No Elvis has not resurfaced, but one of his devotees Joseph Hall who has a show in Branson, will be coming to town the weekend of June 21 to help host a series of events, all of the proceeds of which will go to Rotary International’s End Polio Now fund.
Ten local rotary clubs (including Lawrence Central) have joined together to put this event together.
