Blue Springs Rotary held it's annual installation banquet June 25th at the Elks Lodge. David Witt completed his year as President and handed the gavel to Kenny Harris. Support to Kenny and his board was pledged by the membership.
Community groups receiving donations totaling $30,000 from Rotary were Hope House, School of Economics, Community Service League, Hillcrest Ministries, Rainbow Center, YMCA, Boy Scouts, Blue Springs Historical Society and Blue Springs Disc Park. In May Rotary presented $10,000 in scholarships to students from Blue Springs, Blue Springs South, Grain Valley, and Valley View high schools.
Most of the funds are generated annually from our car raffle and auction. Save the date - April 18, 2009 - Rotary will host it's 18th raffle. Lot's of fun.
This year Rotary honored 16 Paul Harris Fellows. Congratulations to Dave Smith for being honored as the 2008 "Rotarian of the Year"!
