We had many guests attend the meeting and we had drawings for prizes signed by Johnny Rodgers for the guests and for those who brought guests.

Rotary Leadership Institute provides an opportunity for Rotary Club Members to discover Rotary. This is not "position-specific training". It is a facilitated, activity-based program that allows all participants to share experiences and solve problems. We all work together:
Participants are:
- Long-term members and New Members
- Young and Old
- Some Members have Club Positions, some do not
- District Leaders will be at the sessions
The Participants will:
- Spend some time learning about Rotary
- Use and enhance your leadership skills
- Make new friends and build partnerships
- Get more out of Rotary
Recent testimonial: I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at RLI. I have met many interesting people and, with each session, leave with a new enthusiasm for Rotary. I believe that everyone should attend RLI.
Please contact Jennifer if you are interested in this opportunity.

MIKE KEMP
Mike Kemp was elevated to the position of Associate Athletic Director for Omaha Athletics in May 2009. He has primary oversight of UNO hockey and men's and women's soccer as well as facilities and game management.
During his 12-year tenure as head coach, Kemp guided UNO hockey from a fledgling independent to an established program with one of the best followings in college hockey. UNO has ranked among the nation’s college hockey elite in attendance from the start and boasts college hockey’s largest booster club. He concluded his career with a record of 201-220-53.
As the head coach of a start-up program, Kemp built a team that was a model of consistency in the always-tough Central Collegiate Hockey Association. In only 10 years of play, UNO had an average finish of sixth place in the league and earned CCHA home playoff games in eight of those ten years. Kemp also placed players on one of the CCHA all-league teams in eight of ten years. Both of those accomplishments are surpassed only by the University of Michigan.
Kemp may be best remembered for his commitment to community service. Under his guidance, the UNO hockey team was widely recognized for its contributions to the quality of life in greater Omaha. The highlight came during the 2008-09 season when the team held its “Leap for a Cure” fundraiser which raised $44,000 for brain cancer research at the Estabrook Cancer Center.
Kemp coached five All-Americans while at Omaha and had a total of twelve all-CCHA players in ten years.
Off the ice, Kemp is an avid runner and has competed in the Boston Marathon.
Kemp and his wife, Julie, have two daughters; Emily and Sarah.
