Q2 Lunch with Leaders: Learn about Paradise Park President & CEO Jon Ellis Join us for our 2nd quarter Lunch with Leaders program at 11:30 a.m. Friday, June 7 at Paradise Park.

Lunch with Leaders is an opportunity to engage with successful Lee’s Summit community leaders and entrepreneurs and learn valuable insights and information about achieving success and gain clear direction on solving current problems and/or challenges from leaders in the community. Our featured leader for this session is Presdient & CEO of Paradise Park Jon Ellis.

Ellis is well known and loved by many around town. For more than 20 years, he’s been active in Lee’s Summit, generously giving his time and talents, and encouraging others to do the same. Through the years, not only has he been the driving force behind building the Paradise Park business into the region’s premier family destination, he also helped start or strengthen a lot of great organizations, including the Educational Foundation, Visitor’s Council, the Lee’s Summit Health Care Foundation, Lee’s Summit Lacrosse, Rotary and Optimists to name a few.

Through partnerships and collaboration with local businesses, such as The Exit Room and Bodies Race Company, Paradise Park has been able to expand and add new attractions. “My whole focus is how do we continue to have the people of the community have a culture of caring, helping, working together to continue to deliver something together that is better than what we can do individually. Like 1+1=3,” Jon said.

Member News & Events Nineteen talented young people selected for June 1 Got Talent; tickets now available Talented youth from throughout the metro area will be featured in the ninth annual Got Talent, set for 7 p.m. June 1 at the LSHS Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $15 and are available at LSTalent.com, at both Lee’s Summit Hy-Vee stores and at the Lee’s Summit Price Chopper stores.

A total of 19 individuals, including 15 solo acts and two duos, were selected through a rigorous audition process.

The contestants, ranging in age from 10 to 18, include vocalists, instrumental performers, musical theatre acts, dancers and a magician.

Got Talent is open to metro-area youth 18 years and younger with students competing for awards, as well as three scholarships–$1,000, $2,000 and $3,000. The prestigious event is a fundraiser for Lee’s Summit CARES, a nonprofit community coalition focusing on youth substance abuse prevention, parenting and character development.

“After nine years of competition, we continue to be impressed with the caliber of performers at this annual

event,” said Rachel Segobia, Lee’s Summit CARES director and Got Talent chairperson. “It’s an excellent opportunity for area youth to gain experience, support and insight in an affirming environment as they develop their talent.”

In addition to providing funding for a good cause, Got Talent has launched the careers of several of the event’s standout performers. Alumni include Kennedy Newell, recently selected for the Royal Ballet School in London; Elaine Watson, who performed the National Anthem for the Royals in 2018 and 2019; and State Line Drive, an opening act for Tate Stevens in 2016 with a recently released CD. This year’s show includes a kick-off performance by Matt Lewis, a nationally recognized entertainer and executive producer of SimonWill Entertainment. Lewis will present his Vegas-style impersonation of Elvis Presley, which he has performed before audiences throughout the world. To learn more about Got Talent, visit LSTalent.com.
