At the 1927 Rotary Convention in Ostend, Belgium, San Antonio Rotarian Harry H. Rogers said “Let the slogan this year be Make Rotary Effective. Where it exists, make its influence felt. Where it does not exist, if possible, extend it. Let courtesy abound, widen acquaintance, intensify friendships, and put the program over in every club.”

Like all civic organizations The Rotary Club thrives on volunteers efforts.  However, not all volunteer opportunities give you the chance to step back in time to a place that only exists in history books.  “Where it exists, make its influence felt.”  Please join us in our effort to make the Bonner Springs Rotary’s influence felt within our community.  The Speakeasy event will benefit for Vaughn-Trent as well as the Allegro Choirs of Kansas City, both organizations are part of the greater influence within Bonner Springs.

“Let courtesy abound, widen acquaintance, intensify friendships.” Working together for the greater good has been proven to bring friends closer to one another.  You will be working with those you know, those you’ve seen walking down the street or maybe even those you’ve never seen before.  Volunteering at the Speakeasy is a great way to widen acquaintances.
