Our club kicked-off the holiday season volunteering at the Johnson County Christmas Bureau Holiday Shop on Tuesday 12/5. This year over 20 club members and friends volunteered their time to help assist shoppers with "shopping" for their items and handing out things like books, toys, groceries, and MUCH more! Each year, the JCCB provides these items for thousands of low-income folks in our Kansas City community.
We also held our annual club holiday party on Tuesday 12/12. This year’s dinner was at Garozzo’s Ristorante in Overland Park. Along with good food and fellowship, we celebrated our club accomplishments in 2023 which included welcoming 5 new club members in 2023, volunteering for many organizations like Ronald McDonald House, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Shawnee Neighbors Helping Neighbors, raising funds and coordinating food drives to help non-profits like The Golden Scoop, Harvesters, Shawnee Community Support Team and MUCH more!
As Club President, I'm proud of the great work our small club does in the Kansas City community and the commitment of each of our members to Rotary's motto Service Above Self! The selflessness of our club members is second-to-none and I'm excited to see the great things we're able to do as we head into 2024! THANK YOU to each of our club members for being amazing Rotarians! - Matt
