WORLD CUP BBQ
 
The Rotary Club of Leawood, Kansas and the Rotary Club of Overland Park, Kansas are hosting a good old-fashioned BBQ at the Home Place Farm in southern Leawood. It is provided at no cost as a “Welcome To KC" gift. Folks, this is the real deal: a historic venue with wood smoked KC BBQ and craft beer. If you are a Rotarian that is visiting Kansas City, a Rotarian from the Kansas City area, or are hosting Rotarian guests during the World Cup, please RSVP and come and join in with the fun.

Space is limited to 100, so please RSVP to Dan Craig (dcraigandco@gmail.com) before June 13th.
 
WHEN: June 15, 2026
12:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

RI Donation update
At the beginning of each Rotary year (July 1) our Club's leadership sets goals for giving to Rotary International.  The goals are set based on the number of members we have and our previous giving levels as a club.  At the beginning of this year, the following goals were set
Giving to the Annual Fund: $11,500
Polio Plus Fund: $1000
The above chart shows where we are to date in our giving.  In order for our club to reach Star Club status and therefor receive extra grant funds from District 5710, at least $100 per capita needs to be donated to the Rotary International Annual Fund.  For this year, that amount would be approximately $11,000.
