Who would have guessed that one man’s passion for coffee would lead to one of the most renowned specialty coffee roasters in the nation, located right here in the Kansas City Metro area?
Danny O’Neill, a.k.a. the Bean Baron, fell in love with coffee during his senior year of high school when he spent a year in Costa Rica as an exchange student. On November 22, 1978, Danny picked his first batch of coffee beans and 15 years later he founded The Roasterie in the basement of his Brookside home.
Today, The Roasterie’s blends can be found in espresso bars, coffeehouses, fine restaurants, high-end grocers, offices, etc. Attend this month’s membership luncheon to learn more about Danny’s entrepreneurial experience!
In addition to an insightful program, our newest Chamber members will be presented in our quarterly "Chamber Debut". Each attendee will receive a description from each business that has joined the Leawood Chamber in the past 90 days.

Electronics Recycling Day
Americans dispose of a multitude of used electronic devices. In fact, 2006 alone saw almost three million tons, or 6 billion pounds, discarded. Electronic items such as computers, TVs, and cell phones frequently contain small, but significant amounts of hazardous or toxic substances such as lead, cadmium, arsenic, and beryllium which can leach out into the environment when disposed of improperly.
Unwanted electronics also contain materials of high value such as gold, copper, and silver which is wasted when the user of the device bypasses recycling and sends the item straight to the trash. Over the past four years Overland Park has sponsored 7 recycling events and netted more than 407,000 pounds of unwanted electronics, including more than 2,800 monitors and 2,250 printers.
This November, the cities of Overland Park, Mission Hills, Leawood, and Prairie Village are teaming up to sponsor another event where you can easily recycle electronics, working or non-working, that you no longer need.
The event will be held
Saturday, November 14th
8:00 am to 2:00 pm
In the parking lot of The Church of the Resurrection located just south of 135th Street between Nall and Roe.
