It was a chilly Sunday fall morning and the riders were out in force.
Known as one of the best rides in the Midwest, the Octoginta is always a great end-of-season ride. The Lawrence Bicycle Club prides itself in going the extra mile to provide the best SAGs and support along with the gorgeous fall foliage that combined for a great ride.
Here’s some pix of the SAG stopped our members staffed that morning. Thanks to Qualseths, Huesemanns, and the Brenners!
Several members from Lawrence Central welcomed our incoming Rotary President Ron Burton while joining the 300+ attendees of the Zone Institute (Zone is the level above the district and the Institute is a gathering of regional Rotarian leaders) from Mexico to Canada.
It was a great event to see a broader vision of worldwide Rotary and what Mr. Burton has planned for his term in office.
The members of Lawrence Central Rotary invite you to an hour of
fellowship and information about Rotary International.
We are proud of our local impact and international contribution.
Let us tell you about our club.

Earlier this summer Rotarian Penny Dash who is past president and current secretary from the Cypress California Rotary Club was in town visiting friends and decided to stop in and visit Lawrence Central. She told us about her club and what they do and we did the traditional trading of rotary banners. There was one snafu – she didn't have any of hers. Well last week we were happy when we opened the mail bag and sure enough Penny had sent one long.
Right now there are three gardens at West Junior High, Sunset Hill Elementary, and Hillcrest Elementary. The entire project is designed to help change the way our school children interact with food. With help from The Merc Coop, LiveWell Lawrence, the Elizabeth Shultze Environmental Fund, Self Assists Foundation, and countless business and community partners, they have established beautiful gardens on the grounds of three Lawrence Public Schools. Students at West Junior High are employed by The Merc to tend the Gardens over the summer as a job training and leadership development program. The produce is sold at a student-run farmers market and eaten in the schools' cafeterias. To learn more about the visit http://www.themerc.coop/gardens.cfm or email Nancy at cmef@themerc.coop
