New Local Rotary Club Formed
to Fight Homelessness
Dear Fellow Rotarians-
I am pleased and excited to announce we have chartered a new club in our district.
Rotary International notified me Thursday they have received the charter application for the Kansas City Metro Rotary Club to End Homelessness.
This is a Cause-Based club. Meaning it is focused solely on the cause of homelessness for its service projects, fundraising etc. Most of the chartering members (27 charter members. The club is up to 30 members currently) are new to Rotary and represent a dozen or so homeless advocacy organizations throughout the metro area. It is unique in our district in others way as well. Most of the members are under 40, female and more diverse than the typical club in our district.
They will meet on the first and third Tuesdays of the month at different homeless service locations and will incorporate a service project at that location each meeting.
They will also work closely with other clubs in the metro area to remove barriers to access to housing.
The club's inaugural meeting will take place July 23rd at 11:00 at the offices of Metro Lutheran Ministries, 3033 Holmes, Kansas City MO. Please let me know if you would like to attend.

The Parkville Rotary Club is gearing up to spread some patriotic cheer this 4th of July! 
We're hitting the streets to put out over 400 American flags across Parkville and beyond to celebrate Independence Day in style. 
Let's make Parkville shine with red, white, and blue!
