Life in Today's world
Apr. 06, 2021
Warren will be talking about Today's world with a Proverbs look. He will start off his talk with some comments that will lead us (hopefully) into a discussion about what role we might play that could lead us towards more civil relationships. Rotarians might well be able to soften the divide we are currently experiencing. No one really knows what that role might be. Warren has Minister for 39 years, 21 in Ulysses, KS where he has been president of Ulysses Rotary for the last 2 years. He is a frequent speaker outside of his duties as a pastor and has written and published 2 books on Proverbs - Roaring Lions, Cracking Rocks and other Gems from Proverbs and Charging Grizzlies, Rude Neighbors and more Gems from Proverbs. Warren is also involved in other Civic Involvement. He is on the Board of Grant County Junior Leadership, has been involved as a Soccer coach (with his wife), involved with the Ulysses Ministerial Alliance, on the PEAR Board, on the Silver Maple Camp Board and Served 8 years on Library Board. His interests include Reading & writing, Hunting, Community Youth Sports, and Youth & Family Camps. His family is special to him, he is married to Cheryl and has 3 grown children and 3 grandchildren. Warren has also been an Rotary area governor for the old District 5690. |

Mental Health
Sep. 07, 2021
I met Gena Richardson through Rotary youth exchange. She is a licenensed psychotherapist and is active in Rotary promoting mental health awareness through their "Don't bottle it up" campaign. She has actively participated in many beauty pageants and holds several titles. She has found that these pageants off her a platform that further her cause while allowing her to be a mentor for goodness to younger future leaders. Gena has a "glow" about her. While she has striking beauty - the more you get to know her the more you realize her true gift is what's on the inside and her drive for making the world a better place is the gift she gives to her peers. Gena is a southern girl - she will mesmerize you with her southern accent. She is fun to be around and you will appreciate her humorous wit.
