KANSAS CITY, MO--(Marketwire - July 2, 2008) - A man known among Kansas Citians for his
integrity and humanitarianism was named the 98th president of Rotary Club 13, the Downtown Kansas
City Rotary Club. Myron Sildon, chairman of Sildon Law Group, intends to
establish a new network of young professionals to reignite the club's
membership, while providing continued opportunities and retention for
existing members. His inauguration was held June 26, 2008, at the Downtown
Public Library.
Sildon's overarching vision will be to create a foundation of young persons
who will be the life blood of their organization and have an impact on
Kansas City causes for future business leaders. "It's imperative that
young men and women become leaders in this community," said Sildon. "The
earlier that they can get started in service, the more impactful they will
be in this community and within their career."
This program will include a new outreach session called "Profiles in
Leadership" and will feature prominent leaders who will share their stories
among community members. Upcoming speakers include Terry Dunn of JE Dunn,
former Mayor Richard Berkley and John Bluford, CEO of Truman Medical
Center.
Sildon will also emphasize the Rotary's international service objectives of
global humanitarian causes, including helping under-developed countries
find clean water sources, continuing to eradicate polio in the four
countries where it still exists and starting a program locally to reduce
infant mortality.
Rotary 13 has approximately 400 members and focuses on international
service and community involvement. Rotary's keystone project is the Rotary
Youth Camp that provides a free camping experience to more than 3,000
economically and physically disadvantaged children each year.
