While many Rotary Club members see recent donations to a school in Zimbabwe as a noble thing to do, the support is actually helping foster better relations between factions that have been at odds in the country for nearly fifteen years. That was the message given by world famous hunter and safari guide Barry Style during his address to the Andover Rotary Club on Thursday.
A number of Wichita area Rotarians were lucky enough to visit the country of Russia over the summer, as part of the club's Open World program. Geri Appel, Dr. Fred Heismeyer, Joyce Heismeyer, Greg Sullivan and DeAnn Sullivan were on hand on January 19th to talk about their experiences.

ANDOVER - Keeping yourself save in both your personal and business activities online was the focus of Thursday's weekly meeting of the Andover Rotary Club. Sam Alva, owner of 3Delta Security talked about not only his current business, but his years of security work during his time in the United States Military.
The Andover Rotary Club held an unusual fourth meeting of the month in July - but for good reason, as District Governor Dean Kennedy was in town to visit. In addition to his meeting with the Rotarians, he also held a short visit with the Board of Directors to visit about the upcoming year.
Kennedy gave a general discussion about Rotary, and said that his goal is for every Rotarian to dream and in turn accomplish our dreams.
