The holidays are here! As the calendar year winds down, I want to share some important dates for our club. The club is volunteering at the Johnson County Christmas Bureau's Holiday shop on 12/4 from 6 pm to 9 pm. The location of this year's shop is the old Best Buy building at 117th and Strang Line Road in Olathe. We have a few more openings for those you haven't signed up and spouses/friends are welcome! We will have a club meeting the following morning. (12/5). December 5th is also the final day to bring in your gifts for the Salvation Army angels. Then on 12/7 at 6 pm, we will have our annual Christmas party at the Ruo's home. Please bring children's books ($25 or more in value) to the party. These will be donated to the KCK Head Start which is desperately short of books. With Christmas and New Year's Days falling on Wednesdays, our meeting schedule will be impacted. We will NOT have club meetings on Thursday, 12/26/19 and on Thursday 1/2/20.

The club has renewed our contract with the Holiday Inn at 87th for our weekly meetings. We have been having some wonderful speakers at these meetings. The month of January, however, has not been scheduled yet. So, if you have an idea for a guest speaker, please contact Becky Johnston as soon as possible. Also, we will need to schedule what the club is going to do for our volunteer initiative during the 1st quarter of 2020. Finally, as you head to those holiday parties, remember that growing our membership is a top priority. Do not hesitate to share Rotary with others and invite guests to one of our meetings.

As you can see, we Rotarians will be busy as elves in the next few weeks so drink your eggnog and get your sleep!
