The Trenton Rotary Club meeting on Thursday, July 18, featured a program on the upcoming Leadership Northwest Music Jam. Presiding over the meeting was Scott Sharp, with Dan Wilford giving the prayer and Michael Ormsby serving as the sergeant at arms.
Program Chairman Kassie Hodge introduced Shane Lynch and Jenna Stevens, who provided details about the Music Jam, scheduled for August 31 at the Black Silo Winery. Now in its fourth year, the event raises funds to support Leadership Northwest Missouri, an organization dedicated to providing training and networking opportunities for leaders across a 19-county area in northwest Missouri. The Music Jam was conceived as a class project by the 2021 leadership class, of which Lynch and Mrs. Stevens were members.
This year’s Music Jam will feature Jordan Rainer, a member of “Team Reba” in this year’s “The Voice” music competition. The opening act will be Makaila Mejia, who is set to be a sophomore at Trenton High School this fall. In addition to the musical performances, food vendors will be available on-site. Lynch highlighted the contributions of local sponsors in funding the concert.
Tickets purchased in advance are priced at $25, with tickets at the door costing $30. Tickets are available through Eventbrite, with a link also accessible via the Leadership Northwest Facebook page.
During the business portion of the meeting, Grundy County Associate Circuit Court Judge Carrie Lamm Clark was inducted as a new club member by President Scott Sharp. Club members were requested to assist at the ticket booth for the North Central Missouri Fair on Friday, August 2, and volunteers were sought for the Thrift Shop on the last two Saturdays in August. Additionally, the Salvation Army’s “Christmas in July” fundraising event at Hy-Vee from July 22-27 was discussed, with members encouraged to participate.
The program for the July 25 meeting will be presented by Kelli Hillerman and members of the Grundy County LEPC, with Kassie Hodge as the program chairman.
