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.We are now on YouTube!  Our Rotary Youth Camp video is now on YouTube!

Skimmers?
 Why
skimmer hats? If you were a Rotarian in 1910, you would likely be
wearing your fashionable skimmer hat. So when we celebrated 100 Years of
Rotary on May 20th, it was quite fitting to see skimmer hats on the 25+
Rotarians who served as volunteers.
When Volunteer Chair Jerry Clark called for help, it
didn’t take long to fill the volunteer shifts. Volunteers warmly greeted
us as we arrived at Union Station, relieved us of the pounds of canned
goods for the Rotary Youth Camp service project, efficiently checked us
in, and graciously helped us find our way to the seats.
 Thank
you to Chairman Jerry and the team of volunteers who
made the May 20th Centennial Event run so smoothly. (Pictured
left is Mary Lynn Clark and Edie Waters.)
Rummaging for
Rotary Camp
The weather is finally warm and spring cleaning time is here! This year
as you rummage through your basements, attics and garages keep the
Rotary Youth Camp in mind. There will be a Rummage Sale at the Camp on
September 10th and 11th this year to help raise money for the Camp. We
will begin collecting items after August 17th (the last day for summer
campers). You can bring your donations by the Camp or call Laurie, our
Camp Superintendent to arrange for a pick up.
We will also be looking for volunteers to help set up before the event,
"man" the
area during the event and clean up afterwards.
Rotary Night at the Zoo was a hit!
Over 200 Rotarians and their families and guests
enjoyed an evening at the Kansas City Zoo on Thursday, June 10th. The
sun was shining and it was a little warm but the hot dogs were tasty and
the tour of the Zoo was outstanding. Thank you to Randy Wisthoff
for making the annual event possible, to Dick
Retrum and Chuck Eddy for organizing the
event, Chris Boland, Christy Chester
and Jordan Clark for their assistance.

"What's good for the 'Dotte' is good for the region", Unified Government
Mayor Joe Reardon told us last Thursday. Talking about economic
development and quality of life he firmly grasped an holistic approach
saying “the only way a region like KC succeeds is if we work together”.
Mayor Reardon talked about development and continuing progress at the
Kansas Speedway, Village West, including the new Wizards stadium and a
third area campus for Cerner Corporation, KU Medical Center and GM's
decision to invest $136 million in the Fairfax plant. He also
acknowledged a challenge to spread development throughout the entire
community.
In that vein he pointed to the grand opening of the Children’s Campus of
Kansas City in downtown KCKS. He told us the center not only brings jobs
but more importantly it focuses on the education and health of young
children who are critical to the long term success of the community.
Reardon said we need to deal with immediate needs, like job creation,
and still look to the growth of the community. He told us that that
business needs a stable government with a vision and the ability to move
toward that vision. Continuing, he said that citizens are willing to
engage because they believe and trust in the work of their government.
He said he was committed that as jobs are created to guarantee that
every citizen benefits both fiscally and socially.
Earlier in the meeting, those of us with mid-year birthdays enjoyed the
musical "Happy Birthday" greetings led by Bob Lager and
Carl Bolte on the
piano. The duo also skillfully guided us through a rendition of "My
Country ‘tis of Thee". President Matt Meyer called us to order and led
the Pledge of Allegiance. Vivian Gibbens gave our invocation and Jerry
Munson welcomed a dozen guests and five visiting Rotarians, including
District Governor John Gill. Lifelong KC resident Randy Sisk told us
about his business Kitchens by Kleweno in a Member Minute
Phil Kinney stepped to the podium and gave a hearty recommendation for
the Rotary Friendship Exchange. He told us about a special friendship
he’s developed with a British Rotarian that started with a Friendship
Exchange. President Matt reminded us that there’s still a golden
opportunity to be named a Paul Harris Fellow for an $800 contribution
through the month of June. The Foundation Committee has funds to cover
the other $200 for up to 14 Rotarians.
Matt Meyer also recognized the golf tournament committee for a job well
done. More information on the success of the tournament will be give at
an upcoming meeting.
Rotary Auxiliary Past President Carol Retrum told us about the
auxiliary, invited all spouses of members to join and gave two generous
donations to the Rotary Youth Camp. Youth Camp Chairman Chris Boland
accepted the funds and thanked the auxiliary for all they have done to
support and supply the camp. Representing the Entertainment Committee
Chuck Eddy gave details on the upcoming COG party at the Clubhouse on
Baltimore. If you’ve procrastinated it’s too late to get your
reservations but maybe you can still call and throw yourself on the
mercy of the Rotary Office.
I look forward to seeing you next Thursday at a meeting of the greatest
Rotary Club in the world.
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
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.
