Zoom Room Hosts Needed

President's Corner
Dear Rotarian Friends,
 
Two Sonic employees died and two others were seriously injured in a Bellevue shooting on November 21. Bryant Morrison, a member of our Rotary family, owns the fast-food restaurant. I can’t imagine the pain Bryant and his family, the victims and their families and friends, and the family of the shooter have experienced. Their lives are permanently changed.
 
While saddened by this horrific event, it was heartwarming to read that Bryant and his family are covering the cost of the victims’ hospital bills and funerals.
 
Bryant, we are sorry for this tragedy, but are so grateful to have you in Suburban Rotary. You are a kind, compassionate small business owner and community leader. We are proud of you.
 
When Sonic reopens, please consider stopping by the restaurant to purchase takeout. It is a small way we can reach out to let the Morrisons know we stand with them.

Need Some Service Above Self?
With covid cases rising in Omaha, we know some folks are trying not to go out as much.  If you need help with grocery pick-up (or other errands), please reach out to Jennifer. We have Rotarians who are willing to help with this.   All will be confidential.   
Tips for Anthony's Servers
As we all know restaurants and restaurant workers have been especially hard-hit by the pandemic.   Even though we are not meeting in-person right now, we still want to provide those hard-working folks with their year-end gifts from us. 
 
Please consider donating the cost of a lunch (or more!) toward this effort.     Also, please consider ordering take- out or purchasing gift cards to help Anthony's through this tough time.

Last Chance to Play the December RISK wheel!
So far the December pot is at $1300 You win half if your name is drawn and you land on the star. The entire wheel is filled with prizes including Rotary tumblers, gift cards, etc. 
 
  RISK stands for (Rotarians Investing in Special Kids) and has always been our drawing at weekly meetings.  Half the proceeds go to the Foundation to support our programs and the other half to the winner.  
Deadline to sign up to play for December is Wednesday, December 2nd.  
 
This year it will have a twist to allow those on Zoom and in the room to play and win.
 
Rules:
 
1.) You must be signed up and paid before the 1st Thursday meeting of the month (11/4 for November)  Pay online at suburbanrotary.org CLICK HERE. 
2.) There will be one spot for half the pot and the others will be covered in a variety of prizes including gift cards and free lunches.
3.) One winner of half the pot per month.  If half the pot is not won in any given month, the RISK pot will continue to grow until it is won. 
4.) Once the pot is won, we will give away the smaller prizes until the contest begins again in the next month.  
 
Have fun and help us do some FUNdraising for our great Suburban Rotary Programs.  
 
 
 
December Yearlings Cancelled
We won't have Yearlings in December, join us January 4th for our next meeting. 
Join us on Zoom 
The Suburban Rotary Board of Directors made a decision to suspend hybrid meetings through the end of 2020 due to community spread of covid.  We will look to resume them in January if the situation improves. The Board will consider this decision at their 12/21 Board meeting.   We hope to see you online every week!
 
 
Please plan to join us every Thursday at noon for our regular meeting.  The meeting will open at 11:45 for greetings.  The meetings will start at 12:05.

Donate to the Rotary Foundation! 
 
Consider making your annual donation to the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.  This money comes back to us in three years in the form of Global and District grants to spend on our projects.   Your donation goes around the world to promote literacy, fight disease, and encourage peace.   Every Rotarian Every Year asks that you consider a gift of at least $100 to the Rotary Foundation. 
 
If you have never given, Suburban Rotary will match your first $100 to the Foundation giving you $200 toward your Paul Harris Fellowship (cumulative giving of $1000).     Rotary Foundation Committee Chair, Jared Bakewell, asked us last week to "Rise To the Occasion" during this difficult year to support people in need around the world.
