The Topeka Rotary Club has a New Website

The Topeka Rotary Club has a new website! The new design was released today and will bring a common theme to the Topeka Rotary Club, unifying the club email, the website and the Rotopeka. The new site will bring many of the exciting features found in the Rotary Internation Website. Also, with the July issue, the Rotopeka will have a new design as well. Look for it in the middle of the month.
