ROTARY CLUB OF SALINA

Happy Spring, Rotarians!
Can you believe we are just two months away from the end of our program year? This has been a very fast-moving year for me!
Thank you to Jeni Adams for our programs this month. It is always good to get an update on what is happening downtown. Thank you, Alan, for setting up the program with Gene Taylor. I thought his comments about NIL and revenue sharing were very interesting.
On April 17th, we had the opportunity to assist a High School student from Minneapolis in painting a playground map with the Rotary logo at the elementary school. Thank you to Amanda Otto for coordinating this effort for our club! Also, thank you to Amanda, Jessica Martin, and John Hendrick for helping with the project!
On Monday, April 28th, the board met for two hours to start talking about the future of the club and what we would like the club to be known for in several different ways. It was a good conversation with many ideas shared. We continue to work to provide something for all of our members to participate in, whether it’s social, service, or just eating lunch on Mondays, we want everyone actively participating.
Lastly, we will recognize 6 High School students representing Salina Central, South, and Ell-Saline with college scholarships on May 5th. Thank you to the Scholarship Committee for working on this very important project. Thank you to Aaron Morrison, Daran Neuschafer, and new committee members Katie Zey, Dan McFadden, and Terry Burger. In case you aren’t aware, Aaron and Daran have asked to step down from their service on the Scholarship Committee. I am not exactly sure how many years they have been serving in this capacity, at least since 2018, when I joined the club. They have done a great job taking care of this for us and I want to ensure we give them a proper thank you!
THANK YOU, AARON & DARAN
Don’t forget to wear your Rotary shirt on Mondays!
