Lawrence Central Helps with Salvation Army & Christmas Parade

The Lawrence Central Rotary family was busy Saturday 12/4 as we worked double duty on Mass Street downtown. We staffed the Salvation Army Kettle drive in front of Weaver's Department Store for the day and also helped with crowd control for the annual Downtown Lawrence Old-Fashioned Christmas parade. It was a little chilly, but it was great to be out supporting our community and seeing old friends and new.

The Lawrence Journal World did a story about past president Scott Wagner and his family manning the kettle collecting donations for the Salvation Army. Click HERE to see the entire story.

Rotary International & The Gates Foundation in the News.

The work of Rotarians caught the attention of the news program 60 Minutes. In a segment that aired 3 October, a 60 Minutes reporter said the Gates Foundation joined with Rotary International "to bang on very door — to find the last child who hasn't tasted the vaccine" to prevent polio.

Another Great Year at the Tour of Lawrence

We had a wonderful time staffing the kids zone @ the Tour's Sprints and Criterium over 4th of July weekend were greatly appreciated again this year.

We held off on the 4th just until the rain started and managed to get everything put away before the skies broke open.

We also had a booth set up to sell bottles of water on the hot day as well as our swanky new RideLawrence T-shirts.

We still have a few shirts left. EMAIL us if you are interested.
