(KAIR)--A visit to the local area Wednesday by Rotary International President Ian Riseley.

That included a late afternoon stop in Atchison, and a visit to the Atchison Family YMCA.

Atchison Rotary Club President Chris Taylor told MSC News the local chapter had planned a program to be held in honor of Riseley's visit.

His day also included a visit to Saint Joseph, Missouri, where KQ2-TV reports Risely promoted his mission to help the environment.

In a video message posted to YouTube, Riseley called on Rotary members across the world to plant at least one tree for 2018. “This year, I've called on Rotarians to be involved in planting trees, at least one tree for every Rotarian. Worldwide, 1.2 million trees, but I know we'll plant much more than that.”

During his time in both local communities, Riseley met with local Rotary Club members.

In Atchison, Taylor said the local Rotarians, working under Riseley's “One Rotarian, One Tree” theme, will donate 100 trees to the City of Atchison's tree farm for future growth.

In Saint Joseph, Riseley was presented the key to the city.
