Last week Kevin Welsh introduced us to new member Joshua Vollertsen. Joshua earned his Bachelor's Degree in Finance from the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business.  After college, he moved to New York where he worked in finance and met his wife, Christine.  Joshsua worked for Millennium Partners, focused on risk management and trading.  He transitioned to Credit Suisse where he developed successful trading and investment strategies. 

 

Following his career on Wall Street, Joshua relocated his family to Omaha in 2013.  He and his wife have two boys, Luke and Wyatt. Joshua is the Owner and Operator of two Coolgreens restaurants.     Welcome, Joshua! 

Thank you to everyone who helped at the BBQ on Friday!

 

Last week our Yearling of the Year, Theresa Kelly gave the invocation.   It made a impression on all of us.  Think about who you can invite to Rotary and give the gift of service, friendship, and fun.

 

Theresa's invocation: 

 

Our Rotary Foundation Committee (the charitable arm of Rotary Intl) will be bringing you a "Rotary Foundation Minute" each week this fall.

The Rotary Foundation is the charitable arm of Rotary. The Foundation
transforms donations into service projects.

The mission of the Foundation is to enable Rotary members to advance
world understanding, goodwill, and peace through improvement of
health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.

The Foundation was started in 1917 by RI President Arch Klumph. The
initial contribution was $26.50. Since that time the Foundation has
sponsored 4.5 billion dollars worth of projects and programs.

Charity Navigator has given the RF a 4 star rating, its highest rating, for 9
straight years. Only 1% of the rated charities have achieved this. 92%
of the funds contributed go to awards and operations.
