Comfort Station - The 2009 -
Now $197K
Challenge
 This summer our campers enjoyed our new comfort
station, including state of the art showers, bathroom facilities and
three washers and dryers. The new facility should last us a half-century. The total cost was $503K. We have raised $246K. The Hall Family Foundation has offered a $40K Topping Grant once
we reach an additional $217K. We recently received an additional Topping Grant of $20K from the
Oppenstein Foundation, reducing the challenge goal to $197K. To
date, we have received $119,129.95
leaving us just $77,870.05 to go. We are 84% of the way there. Keep
those checks coming... Thanks to all of those who have already
donated to this cause. Contact our Rotary office for more information.
We can only succeed with your help.

Great Opportunity
– Paul Harris
Fellowships
World understanding
and peace motivate the existence of Rotary, and the Rotary
Foundation is the means which makes this possible. Rotarians
around the world support the Rotary Foundation. Through the
month of June, Club 13 Rotarians have a great opportunity to support
the Rotary Foundation and earn a Paul Harris Fellowship for
$800 rather than the usual $1,000.
The Club13 Foundation Committee has funds to cover the
$200
difference for up to 14
Rotarians. So hurry and take
advantage of this great opportunity. Call Janet at
816.842.2322.
Official Centennial Photo
While many Rotarians took interesting pictures
at the Centennial luncheon, the Official Photo of the Club 13
Centennial is the outstanding group photo taken by Rotarian
Jerry Crabtree. This historic photo will
be seen in publications for decades. For a light hearted comparison,
pictured below is a photo taken in front of Union Station at the
Rotary International Convention in 1917. Jerry also took an
excellent photo of the Club 13 Past Presidents and has made both
photos available to Rotarians. They can be purchased by contacting
Janet in the Rotary office at a cost of $25 for an 8x10, $45 for an
11x14, and $75 for a 16x20. Jerry will generously
donate 25% of the cost of each photo to the Rotary Youth Camp. The
photos are posted on the Club 13 Centennial web site with other
Centennial merchandise www.rotary13.org/centennial

Thursday - June 3, 2010 by Jim Holmberg
You could almost hear the singing,
"everything’s up to date in Kansas
City" last Thursday as Harlan Brownlee told us about the state of the
Arts in the metro. Brownlee, CEO of the Arts Council of Metropolitan
Kansas City told us that excellence in a variety of arts has attracted a
higher level national attention to KC as a destination. The Sprint
Center, which many contemplated as a sports venue, has become a top
concert setting. He pointed to the activity the Cross Roads district has
brought to mid town and the arts future for the West Bottoms
revitalization. Soon we will be attending events at the Kauffman Center
and the Todd Bolender Center for Dance and Creativity.
Brownlee said he’s excited about the collaboration between the Downtown
Council, the KC Area Development Council and the Convention and Visitors
Bureau to promote the arts in the metro. He continued to say the arts
build community, creating a place where people want to live.
He said that although the arts and culture sector here seem to fare
better than in other communities there are challenges to overcome. For
example the Nelson/Atkins recently had to lay off 30% of their staff to
help meet the budget crunch and the downturn in foundation giving is
starting to have an impact. During Q & A Brownlee credited organizations
like Hallmark, the Art Institute, the UMKC Conservatory and the vision
of city leaders in bringing outstanding artistic talent to KC.
Bob Lager and piano man Carl Bolte led us in singing
"God Bless America"
to start the meeting rolling after President Matt Meyer called us to
order. Wes Wingfield gave our invocation and tyro
Dana Reese welcomed seven
guests and a half dozen visiting Rotarians from across the country.
Bob Weir spoke for a Centennial Minute reviewing some of the
"difficult
decisions", such as considering meeting planning around favorite golf
days, that Club 13 Directors have tackled over the years. Our youth
exchange student Bo gave a thank you and farewell as she departs for her
home in Thailand after spending a year with us.
Prez. Matt thanked Centennial Co-Chairs Sally Bibb
and Tom Terry and
their committee for excellent work in putting together the kickoff
luncheon at Union Station. I tried to keep track but my pen gave out as
he listed the approximate three dozen Rotarians that were key to that
successful event.
Past President Chuck Vogt, Tom Van Dyke and
Henry Leonard introduced
three new members Eric Graham, Bob Moffat and
Sally Nelson.
With 45 years of service Dave Norton and Dick McFarland headlined
Rotarians receiving service pins. Gordon Beaham,
Dick Berkley, Ed Hughes
and John Miller were recognized for 40 years as members of Club 13.
Bob Eltonhead received a 35 year service pin and 30 year pins were presented
to Tom Bash, Carl DiCapo, Phil Kinney,
Bill Popplewell, Ron Trachsel and
Tom Davidson. Karl Bublitz, Dave Bywaters,
Woody Davis, Gene Freeman,
Hall Harsh, Jim Holmberg, Bob Hovey and
Yong Kim received 25 year pins.
As summer heats up and the Rotary year draws to a close I look forward
to seeing you at lunch next Thursday. Remember the future of Rotary is
in your hands.
