Dana Brewer
Medical Loan Closet
Dana Brewer grew up on a farm established by his great grandparents, John and Mary Ellen Brewer, near Norway, America. John was a Civil War veteran. Dana graduated from Norway Grade School, Scandia High School, Kansas State University and Washburn Law School.
 
Dana Brewer has been involved with Rotary since April of 1988, serving as President of the Concordia Club in 1999. He has been an Assistant Governor, as well as Membership Chair and PolioPlus Chair at the District level. Dana served as District Governor of 5680 in 2020-2021, during the Pandemic.  His wife, Tina, is retired from teaching kindergarten and serving as the Director of Concordia’s PreSchool. She was Nationally Certified as an Early Childhood Teacher. 
Dana is now retired after nearly 48 years of practicing law and is living in Wichita, to be near their daughter Marie and husband, Garrett Brummett, who have blessed them with a 2 1/2 year old grandson, Ames Casey Brummett.
 
Dana is a passionate advocate for the elimination of polio worldwide. His parents, Dean and Irma Brewer, were both afflicted with it.  Dana strongly believes in and endeavors to live out, servant leadership. He fully embraces Service above self and feels called to help meet the needs of those he encounters on what remains of his life journey. Dana and Tina are both Paul Harris Fellows and members of Dist. 5680’s PolioPlus Society.

From Rotary International...

Congratulations!
Your club has earned the Club Excellence Award, the most significant honor a Rotary club can receive, for 2024–25. This past year, your club demonstrated a strong commitment to achieving its goals — helping to strengthen Rotary and shape its future.

A big thank-you to Ed Frey, who, as last year’s Club President, submitted the necessary forms on our behalf to make sure the club received this well-deserved recognition!
Save the date: September 30th
We will not have a club meeting on Tuesday, September 30 since it is a "5th Tuesday". Instead, we’ll gather that evening for a special event to commemorate Michael Phipps, with a scholarship presentation in his honor and a tour of the Redler Culinary Institute. More details to follow.
PHF Group Drawing
Cindy Hand conducted the annual drawing for our Paul Harris Fellow Group, and we’re excited to announce that Colin McKenney is this year’s lucky recipient of a Paul Harris Fellow! Congrats Colin — and thank you to those who are participating in the group!
