A Night in TUSCANY - Night for Good
Friends of the Rotary Club of West Wichita gathered for an evening of fun, fellowship, and fundraising. Dr. Mike Ludlow was the auctioneer, using his best American-Italian accent while dressed as a Cardinal. Funds benefited the club's charitable works throughout the community.

PURPLE REIGN - Gene Taylor, K-State Athletic Director, was our speaker today, and his appearance could not have been more timely. He spoke about the transfer portal, NIL, K-State sports, and what he could say about Coach Tang. Purple was the color of the day.

FOSTERING YOUNG READERS - Each year, 1st graders at Lawrence and Benton schools receive custom bookshelves, sheets of decals, and several books they can call their own. The bookshelves are built by club members using a design by charter member Bob Goebel. The highlight is the day the club members deliver the bookshelves and see the joy on the students' faces. The exact start date of this project is unknown, so 1989 is a safe bet, as the club began in 1987. Some kids report that their parents still have the bookshelves at home. One of the club's oldest community projects

HOLIDAY TRADITION - In the 1980s, club member the late Dr David Weber, who was on the faculty of the Friends University music department, helped establish an event to kick off the holiday season. A seasonal meal is capped off with a musical performance by the Friends University Concert Choir. Today's choir was directed by Angela Perez, who recounted the time, 20 years ago, she sang for us as a university student. The luncheon concludes with the club president leading the choir in singing Happy Birthday to December celebrants.
