Resident asks Wilmore council to endorse local 'quanis club' civic group
Summary
Tom Bunch asked the Wilmore council for its endorsement to form a local 'quanis club' (a nonpolitical volunteer civic group modeled after the Lexington Bluegrass club), offered to recruit members and asked residents to suggest local needs for the group's projects.
Tom Bunch, a Lexington resident who said he has longtime ties to the Wilmore area, proposed creating a local "quanis club" — a nonpolitical civic service organization — and asked the Wilmore council for its endorsement to begin organizing in the town.
Bunch described the group's mission as volunteerism focused on local needs and gave examples from Lexington-area chapters: school food programs, playground funding and shoe donations. "I'm coming before this council to ask for your endorsement your invitation to bring a club A Kanas Club of Wilmore to this community," he said, urging interested residents to take brochures and share ideas.
Why it matters: Bunch said the club would be civic and nonpolitical and that volunteers could tackle unmet local needs. He invited council endorsement, membership and suggestions for community projects; the council did not take formal action at the meeting.
What happens next: Bunch left brochures and contact information for residents who want to join or propose projects; the council did not vote on endorsement during the meeting.
