Rotary Club Update July 18, 2019
- Last week (11 July) we sent out prayers to Andy Bowen and his family and to Darrel Brensing and Mrs. Brensing.
- Steven Graham Bradley introduced Judy Davis, Director of Crisis Center. She spoke about the services they provide, the types of incidents they see, and the number of incidents in our area. She highlighted the interaction with the RCPD and the learning that has taken place. She discussed the need and the initial planning for a new facility, capable of handling requirements for the future. She also discussed the intersections between her work and the emerging problems of bullying and human trafficking.
- Also, as a reminder, each of you has received an email about the formation of a District Human Trafficking Committee. We will likely have to add this committee. We have interest from Linda Morse but will need others to help. The District committee will meet either bi-monthly or quarterly with the first meeting taking place in July in Topeka. If you are interested in being involved with this committee please contact Linda Morse from our club or Patti Mellard at patti@keystaffing.com.
- Robbin Cole is hosting 20 Mandela fellows at her home. All Rotarians were invited.
- For the meeting on 18 July, we will discuss the organization and staffing of our committee structure and provide an overview of the 11 July Board meeting.
