This Friday . . .

Our speaker this Friday is Dr. Chris Kuehl, the managing director of Armada Corporate Intelligence.

Founded by Keith Prather and Chris Kuehl in 2000, Armada began as a competitive intelligence firm, grounded in the discipline of gathering, analyzing, and disseminating intelligence. Today, Armada executives function as trusted strategic advisors to business executives, merging our fundamental roots in corporate intelligence gathering, economic forecasting and strategy development.

Chris has been Armada's economic analyst and has worked with a wide variety of private clients and professional associations in the last 18 years. He is the Chief Economist for the National Association for Credit Management. He prepares NACM's monthly Credit Managers Index. He is also the Economic Analyst for the Fabricators and Manufacturers Association and writes their bi-weekly publication, Fabrinomics, which details the impact of economic trends on manufacturers.

Chris is the chief editor for the Business Intelligence Brief, distributed all over the world by business organizations and one of the primary writers for the Black Owl Report. He also makes approximately 100 presentations each year to business and industry associations in the US and overseas.

Chris has a doctorate in Political Economics and advanced degrees in Soviet Studies and Asian Studies and was a professor of international economics and finance for over 15 years prior to starting Armada.

Note from the Sergeant-At-Arms

ShrimpFest

ShrimpFest 2019 is March 2nd -- but it is never too early to start planning!

Each year the President-Elect is the General Chair of ShrimpFest. Last week President-Elect Lenet Compton did a presentation and had the committee chairs come forward, and also indicated that a couple of the committee chairs would like to have a different Rotarian take over the committee next year. Below is a list of the committee chairs:

General Chair - Lenet Compton

Food Purchase & Preparation - Pat Thomas

Ticket Sales - Pete Black

Publicity - Phil Hammond

Cash Management - Andy Hoedl

Food Service - Erik Troy

Non-Alcoholic Beverage - Jerry Bowmer

Alcoholic Beverages - Marshall Rimann

Bingo - Moe Cougher BLUE DOT

Silent Auction & Prizes - Fred Spears BLUE DOT

Corporate Sponsorship - Phil Hammond

Business of the Year - Phil Hammond

Desserts - Amy Ruo

Pull Tabs - Rick Morton

Traffic Flow Director - Matt Janes

Decorations - NEED

Clean-Up - NEED

Lenet is looking for:

BLUE DOT - A member to shadow Moe and another to shadow Fred this year with the understanding they will lead those committees in 2020;
A chairperson for Decorations and Clean-Up; and
Each committee chair to look at how they can reduce the cost in their area.

Lenet will reach out to committee chairs no later than October with information on their past expenses, listen to their ideas on cost reduction and offer a proposed budget. The main themes for ShrimpFest 2019 are sustainable/environmentally friendly and revenue increase for programs with a ticket price increase. We are at building capacity so we cannot increase sales, therefore, we are looking to decrease cost.

End Polio Now Shoes

Lenexa Rotarian, Lenet Compton, showed off her "End Polio Now" Converse shoes. Anyone interested in purchasing these sporty shoes, please contact Lenet. Part of the proceeds of the shoes goes to the Rotary International Polio Plus campaign.

Lenexa Rotary Tree Planting

Last year's Rotary International President, Ian H.S. Riseley, challenged every Rotary club to make a difference by planting a tree for each of its members between the start of the Rotary year on 1 July 2017 and Earth Day on 22 April 2018. Trees remove carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from the air, which slows global warming.

Lenexa Rotary accepted RI President Riseley's challenge and instead planted 50 trees in honor of Lenexa Rotary's 50th Anniversary in 2017. Seen below is a plaque being placed at the site of the tree planting.

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, Jerry Henson via email.
