FAMILY OF ROTARY
We are very sad to announce the sudden death of 35+-year-member BOB BERGESON.  Bob came in the house from mowing the lawn on Tuesday, fell to the floor and was never revived.   We remember Bob especially for the years he faithfully marshalled the troops and spent his own sweat equity on the Star Spangled Spectacular.  Bob was ever-present and always helpful, and usually accompanied by his wife Winky.  
The service for Bob will be Monday, July 15th at 3 pm, in the chapel of Church of the Resurrection. A small reception will follow, and flowers from the club have been ordered. For those wishing to extend a personal remembrance, the home address is:  11605 Woodward, Overland Park KS  66210.
 
DID YOU KNOW...
 
That 35-year Gene Troehler has resigned from the club?  We will miss you, Gene!  (But his email is genetroehler@gmail.com if you want to tell him yourself!)
That David Lindstrom has decided to run for retiring Pat Robert's US Senate seat? ("Please don't throw me in that briar patch!")
That Joe Sopcich has announced he will be retiring from JCCC Presidency at the end of the year?  (You're turnng 65, Joe? Gosh!)
That members Wayne Byrd and Mick Lerner are getting favorable health reports in their cancer battles? (We love good news!)
 
Sometimes life as we know it throws up a challenge, a downturn, or a new leaf.  We have cards, balloons, flowers, to celebrate or support in lots of ways, and thank you for passing along the news.
