We will be conducting the Prospect Hill Cemetery Adopt A Plot Spring Clean Up for Saturday,  5/16/20, 8 a.m.-Noon. 

 

Social distancing is totally perfect for this project.  Our plot of land we are responsible for will need all kinds of active outdoor folks who have the desire and willingness to rake, sweep the curb, weed whack tall grass along the long west border fence line, pick up piles of yard waste (trucks are totally needed) to be moved to one prime drop off space, pick up sticks and litter and have fun. 

 

Saturday, May 16th, anytime between 8 a.m.-Noon, grab your rake and broom or come pick up sticks at Prospect Hill Cemetery, 3202 Parker Street for the Adopt-A-Plot project.  Social distancing is ideal for this outdoor yard waste management volunteer gathering at one of the oldest cemeteries in Nebraska.  All Rotary volunteers attending will receive a free pass to attend a future History Walks Nebraska tour valued at $25.  Call Ward Peters at 402-551-6121 for any questions or to sign up to have fun outdoors tidying up a section of the grounds of the cemetery.

Due to not meeting in person and the challenges with committee sign-ups which are normally done at meetings, we are going to leave you on your current committee unless you'd like to serve elsewhere.  To change committees or to sign up to serve, please contact Jennifer.   Please note we have a new Inclusion and Diversity committee for the upcoming Rotary year.   CLICK HERE to read the committee descriptions.  Committees will begin meeting in May and June to plan activities for the upcoming Rotary year.  

Annual dues invoices went out via email last week. If you didn't get one, please let Jennifer know.  Dues are due by June 1st.  We have monthly payment plans and financial assistance available if you have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Please do not leave Suburban Rotary- you are important to our club and our community. Please reach out to Jennifer for confidential assistance. 

 

If you would like to volunteer at the Food Bank for the Heartland, please go to their website by clicking HERE and registering to volunteer. Families can volunteer together. You must provide your own mask and the opportunities allow for social distancing. 

 

If you would like to volunteer for the Salvation Army to distribute meals please contact Erin at the info below:

 

Just because we are not meeting in person, doesn't mean we can't host guests at Suburban Rotary meetings. In fact, now is the perfect time to invite someone to "visit" us at a virtual meeting.  Be sure to send Jennifer the name of your guest in advance so she knows to let them in via the "waiting room" on Zoom.  A visitor can learn about the fantastic service Rotary provides to the community especially during these tough times and the fellowship and friendship that being a Rotarian offers.   Just direct folks to the website to get all of the information to join us.  If they don't want to join via Zoom, encourage your guest to watch our livestream on Facebook and leave a comment for us.  

Please keep Peggy Carrell in your thoughts and prayers. Peggy is home from the hospital recovering from some heart issues. Peggy's address is 6440 S. 91st St. Omaha, NE 68127
