What might the future of Wichita look like? What do citizens say they would prefer? These questions have been considered for some time by the Greater Wichita Partnership. The group has fleshed out an aspirational vision for Wichita and its environs. Evan Rosell, the Vice President of Projects, will talk about these issues at this month’s meeting of the UCC Men’s Club on June 20, at 11:30 a.m. at the Scotch and Sirloin Restaurant. (Note: Since we have been meeting there I have never seen anyone actually order a scotch and sirloin. Jim R.) Evan is a native of Wichita, earned a B.A. degree from Baylor and a J.D. degree from the School of Law, Washburn University. He is married (Jessie) and has three sons and a daughter. GAMMON SCHOOL SUPPLIES CAMPAIGN PROGRESS – As of today, we are almost 15 percent toward our financial goal of restocking the Gammon School Supply Closet. Thank you to those who have donated! Your gifts will significantly increase availability of high-demand supplies for Gammon classrooms and students, a large majority of whom are from low-income families. Without UCC’s gifts, students either do without supplies, or teachers tap into personal incomes to purchase them. A volunteer will gladly accept your gift at our Fellowship Hall table any Sunday in June. Or you may mail a check noted for this purpose to the church office. We solicit dollars instead of supplies because Gammon can purchase deeply-discounted products for less than any bargains we might find. Based on your generosity in 2018 and the size of the need, our goal is to raise $5,000. DO YOU RECEIVE OUR FRIDAY EMAIL? If not, you may be missing out on some exciting events and announcements at UCC. It is easy to sign-up to receive these emails each Friday afternoon.
