Salvation Army Project is Finished
As of this afternoon, the Salvation Army Project is finished! We (members of the Rotary Club and the Kiwanis Club) worked from Thursday to Thursday building a cabinet and priming/painting. Thank you for participating to better the Salvation Army building for their ministry there. It is a super improvement to the building.
 
[1] a 10 foot commercial stainless steel serving table
[2] a new double pane front window
[3] a large cabinet to hold groceries and other supplies, (lead by Ron Kloppenburg's Kiwanis crew)
[4] and prepping-priming-painting the 40x40 foot multipurpose room.
 
Barbara Wry, Marshall Miller, and I will take care of some details that remain, like some ceiling tiles and plug plates. Sue Klamm is going to do the four window treatments, and possibly vertical blinds.
 
Thanks to all.
 
 
Dr. Gonzalo Bruce, ESU International Students
Dr. Golzalo Bruce, an Emporia State University professor charged with recruiting and hosting 
international students at ESU, brought two international students with him to our Rotary Club. Neucasha Greene from The Bahamas, and Chie Zenno, whose home is in Japan, both are ESU students who visited our Rotary Club. ESU's goal is to offer a way for ESU students from other countries a way to immerse themselves in a friendly community and in the American culture. It is the experience that they have in the U.S. and in Emporia that matter to international students. They all came many miles from their homes to ESU. Dr. Bruce helps them to make local connections, and in so doing make everyone feel a part of a greater global community. 
 
The general public is invited to most all of their many activities. When asked by international students come to ESU, the Neucasha and Chie 
both confirmed that ESU offers safety, a small campus, a business school with a great accreditation, and an affordable cost of living.
