  • Order A Wreath and Help Our Community

    Lawrence Central is kicking off our annual fundraiser to support our ongoing work. As in years past, we will be selling wreaths and other holiday decorations from Lynch Creek Farms. Through our partnership with them, Lawrence Central receives money back from every sale to help fund the service projects we undertake.  Some examples of our service activities include:

    We want to continue to do this work, and all you need to do is purchase holiday decorations. You can do this by talking to any of our members, or there’s an even easier way – visit our Lynch Creek fundraising website, peruse what they have, and order yourself!  We’ve even set up an easy link:

    If you’re uncomfortable ordering online, we understand – you can also call Lynch Creek directly toll-free at 1-888-426-0781 and please Lawrence Central Rotary Fundraiser #8614487.

    Lynch Creek is a family business that started in 1980, now transformed from selling a few flowers and vegetables at the local farmers’ market on the weekends to a full-blown year-round business that ships throughout the United States.

    We could go on about how great these wreaths are, but when we were at the Lawrence Rotary Club recently,  Jennifer Berquist stopped us and told us this,

    “I purchased several Lynch Creek items as holiday gifts. Those who received the evergreen gifts were so pleased and impressed with the quality. It is a huge seller for me that the Lawrence Central Rotary Club receives part of the profits. I will definitely place another order this year!” – Jennifer Berquist – Lawrence, KS 

    Lynch Creek Farms have been amazing to work with, and they care about the groups that sell their wreaths and decorations. Here’s a video about the business.

  • 2024 Lawrence Community Bike Ride

    Due to weather we had to delay a day to Sunday – but that didn’t deter the almost 100 people that came out to participate. Lawrence Central Below is a gallery of images from the event courtesy of Susan Patton, who is the Friends of Lawrence Area Trails‘ Communications Coordinator.

    We’ll be back at it the third weekend of July next year!
