Our program today featured Tom Gray. Tom teaches military applications of satellite and space-based systems at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Ft. Leavenworth. He is a member of the Leavenworth Rotary Club. Tom gave us insight into unmanned military aircraft (drones) and vehicles with his usual riveting presentation.

Club member Moe Cougher turned a simple Classification Speech into the overblown ordeal that we have sadly become accustomed to from him, also.

It was a very entertaining program. Please be our guest at one of our Friday noon meetings soon. We welcome guests and promise to feed you well.

At today's weekly meeting we heard from Dr. Samantha Luchtel, Principal of Rosehill Elementary in Lenexa. Our club has helped this local school with donations of books, sports equipment, money for student achievement incentives, and Thanksgiving pies for the faculty and staff. We are very proud of our adopted "Rosehill Rockets".

Yesterday was "Futures Day" at our weekly meeting. Anna Gast, President, and Aidan Benlon, VP of our club-sponsored Shawnee Mission Northwest H.S. Interact Club did a presentation about their recently completed mission to Ecuador, where they built and distibuted drinking water filters to rural and urban families. The trip was sponsored by Lenexa Rotary and a matching grant from Rotary District 5710.

Also attending the meeting was Noemi Sammarco, our inbound Rotary Youth Exchange student from Saluzzo, Italy. Noemi exchanged club flags with our President, Kevin Day.

What a great day to be a Rotarian. Be our guest at one our fun and informative weekly meetings. We'll buy your lunch!

At this week's meeting, we heard from Bill Severns, author of the book "Keepers of the Sandlot". Bill's book addresses the proper role of parents and coaches of kids participating in amateur sports. Our Sergeant-at-Arms, Fred Spears, introduced a new service project for our club - a member book drive to benefit the "Lead to Read KC" program whose representatives spoke our club a few weeks ago. www.lenexarotary.org
