December Wrapped Up a Great 2025
We enjoyed wrapping up a great 2025 year in December and look forward to a fabulous 2026. We hope everyone in Rotary District 5710 enjoyed Christmas, holidays, and New Year celebrations with their family and friends.
On December 5, Michelle Sink opened our Friday morning meeting. We celebrated the end of 2025 and enjoyed holiday cheer, cake, coffee, and mimosas. Brittny McLaughlin won our ugly Christmas sweater contest.
Our last meeting of 2025 was on December 12. Kevin Bryant opened up our meeting and led us in the Rotary 4-Way Test. John Conley introduced Kenny Titus, Kansas District 18 Senator, who provided a preview of the 2026 Kansas Legislative Session.
Megan Plattner-Junek once again led the Junior League of the Flint Hills Adopt-A-Family program for our club. Several of our members donated gifts and Ben Kohl collected gifts for delivery to families at the Manhattan Arts Center on December 16.
January Cup Collection is still to be determined.
January brings the following speakers to our Friday morning meetings.
January 9: Ned Seaton, General Manager for Manhattan Broadcasting Company & Editor-in-Chief for Manhattan Mercury, will provide a 2025 year in review of the top 10 news stories in the greater Manhattan area.
January 23: Chip Redmond, Assistant Meteorologist and Kansas State University Weather Data Library/Mesonet Manager, will discuss weather trends and what to expect in 2026.
