Meeting re-cap 4/19/18

Last week about 180 people attended a luncheon in honor of this year's inspiring scholarship recipients. Congratulations to all! Thank you to Dan Schnoes and the Scholarship Committee for all their hard work. Thank you to Christian Kloster and the Fundraising Committee for working to make this and other projects possible. Please click here to see Mike Kelly's mention in the Omaha World Herald.

If you have not yet made a donation to our annual fundraiser, please consider doing so this week. EVERYTHING we do in regards to scholarships and projects both local and international is funded by our local Foundation. We need your support!

Local Suburban Charitable Foundation 2018 Fundraiser

Our 2018 fundraiser is off to a strong start having raised 37K of our 40K goal. We are still at half of our goal for participation, so make a donation today! The local Suburban Rotary Charitable Foundation supports 50K of scholarships each year to students with special needs in addition to funding projects such as military support, Crestridge school, food and shoes to the homeless, and projects around the world such as the schools in Afghanistan and Nicaragua.

Our hope is that every single member will "Stand Up For Rotary" with a donation in any amount. Those who donate or pledge $300 annually will be recognized as President's Scholarship Circle Members. THIS IS THE LAST WEEK OF OUR FUNDRAISER- PLEASE CONSIDER A DONATION OF ANY SIZE. You can donate at a meeting or online by clicking HERE.
