It was great to hear Dr. Taléa Drummer-Ferrell last Tuesday. What an interesting person and a great speaker!
This week we have the privilege of having our club’s 4-way speech contest. We have three brilliant Kent Roosevelt students who will speak on various topics all adhering to the backdrop of the 4-way test. Then, the winner of that contest along with all the winners from our district’s other clubs, will compete on April 9, 2022. Our club is honored to be hosting the competition at Kent Roosevelt on Saturday, April 9th.
MARK YOUR CALENDAR! April 22 and 23 is the District Meeting. It will be at the Sheraton Suites in Cuyahoga Falls. Since our very own Larry Lohman is District Governor, we want to show every other club in the district how AWESOME we are! (They know Larry is awesome, but we need to make sure they know the rest of the club is just as awesome!) Details will be coming soon. Please plan to be there for as much as you can be!
In sports news…. Kent State Men’s Basketball is 21-9 going into the MAC Tournament. Speaking of tournaments, March Madness is quickly approaching. Don’t forget that you can join the Kent Rotary March Madness Bracket Buster for either the Men’s or Women’s Tournaments for $10. You can pick as many brackets as you’d like. All of the funds go to our club’s literacy projects. On March 15th, Laing Kennedy will give his annual March Madness Prognostications. It’s always fun to hear… even if you’re not a basketball fan.
Remember, we can pay for our lunches and other Kent Rotary costs (like the March Madness brackets) via Venmo. If you don’t have the app on your phone, take a few minutes to go to www.venmo.com. You can learn more about it and download the app. There are no extra charges for you or the club, so it’s a way of making everyone’s life a little easier.
I look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday!
With gratitude,
Kathy
