We will not have our regular club meeting. Instead, join us at one or both schools for our Annual Bookshelf Deliveries!
11:45 a.m. - Lawrence Elementary School Library. Our club members (who made reservations) will have lunch then we will hand out books & bookshelves to the first graders.
1:15 p.m. - Benton Elementary - hand out books and bookshelves to the first graders.
Arrive a few minutes early to go through the school office and get a Visitor's Pass. Have your driver's license ready, in case it's needed!
Here is the take away from the meeting and how you can get involved:

Geraniums (and More!)
It's Old Town Rotary geranium ordering time, and now we have more to choose from!
Take advantage of our geranium and plant sale to help add some color to your garden, your family or friends' gardens. This year, we have added some additional flowering plants and greenery. They also make great gifts, and delivery is in plenty of time for Mother's Day!
We have a nice selection of 4.5" pots ($6) and 11" hanging baskets ($25) to fit your floral needs. Scroll through the form to see all of our options. You order now and pay when you pick up your order.
Orders can be placed until noon Wednesday, March 1st. Flowers will be ready for pick up Friday, April 28, or Saturday, April 29. Pick up will be at SPT Architecture, 312 S Broadway Ave, Wichita, KS 67202.
Proceeds from this year's plant sales will help fund our club's local community projects and other philanthropic efforts.
