Last week Blane McCann and Rex Ekwall served as greeters. Magan Smith gave our invocation. We had several announcements and presentations. Secretary Kevin Welsh recognized January birthdays and handed out a couple of fines with Hanging Judge Fritz Stehlik. Judy Sealer introduced Mike Kelly who talked about the history and features of Omaha which are chronicled in his new book. The RISK bag was at $123 and Jack Heidel won a free lunch.
Congratulations to Lee Myers (2 years), Don Goldstein (32 years), and Vicki Kovar (2 years) who were recognized for perfect attendance by Holly Hollenbeck last week.
Congratulations to Jennifer Katz and Gary Nachman who completed their Yearlings requirements and received their blue badges from Yearlings Chair Holly Hollenbeck last week.

Congrats to Rich and Tracy Rowland who are in San Diego for the 2nd year training all of the incoming District Governors. There are 40 trainers from around the world training all 535 District Governors-Elect from around the world. It's awesome to have them representing the "Best Rotary Club in the Universe" on the intl. stage.
On February 20th, Rotarians from Suburban, West, and Southwest Rotary Night Club will be packaging 30-40K meals for local food pantries using a matching grant from District 5650. Please go on our website to sign up for a shift. We strongly encourage you to bring friends and family to this event. Your church group, your Scout troop, your kids' friends. We will need 80 people from 8-9 and 80 people from 930-1030 to package all of these meals. People of all ages are welcome. When signing up kids, please note their ages (kids under 12 will work with their parents). Also, if anyone needs to sit instead of stand, please note that in the comments as well. We will accommodate volunteers of all ages/abilities.
The meals will be picked up at the end of 2nd shift by local food pantries. We can also use 8-10 volunteers on Friday, February 19th to help set up this event. Please let Jennifer know if you'd like to help with that.
A big thank you to Walt Horner/Heavy Duty for volunteering his facility for this event!
