New Member Table Host: Volunteer Needed

Last week re-cap

Last week Terry Kucera and Rich Rowland served as greeters and Gary Piercy gave our invocation. Judy Sealer hosted our new member table. We had several announcements and two new member introductions. Tom Kerfoot introduced Dr. Richard Azizkhan who talked about the future and growth of Children's Hospital. The RISK bag was at $144 and Jim Kapalis won a free lunch.

Welcome Hannah Wright!

Last week Holly Hollenbeck introduced us to new member Hannah Wright. Hannah was born and raised in the small-town Neligh NE. She grew up the fifth generation of a ranching family, along with her older brother (Issac) and sister (Katie). In 2003, her family bought the local newspapers where she found her love for marketing and communications. After graduating with a Bachelors in Communication Studies at Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln, Hannah ventured over to Omaha to serve a year of service with AmeriCorps VISTA at College Possible.

Today, she is the Marketing Coordinator at Sun Valley Landscaping. Hannah loves collaborating with nonprofits in Omaha to give back to the community as well as volunteering to educate others on life with dwarfism. In her free time, you can find her snuggled up with her cat Bella, a cup of coffee, and a good book. Welcome, Hannah!

Welcome Back Larry McNichols!

Last week Walt Horner reintroduced returning member Larry McNichols. Larry was a member of Suburban Rotary back in 1970-1994. He then helped found the Omaha South club and was the Charter President. He was a member of Omaha North until the club disbanded this year. He has also served as a District Governor (1998-99) and was the 1990 Cadwallader Award Recipient.

Larry holds degrees from Princeton and the Harvard Business School. He retired from advertising in 2001. He also served in the U.S. Army for 30 years and was in combat in the Korean War. He retired in 1982 with many awards and decorations. His last assignment was Secretary of the Army's Office- he retired as a Colonel.

Larry is married to Lannie and they have two children and two grandchildren. His daughter, Eli, is also a Past President of North Rotary and a recent member of Suburban and is a third generation Rotarian. Larry has been very active in a variety of community groups and organizations for his entire life in the area. Welcome, Larry!
