Chamber Supports Continuation of Parks Sales Tax The Lee’s Summit Chamber board of directors overwhelmingly endorsed the continuation of the Lee’s Summit Parks and Recreation quarter-cent sales tax. Voters heading to the polls in August will be asked to vote on the renewal, and the Chamber encourages voters to support this important initiative.

The Lee’s Summit Parks and Recreation department summarized projects to include eight community priorities and 33 goals developed by using research and data collected, analyzing trends and implementing best practices from the industry. Revenues raised will go towards park development, additional practice space, park improvements, an outdoor adventure park, splash pad, wave pool, ice rink and more.

Without this current investment in Lee’s Summit Parks, there would be no Legacy Park Community Center, Gamber Community Center, Summit Waves Aquatic Park or the 39 athletic fields for baseball, football, softball and soccer. There would be no Legacy Park Amphitheater, splash pad at Miller J. Fields Park or Early Childhood Development Center. The projects made possible by the quarter-cent sales tax have greatly benefited the community, and the list could continue with the approval of the sales tax continuation.

“The umbrella of Lee’s Summit Parks and Recreation is vast. I think it is safe to say a good majority of our residents have enjoyed some feature in our community that falls under that umbrella,” said Vicky Cundiff, chair of the Chamber board of directors. “The variety of features available to us for enjoyment and healthy lifestyles is numerous, and continues to increase by the support we provide our Parks department. If you’re unaware of what is available to you through our Parks system, don’t hesitate to explore more information and get outdoors to experience all Lee’s Summit has to offer.”

Lee’s Summit residents took the first step in passing the sales tax back in 1996 and, with your support, can continue to make Lee’s Summit a great place to live, work, play and raise a family by voting for the extension of the quarter-cent sales tax.

Member Events & News Lee’s Summit Mayor Announces 2016 Citizens of the Year Lee’s Summit Mayor Randy Rhoads announced his selection of longtime entrepreneurs Jonathan “Nick” and Jennifer “Jennie” Swearngin as the recipients of both the 2016 Truman Heartland Community Foundation Citizen of the Year and the Missouri Municipal League Civic Leadership Award because of their long-time support of the community, in particular Hope House.

Because of their hard work and the generosity and support of the community over the years, the events have raised almost $121,000 for Hope House.

For the last nine years, the Swearngins have been raising money for the organization providing victims of domestic violence with shelter and comprehensive services.

“I am so proud of Nick and Jennie and all they are doing.

Some of you may not know this, but Nick and Jennie have been entrepreneurs in Lee’s Summit for many years.

Yet, with all the stresses and strains involved in operating a small business, they have found time to give back to their community in Lee’s Summit and abroad. They are indicative of the charitable, engaged and communityminded people I am extremely pleased to say call Lee’s Summit home. That’s why I am honored to recognize Nick and Jennie as Lee’s Summit’s Citizens of the Year,” said Lee’s Summit Mayor Randy Rhoads.

Nick founded the “Head Shave for Hope House” event that included a silent auction of donated items and a live auction for the opportunity to shave someone’s head.

Over the years, he has pulled stunts including coloring his hair bright colors for a week in advance of the events to raise more money. Jennie’s roles with the events have included assistance setting up and operating the events.

Their support and care for others extends far beyond our Lee’s Summit community and this country. Earlier this year, they along with their son Blake traveled to Romania to work with an orphanage. While at the orphanage they set up and operated a carnival for the children of the city of Campulung and children from a nearby village.

Member Events & News continued Saint Luke’s Convenient Care Clinic to Open in Lee’s Summit Lee’s Summit residents soon will have a convenient, new option for treatment when they are feeling under the weather and don’t have access to a primary care physician.

Saint Luke’s Health System will open a Saint Luke’s Convenient Care clinic inside the Hy-Vee store located at 310 SW Ward Road in September 2016. The clinic will be the sixth Saint Luke’s Convenient Care clinic location, and one of 12 clinics planned for the Kansas City area.

“Saint Luke’s has a long history of providing the Kansas City community with the best care close to home whenever possible,” said Robert Bonney, senior vice president, nonacute services and business development for Saint Luke’s Health System. “Hy-Vee shares Saint Luke’s commitment to excellence and to our community, which makes them a natural fit when providing high-quality health care for people close to where they live and work.”

Saint Luke’s Convenient Care clinic will be staffed by advanced nurse practitioners and offer treatment

immediately with no appointment for conditions like sore throats, sinus infections, colds and flu, minor cuts and sprains, as well as vaccinations and boosters. The clinic also will offer new patients access for referrals to primary care and specialist physicians throughout Saint Luke’s Health System.

“Hy-Vee’s top priority is taking care of its customers. With the new clinic, our customers will not only have access to our in-store dietitians and pharmacists, but now they will be able to seek health, wellness and preventive care services all in one stop,” said Erin Bailey, Hy-Vee’s assistant vice president of health and wellness. “We are excited to work with Saint Luke’s Health System so that we can continue to help our customers lead healthier, happier lives.”

Saint Luke’s Convenient Care clinics located in Hy-Vee grocery stores will be open extended hours on weekdays and weekends, and offer the benefit of patient connectivity through electronic medical records with physicians and specialists throughout Saint Luke’s Health System.

Aspen Contracting Introduces Free Roof Program Aspen Contracting announces the opening of nominations for Covers 4 Others, a program designed to provide a free roof to a deserving person or family within the Kansas City area.
