Wichita Friends School
May 06, 2025 12:00 PM
With over three decades dedicated to the field of education, the current Head of School at Wichita Friends School (WFS) is in her fourth year of leadership. Her extensive career spans both elementary and college levels, reflecting a deep commitment to nurturing young minds across a spectrum of ages. For her, the role at WFS is more than a profession; it's a calling, a place where she feels divinely guided to fulfill God's work.
A passionate educator at heart, she finds immense joy in teaching and collaborating with students of all ages. Beyond the classroom and administrative duties, she is an avid enthusiast of sports and athletics.
Family plays a central role in her life. Married with five children – four sons and one daughter, with four of them married – she is also the proud "Nana" to eight grandchildren, with the delightful anticipation of four more on the way. These little ones are a source of immense joy, and she cherishes every opportunity to watch them participate in any activity.
Her appreciation for life extends beyond her professional and family life to include a love for many genres of music. However, her favorite way to unwind and recharge is simply being at the lake.

ICT SOS
May 13, 2025 12:00 PM
Jennifer is the founder and executive director of ICT SOS. In 2011, she became aware of the needs in the community regarding the issues of human trafficking and set out to find solutions that partnered the professionals with volunteers and community members. Since that time, the organization has grown to include multiple programs and amazing staff as well as yearly practicum placements. Jennifer is a lifelong Wichitan, lover of tacos, and Mister Rogers and mom to two amazing kids. A note about Rotary's involvement with ICT SOS: Coming out of Rotary District Conference 2022, where Rotarians were educated on the evils of Human Trafficking, Rotarians had a desire to make a difference. This led to Rotarians forming the Rotarians Against Human Trafficking (RAHT) Committee, and ultimately partnering with ICT SOS. The RAHT Committee, chaired by Joey Timmer, includes Rotarians across Wichita Metro Area Clubs and meets monthly at ICT SOS. The RAHT Committee, in partnership with ICT SOS and the ICT SOS Board, have goals that include helping ICT SOS move into a new building (accomplished January 2026), increase awareness, and through volunteering and fundraising help ICT SOS create a safe space for victims and expand services in our Community. ICT SOS will host a Come & Go information meeting on May 20 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. for anyone interested in volunteering or serving on a committee. |

Jun 03, 2025 12:00 PM
Special All-Club Meeting Today at the Westlink Branch Library! Instead of our regular club meeting today, we’ll be gathering for a special all-club meeting at the newly renovated Westlink Branch Library, located at 8515 Bekemeyer. A box lunch will be provided for those who signed up in advance. The Westlink Branch recently reopened after an extensive remodel that doubled its size and added modern community spaces and cutting-edge technology for the community to enjoy. As part of our club’s support for the library, we’ve donated a collection of Wonderbooks. During our visit, we’ll have the opportunity to see them and take a guided tour of the updated facility.

Hal Ottoway is a collector of historical items, including the lowly postcard. He reminds us that the postcard was an important means of communication before telephones and telegraphs.
