3rd Annual Career Day
Friday March 13, 2009 Downtown Rotary held the 3rd Annual Rotary Career Day at Kaw Area Technical School (KATS).
Again this year all six middle schools in USD 501 sent at least a bus load of youth from 6th, 7th and 8th grade. A number of other classes from other USD 501 schools and individuals attended for a total of about 350 youth attended. A number of Rotary members stopped by or assisted with six to ten Rotary members helped for extended time. KATS students and group of young women from Highland Park also assisted.
“Mike Welch’s vision has become a process that can be repeated annually,” said Fred Gatlin, the club’s organizer for the event. “It is our hope that we have touched many middle school youth and broadened their options”.
This year we had a lesser number of exhibitors but more programs from KATS participated and more active involvement from the exhibitors. We feel comfortable that we are now prepared to expand to more schools. We are considering moving to a later date for better weather, if we can find a date that will allow us reach out to more school districts.
“We appreciate the continuing support of the Rotary Club,” Gatlin said.

New member class helps serve community
Members of the 2007-2008 class of new members of the Topeka Rotary Club took on a class project this year. The goal was to help them get more involved in their club.
That project came to fruition last month when the club held a clothing drive to benefit the Topeka Rescue Mission. Club members brought in dozens of bags of clothing which were loaded onto a truck and taken to the mission.
"The Rotary mission is to help people locally and globally," Kim Gronniger, a new member of the Topeka Rotary Club, told the Topeka Capital-Journal., "This was an opportunity for our new members to participate in a charitable activity that would benefit our community."

Kathleen Williams, member of the Topeka Rotary Club and one of the organizers of the clothing drive, used the club’s new Facebook page to promote the project.
The Editor's Blog
Literacy. It’s something we take for granted. Whether it is reading the morning paper, a book or even this newsletter, reading is something we do everyday. Rotary has taken a positive step by partnering with country music Legend Dolly Parton ‘s Dollywood Foundation’s Imagination Library which provides a book each month to children from birth until aged five. The program is designed to help in underserved areas. Today, the project which began in 1996, serves 47 states and has provided more than 15 million books.
The Topeka Rotary Club has been involved with promoting literacy on a local scale for years. Each week, we donate a book to Avondale East Elementary School in honor of the week’s speaker. We also donate books through other projects like Ross Elementary School.
When we promote literacy, we promote learning. Preschoolers who are at least exposed to books are far more likely to finish high school and go to college. Reading also promotes family interactivity. District Governor Vickie Randel.
This month we also recognize the work we have done for our youth in our community with the 3rd Annual Rotary Career Day at KATS. Twenty community businesses were on hand to help provide career information to sixth, seventh and eighth graders at Topeka 501 schools.
We also helped our community this month through a clothing drive to benefit the Topeka Rescue Mission. I commend the new member class for working together to make a difference in our community. (see p. 3). Hopefully the idea of the new member classes will continue for years to come.
Have a great month,
Greg Hill,
Editor

On the Eve of the Inauguration
I scrapped my first editorial. It just didn’t seem right on the eve of this historical event in our nations history. You see, as I wrap up this issue and send it off to press, I am re-writing my editorial at 9:30 p.m. on January 19, 2009. For the Rotary historians who might be reading this in some sixty years, this is the night before Barack Obama is to be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States.
I can’t tell you how history will look back on this event. But I can tell you how I hope that this amazing sense of optimism we as a country feel on this date will continue well beyond the pomp and circumstance of the Inaugural. I could write how President Obama should look at the Rotary Four Way to help guide him over the next four or eight years, but I think he already has a pretty good grasp on what it means to put service above self.
No, what I have to say is that I believe we as a nation are going to be stronger tomorrow and that what President Obama is going to bring is a sense that we are ALL responsible for making our world better each and every day.
I am proud to be a Rotarian and proud of those things we are doing throughout the world. I sense that in a way, we are all being called to service and to act in unison, bound together by promise and hope of a better world around us. We are called to use our resources and our own unique abilities for the betterment of the community in which we live and to help our fellow human beings in their time of need.
Each of us as Rotarians must do something more than come to a meeting once a week. We must utilize our talents and our unique skills to harness the power of our millions of members. Acting together, we can continue to change the world.
