This morning’s rotary program was Paul Wenske with the I’m So Glad Project. Paul shared the story of the rich history of gospel music in Kansas City, centering on Quindaro and Western University. Kansas City played an essential role in shaping Black gospel music nationally and internationally. This story is highlighted in the documentary film I’m So Glad. (https://www.imsogladproject.com/)

The Rotary Women’s Social took place on July 30th and a good time was had by all!

Thanks to all who came out to support our pickleball teams at the Project Cure tournament on Sunday, July 28! We had a great turnout and the cheering and enthusiasm reflected in a great performance by our two teams. Rod "Smashman" Pemberton and daughter Erin were great in their debut performance showing excellent teamwork and determination. Jake "the Snake" Schloegel and Lisa "the Darlin of Dinkin" May were outstanding, reaching the semifinals in the tournament bracket before losing to the ultimate overall winners who were aceing everybody.

It was a wonderful event with drinks flowing, lots of camaraderie, and of course, supporting a great cause. The Leawood Rotary Club showed itself well. Everyone knew we were "in the house!"
