This Rotary year, our Club has been fortunate to host inspiring presentations by the daughters of Rotarians.
· Dr. Molly Disbrow, daughter of Jim Lindquist, gave an insightful talk on small bowel capsule endoscopy.
· Dr. Megan Niederwerder, DVM, executive director of the Swine Health Information Center and daughter of Randy Peterson, shared her expertise on protecting the swine herd and the associated research.
· Dr. Katherine Culbertson, faculty member in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management at UC Berkeley and daughter of President-elect Chris Culbertson, presented on rainforest conservation and restoration efforts in Madagascar.
May was a busy month for our volunteers, with cleanup efforts along the Kaw River and traffic control for the Bill Snyder 5K and Half Marathon.
We’re also excited to welcome two new members who joined in May:
· Chris Bunnell, sponsored by Mike Heylin. Chris is the founder of Aggietown Real Estate & Property Management in Copeland, KS.
· Antonina Broyaka, Extension Assistant Professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics. She was sponsored by Steven Graham.
Vice President Shelley Carver presented the April Cup Big Check to Konza Student Table, recognizing their important work in the community.
