Last week Ken Jansen and Barb Rebrovich served as Greeters. Michael McCormick gave the invocation. We had several announcements and presentations.

A membership contest to be "King of the Hill" was announced. More details will be shared in future weeks. The RISK bag was at $323 and Dick Caulk won a free lunch.
Last week David Kutler introduced us to new member Candi Jacobs. A California native, Candi graduated from Empire Business College where she studied Travel and Tourism in Business. In 2015 she received the Toyota Excellence award for her work as a Customer Relations Manage
Candi joined Sadoff Metal and electronic recycling company in January of this year where she is an Electronics Scrap Buyer. Sadoff electronic recycling helps to keep toxic material out of landfills while also keeping your sensitive data safe. When asked why she is in the scrap business Candi answers with “I don’t see it so much as being in the scrap business, as saving the planet business.
Prior to that, she worked for the Sarpy County Chamber of Commerce where she was the Membership Engagement Manager.r.
When Candi’s not working hard to keep electronics waste out of landfills, she enjoys baking, reading, karaoke, watching movies, and being out and about wherever there are people.
If you ask her why she moved from California, she’ll answer that she fell in love with Nebraska. “This place is beautiful. The people are kind, the cost of living and quality of life are wonderful.”
Candi lives in Papillion with her son Richard, daughter Sabrina, and their two rescue dogs, Ferb & Chloe. Welcome, Candi!

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.
Please keep Michelle Lupardus (wife of Rotarian Dan) in your thoughts and prayers as she recovers from hospitalization and an infection. Her address is 12220 Signal Drive, Omaha, NE 68137.
