Last week re-cap

Last week Kelly Sanford and Jack Hosking served as Greeters. Warren Hill gave the invocation. We had several announcements. Terry Ferguson introduced Lauren Medici who gave us an update on the outreach efforts of Opera Omaha. The RISK bag was at $411 and Dave Laferla found the Howard Vann card and is $205.50 richer!

November is Rotary Foundation Month!

Our goal is for 100% of our members to make a donation to the Rotary Foundation this year. The easiest way is to go to the rotary website at myrotary.org and create an account to give online. A $100 donation makes you a 19-20 Sustaining Member. Cumulative donations of $1000 make you a Paul Harris Fellow.

The Rotary Foundation money we give comes back to us in the form of District and Global grants allowing to us to support local projects like the homeless foot clinic, meal packaging for local food pantries as well as international projects such as the girls' school in Afghanistan and the hospital in Togo.

You can also bring a check made out to the Rotary Foundation to the meeting on Thursday and Jennifer will send it in for you. All first-time donors making a $100 donation will have it matched by the club.

Salvation Army Bell Ringing is coming up on November 16th and December 14th. We will be at the HyVee out at 132nd and Dodge in the Linden Market. We need almost 60 people to fill all of the shifts.
