FAMILY OF ROTARY

Our friend Wayne Byrd has travelled off to Mayo Clinic this week with his wife Anne for a second opinion on later-stage bladder cancer. If he's missing in action for a while, drop him a note of cheer, he's got a bit of a fight in front of him. Wayne, prayers, warm thoughts and well wishes are coming your way.

Wayne Byrd, 5354 West 100th Terr, Overland Park 66207.

Thank you for letting us all know how the family is doing.

Who among us has just run into a Yield sign on the road of life? Or No Right of Way, or Quiet Zone, or Uneven Pavement?

If you know of a member whose day needs some brightening, let us know by quietly sending the details to carolwattsks@gmail.com.

Illnesses, family deaths, hospitalizations and so on need a card, flowers, a hot meal or a concerned phone call. Let us know.
