Comfort Station -
Now $82K
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 $361K. The Hall Family Foundation has offered a $40K Topping Grant once
we reach an additional $102K. We recently received an additional Topping Grant of $20K from the Oppenstein Foundation, reducing the challenge goal to $82K. 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.

Call for Historic Rotary Photos
 On
May 20th, as Rotarians were arriving at Union Station for the
Centennial luncheon, Leslie Bitterman carried in an historic Rotary
photo. Her brother, Stuart, had found it in a local antique shop and
bought it for her. Leslie wanted to share the image with her fellow
Rotarians. What a treat!
Do you have photos of Rotarians and Rotary events from past years? On
October 7th, there will be a table designated for the display of
photos to be viewed and enjoyed through the evening. Please bring your
photos with you to the Centennial Dinner and, if possible, bring a
note with the photo identifying the Rotarians and approximate date.
Rotary Centennial Clock

Oct. 7 at noon for the dedication ceremony of the Rotary Centennial
Clock. The Clock, a
project of the Centennial and Downtown Committees, is being dedicated
on the day of our Centennial Dinner.
There is no luncheon meeting that day, so let's
gather in front of the College Basketball Experience and Sprint Center
at 13th and Grand and be among the first to say
"Meet me under the Rotary Clock!"
We will thank our generous sponsors, Bob and
Sally Bibb, UMB Bank and J E Dunn Construction and
our project partners from the City of Kansas City, Missouri
- the Parks and
Recreation Department, the Office of the City Manager and the Public
Works Department.

Thursday - Sept. 16, 2010 by Pete Burgess
President Ford Nelson opened the September 16th
meeting at the Muehlebach with thanks to greeters from the Camp
Enterprise Committee. Carl Bolte accompanied
Harlan Stamper while Harlan
led the club in singing "God Bless America". Jerry Munson
offered the invocation after President Ford led the
pledge.
Hal Lowenstein added a gracious welcome to five
guests and one visiting Rotarian who brought a banner from his club in
Santa Fe, New Mexico. Alan Corbet
gave a "member minute"
including the good news that his two married sons living in St. Joseph
are graduating from college at the same time.
Ford ask our thoughts and prayers for Chuck
Fowler, George Bittner, Ross
Donnell, Ross Marine and
Tony DiPardo who are in sick bay. Chuck Eddy
took the podium to announce the upcoming centennial steak dinner on
Oct. 7 at the Marriot. This centennial dinner is for club members only
whereas the previous one was open to the community. Dave Wardman was
introduced for a thank you to all who helped and supported Skills USA
in June.
Our speaker, George Lombardi, was introduced by Ann Johnson. Mr.
Lombardi began his service in 1972 as a graduate school intern working
with the Missouri Department of corrections. He rose through the
system in jobs including warden. He retired and was appointed to be
Director of Corrections by Governor Nixon in 2008. Mr. Lombardi gave a
brief history covering the evolution of corrections in Missouri where
the system expanded from 3,000 inmates in 1972 to 30,000 inmates and
another 75,000 on probation in 2010. The increased prison population
results from longer sentences, more crime laws, new crimes, mandatory
minimums for violent crimes, and better techniques for law
enforcement. Part of the increase comes from 1970s and 1980s decisions
that transferred population from mental health facilities to
correctional facilities. He complemented JE Dunn on prison
construction and later said his goal was to be able to close one by
reducing the inflow of prisoners. One part of his goal is strongly
tied to preparing inmates for re-entry to society. The other part is
dependant on good quality early childhood education.
Faces of Rotary
Involvement in the community strengthens the common bond Rotarians
share. For 100 years, Club 13 has provided opportunities for
involvement to its members. The Centennial Dinner on October 7th will
celebrate the 100 years with an entertaining and poignant program.
RSVP by September 30th to get your tickets to the centennial
celebration for Club 13 members and their spouses.
You see the faces of people you have enjoyed involvement with every
week when you come to lunch, but how well do you know them? Following

Bowling News by Dick Retrum - Sept. 15,
2010
 You're
familiar with the expression "close but
no cigar" or
"close only counts in horse shoes
and hand grenades".
Well, that is exactly the results of a few high game possibilities
during match play today. There were no
"high-rollers"
(200 plus), but a few close games. We rarely mention names in this
case but their initials are: CB 198, JV 192 and DR 190. Another item
worth mentioning is Dee Reynolds picking up the 8 –10 split. The
difficulty level on a scale of 1 to 10 on picking up that split is a
9. Well done Dee.
Special announcement for bowlers only - The Karl & Kay Roscoe – World Famous Grilled
Brats and Beer Bust Extravaganza will be held on Sept. 29 at their
home immediately following league play. You won't
want to miss this feast!
