Barbara Potts Award Nick & Jennie Swearngin The Barbara Potts Award is given annually to a dedicated individual that has volunteered their time and energies, tirelessly to the cause of helping battered women and children. Nick and Jennie have been long time supporters of Hope House, raising over $120,000 through “Head Shave for Hope House,” which Nick founded. Jennie is co-owner of Parker Swearngin, LLP, an accounting and business consulting firm. Nick is the owner of John’s Barbershop, both located in Lee’s Summit. Nick and Jennie received the Lee’s Summit 2016 Citizens of the Year.Guest Speaker Les Norman retired from playing baseball for the Kansas City Royals in 2000 and has since enjoyed a life as an author, radio program host, Kansas City Royals Analyst, national keynote speaker, husband, and dad. He is the host of the “Breakin’ the Norm Show” on 810 WHB and ESPN 99.3 FM and the “Blue Zone Show” on Spectrum Sports. While he has experienced many successes in his professional career, the same cannot be said for his personal life. He had a traumatic start—for the first 12 years of his life, Les grew up in an abusive home and spent most of his time going to the homes of his relatives, hiding from his alcoholic father. Tonight, Les will share his story of survival— how he escaped an abusive relationship with his father and went on to not only survive, but thrive.
