To All Shoes Cheerleaders in Rotary District 6040 Rotary Clubs –
 
Good morning to the Rotarians in north Missouri.  Please have a look at this Communication #2 regarding our Shoes for Orphan Souls project.
 
Well, we did indeed get that Chiefs Super Bowl win – and we are now seeing the spring season beginning to come upon us.
 
I am grateful to all of you for your efforts working on shoes again this year.  Our 22nd year.
 
I hope and trust that your club President has received the informational/PR packets from Buckner – if you did not, or you need more of those materials, just let me know.
 
As always, I hope and trust that you are engaging your club members, your Interact Clubs, your high schools and churches in your community. 
 
I’m happy to remind you of our goals for this year.
Our club was founded on March 26, 1999. I joined Rotary in 2018 and often heard our founding members talk about the glory days of our club when membership hovered around 50. By mid-2020 we were closer to 30 and one founding member expressed concern that our club was dying. Like many clubs, we’d add a new member only to turn around and lose a  member. We weren’t growing and were certainly smaller than many years ago.
 
I had only been a Rotarian for two years when the concern surfaced. Being president nominee at the time, I was determined it wouldn’t happen on my watch. I really liked our club and, more importantly, the people who made up our amazing club. Wanting us to change our growth trajectory, I began to explore changes we could make to avoid dying.
People of Action
 
Rotary is made up of People of Action.  Rotary clubs throughout northern Missouri have been hard at work on grant-funded projects that improve lives throughout the District. If you want to make a real difference in your community, join your local Rotary club!
