Last week re-cap

Last week Monique Devillier and Bill Wax served as Greeters. Steve Riekes gave the invocation. We had several announcements and presentations. We had visiting Rotarians from Nepal who happen to be the grandparents of an Interactor at Millard North. President Tom Kerfoot exchanged flags with them. Dave Laferla introduced Congressman Don Bacon who gave us a rundown on things happening in Washington and took questions from the audience. The RISK bag was at $341 and Ranny Perez won a free lunch.

Paul Harris Recognition

Last week Kathryn Schubert recognized C.L. Landen as a Paul Harris +2 ($3000) and Curt Peters as a Paul Harris Fellow+8 ($9000) for their generosity to the International Rotary Foundation. The Rotary Foundation supports projects around the world to promote peace, literacy, health, and disease eradication. Congratulations and thank you!

Service Opportunities

Upcoming service projects:

Highway Clean-Up- Saturday, October 12th- Sign up on our website by going to the calendar then selecting the date

Habitat for Humanity's Rock the Block on Saturday October, 19th 2019

You must sign up by clicking HERE so that you can complete the waiver, etc.

This event is all about bringing communities together and promoting healthy neighborhoods! Months before the event, our staff meets and surveys the existing neighbors in the areas we serve. With your help, we will assist these residents with a variety of tasks, which usually include light repair, clean-up, sanding, painting, staining, and a lot of landscaping. At the end of the day, the neighborhood shines a little brighter, and new relationships are formed.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided, as well as water to drink. Volunteer check-in and breakfast starts at 7:30 AM. We will kickoff at 8:00 AM with a brief introduction to Habitat and the Rock the Block program. Then the music will start pumping and the work begins! When it is all finished, we celebrate the day’s success and show our gratitude by sitting down together for lunch.

Location- TBA- there are 2 shifts 8-11 and 11-2

About Us

Deepest sympathy to the family of Jerry Guinane. Jerry was a long-time former Suburban Rotarian. Condolences may be sent to his wife Jan at 13321 Seward Street 68154

Volunteers are needed to give Roger Groff a ride to Rotary from his home in Bellevue. If you are able to do this once every couple of months, it would mean a lot to his family. Contact Jennifer to volunteer.

Please keep Edna Brooks-Pittman in your thoughts and prayers. She has just finished a round of radiation for breast cancer (and maintained her attendance!). Edna's address is 4744 N. 41st St., Omaha, NE 68111.

Please keep George Miller in your thoughts and prayers as he recovers from a broken vertebra. His address is 5630 S. 126th Circle, Omaha, NE 68137

(If you have something for the About Us section, please let Jennifer know)
