Wichita's Advanced Learning Library - Coping with Covid -19 (ZOOM)

Originally this meeting was to be a fireside with a tour of the new Advanced Learning Library. But now due to the virus, the tour is off (for now), and instead, Cynthia Berner, Wichita Director of Libraries will join us via ZOOM to explain the key challenges faced by the Wichita Public Libary system during the pandemic. How does the library fulfill its mission and keep the public safe? It is a fascinating story of adaptability applied to a complex organization dedicated to being open to all.

Continuing the legacy of our founder, the Paul Harris Fellow program recognizes individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, of $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.
 
The honor was established in 1957 to show appreciation for contributions that support our Annual Fund, PolioPlus, or an approved Foundation grant.
 
Your generous contributions to The Rotary Foundation are essential to securing and growing Rotary programs throughout the world. We recognize donors to express our gratitude for your commitment, offering individual and club recognition as well as naming opportunities that enable you to honor a friend or family member with a named or endowed gift.
