Interesting presentation this morning by Christian Cruz. As a K-State graduate student, Christian received a Rotary Global Grant (with the support of our club and the noon club) in 2013 to study Wheat Blast (a plant disease) in Bolivia. You can read more about the research here. And as Patrick Schaub reminded us, Rotary Global grants are made possible by contributions to the Rotary Foundation.

Other highlights:

  • Today was Noda's last meeting with us. It's been great to have her as a member the past couple of years and we wish her (and her family) well on their journey.
  • Debra Rodenbaugh Schaub will be installed tonight as the next District #5710 Governor. You can attend the ceremony during the Jazz Festival at Corporate Woods in Overland Park. Congrats Debra!
  • Next week the gavel passes from current Club President Rich Jankovich to President-Elect Lisa Sisley.
