Carla Killen will join us this Friday to discuss the Women's Clinic. Parkville Women’s Clinic is a non-profit organization in Kansas City, MO. We provide abortion education, medical services, and community resources for women in unexpected pregnancies. If you believe you are pregnant and unsure what to do about it, we are here to help. Our experienced staff meets with women every day who are in similar positions. We exist to help you through this situation.
Jason Henke arranged this program.
Rotary Float
Our club, for many years, supported the Rotary float in the Rose Bowl Parade by donating $1 for every member in our club. This year we have restarted that tradition.
This was the design for last year's parade. "Serving With Imagination and Hope"
District 6040 Matched Our Club's Donation to the Uganda Fresh Water Project!
We recently learned that our $2,500 donation for a Global Grant to bring fresh water to Uganda that will address diarrhea, water, sanitation, hygiene, and filters was matched by our club!
THANK YOU 6040!

The Farmer's House is looking for Program Volunteers (must be 18 or older) to assist our Farmers in learning new cooking skills and kitchen safety through our Social Enrichment Program.

The class runs from 6-7:30 pm, but we ask for volunteers to arrive at 5:45 pm to assist in setting up.

It's that time of year again! Every Rotarian is asked to donate $100 each year to Rotary International. Please talk with Sandy K. or Joe if you'd like the $100 added to your next invoice. All funds need to be in to Joe in early June to count for this Rotary calendar year.
