RHS Booser Club Sign Update
The RHS Booster Club has been working very hard this year to raise money to have a state of the art LED sign installed on Highway 24 and we need your help! We are currently just over half way to our goal...
The sign will help us communicate school announcements, celebrations, and various events at both Rossville High School as well as Rossville Grade School. The sign will also allow us to communicate community events and emergency announcements that will benefit our entire community.
Our goal is to raise $30,000.00 to cover the cost of the sign and installation. Please take a moment and consider making a donation!
We have created an on-line site to help us reach community members, Rossville students as well as our alumni members. Please go visit —
http://www.gofundme.com/9d7yj8
This will allow you to make a credit card donation as well as track our progress.
If you would rather send a donation by way of a check—please make your check payable to Rossville Booster Club and put LED sign in the memo portion of your check and send it in care of Rossville State Bank, 117 US 24, Rossville, KS, 66533

Win was born December 26, 1934 in Roxbury, NY. He was one of eleven children raised in a foster home in Athens, NY. Win came to Topeka as a member of the U.S. Air Force serving as a Senior Medical Specialist. While stationed at Forbes Air Force Base, he met his angel Leatha C. Smith.

Upon leaving the Air Force, Win worked in management at Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company for 27 years.

This was the first Gold Award ever given by Chrysler in the Topeka market.
Survivors include a son Steven Jansen (Lorna), Fort Mohave, AZ and a daughter Kim Livingston (Chuck) Topeka, KS, four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
A graveside funeral service will be 12:30 P.M. Wednesday, January 21, 2015 at Leavenworth National Cemetery, Leavenworth, KS. Mr. Jansen will lie in state from 4:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M.
