I'm excited to begin the 2024-25 Manhattan Konza Rotary Club year. Big thanks to Andy Hutchinson for a fantastic 2023-24 year and for a smooth presidential transition.
Please enjoy this first 2024-25 Manhattan Konza Rotary Club weekly bulletin.
I express my gratitude to all of these board members for their dedication to the Konza Rotary Club. For members, if you would like to join one or more of these committees, please contact the director(s) of the committee(s).
You may have noticed that my name is under President, Program Director, and Public Relations Director. John Conley has decided to step down from the role of Program Director, so we are looking for someone to take his place. Daisy More intended to be the Public Relations Director, but has decided not to renew membership with our club. Therefore, we are looking for someone to take her place as Public Relations Director. If either of these roles interests you, please let me know.

CASA is in desperate need of volunteers! 6-10 hours a month is all you need to change a child’s story. Children ages birth to 18 who are victims of child abuse and neglect are waiting for your voice. You don’t need any specific education or work experience to become a CASA, just a heart for youth and a desire to make a difference. Questions or want to sign up?
