Last week John Quinn and Tracy Rowland served as Greeters. Gary Nachman gave the invocation. We had several announcements and presentations. Secretary Nick Jasa recognized February birthdays. Gary Nachman introduced Lynette Farhart who talked about Rebuilding Omaha and their efforts to refurbish homes for elderly, low-income residents. The RISK bag was at $329 and Dick Miller won a free lunch.
Last week Frank Goldberg made a special presentation to Walt and Marilyn Horner from the Rotary Foundation. Walt and Marilyn were recognized as Major Donors level 2 which means their cumulative giving has exceeded $25,000 to the Rotary Foundation. Thank you for your incredible generosity over the years!
to Curt Peters and Bob Perrin who were recognized by Jeff Bakewell for their donations to the Rotary Foundation.
Curt was recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow+3 for his donations of $4000 to the Rotary Foundation. Here's what he had to say, " I give to Rotary because each small amount adds up to doing so many things for so many people. I am continually amazed by how many lives are touched by the good works of Rotary."
Bob was recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow+4 for his donations of $5000 to the Rotary Foundation. Here's what Bob had to say about supporting the Foundation, "I give to Rotary because I can't figure out how to stop the automatic withdrawal from my bank account."
Last week Frank McGree presented Charlene Tierney Citations to Cindy Kinsler and Ralph Williams for their donations of $1000 to the Suburban Rotary Charitable Foundation. The Suburban Rotary Foundation supports our Scholarship program as well as other local and international projects.
