  • Happy Holidays from the Lawrence Central Rotary

    From all of us at the Lawrence Central Rotary Club, may happiness be yours during his Season of Goodwill and may the New Year bring peace on Earth.

    To celebrate, we were treated to a performance from the Lawrence High Chorale at our annual Holiday lunch in the festive Eldridge Hotel Crystal Ballroom.  Here is one of the selections they presented.

     

  • 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.

  • RI District 5710 Governor John Vandewalle Visits Lawrence Central

    Rotary International District 5710 District Governor John Vandewalle spoke to our club 9/22 to discuss his goals for the district and motivate everyone at the club level to think bigger and bolder.
     
    One great point he made was that as Rotarians we need to attract younger members to help us make the our communities and the world a better place and to be proud of our association with this impressive organization.
     
    Thanks John for the inspiring talk.

  • 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 Carolyn and Jane Staff the bouncy houseweekend 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.
