On August 10, 2017 Rae Thiel and Michele Carlini came to speak to the Andover Rotary Club about Thrive! Butler. Thrive! Butler's mission is to help reduce poverty by building skills and relationships that strengthen families and individuals. Thrive! Butler focuses on helping the generational poverty class with classes and partnerships to help change individuals lives around.
One of our newest members, Dr. Christiane Smith, spoke to the Club today along with founding member Mark Owens. Mark shared his wisdom regarding insurance plans and the different options available to consumers while Dr. Smith introduced her practice to the group.
On Thursday, July 13th Chief of Police Mike Keller spoke to the Club to give an update about the Andover Police Department. Before his presentation, he had the privilege of presenting a check in the amount of $7,299 from the City of Andover. This check was from the involvement the Club had during the Clint Black Summer Concert. The Rotary Club of Andover served beer during the concert. These funds will be used to help support local organizations and projects in the Andover area.
In affiliation with Rotary International, Rotary Club of Andover (RCA) is a group of passionate business professionals, civic leaders, and retirees who coordinate our collective experience, career skills, and enthusiasm to improve our community through meaningful service projects. We are a group of like-minded individuals who are passionate about making a difference in our community and have fun while serving others. We meet on the first and second Thursdays of the month at Butler Community College in Andover, Kansas. We share a delicious buffet lunch together while having an informative program, usually with a guest speaker from the community.
