I’m looking forward to another great Friday morning at Konza Rotary!
This week, our own Mark Bachamp will be joining us to share an inside look at some of the exciting projects taking shape across Manhattan. Mark is a fellow Konza Rotarian, a respected community leader, and a Business Development Specialist with Olsson.
Mark was also recently honored as the recipient of the 2026 Lyle Butler Distinguished Leadership Award from the Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce—well-deserved recognition of his leadership and commitment to our community.
There’s a lot happening in Manhattan, and this will be a great opportunity to hear more about where our community is headed and some of the projects helping shape its future.
I hope to see you Friday morning!
