foster youth as they transition to adulthood. The organization was established in July 2015 after the founding team and its community partners agreed that the best opportunity for sustainable and scalable impact was to form a new organization that is intently focused on meeting the wants and needs of this specific population of young people. Vision: To see all youth become adults that thrive in their community Mission: To broadly engage the KC community to empower, equip, and support our foster youth as they make the transition to becoming healthy and contributing adults in our community

Woodland Public Charity-TONIGHT
Woodland Public Charity is having its annual banquet on November 13, 2019, at the Holiday Inn on 87th Street & US 69 Hwy at 6:00 p.m.  Because of our working relationship with Woodland and our friend Jorge Coromac, it would be nice to have our Club well represented.

Bottle #2, Lenexa Rotary Club History
Pictured L-R:  Sammie Henson, Tedd Maxfield, Jerry Henson and President Lenet
 
Do you have a sack of family photos somewhere at home?  At least you think the sack contains family photos.  You aren't 100% sure because no one wrote names on the back.  That is what Bottle #2 gathering was like.  We went through our club historical information as found on our club website (yes, there is information there).  Much we recognized.  Jerry and Sammie regaled us with funny fill-in-the blank tidbits on several items.  Then there were those "family photo" items that none of us knew anything about.  Therefore, I could use a few club historians willing to go through the information and provide explanatory content.  Another question is how long should we list projects we no longer participate in?  I'd love to hear your thoughts and get your help with updates.
 
Next Orientation Social - Bottle #1 pulled by Melissa Sindt - is Thursday, February 13th from 7-9 pm.  The topic is:  Rotary History and Paul Harris Designations,
 
Looking forward to seeing you at my house, 20300 W. 99th St., Lenexa.

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.
