Club Bulletin 2022-10-04 (Sep 30, 2022)

We will be meeting at Vincenzo's on October 4th at 5:30 for a regularly scheduled meeting.

Rotary's Mission:

We provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.

President's Pen

Tuesday we have a regular meeting where we will be joined by Shelby Hinman to discuss one of the fastest growing sports in the nation.

We will also be discussing the final stages of our fundraiser and what needs to be done between now to the 15th. One of the many benefits of being a small group is that we are agile and can adapt to an ever changing environment. We will have a fantastic event.

Before all of that though, we have the Imagine Rotary Tour that kicks off this morning at the Sprit of Nebraska Wilderness Bronze statues at 101 s 16th St at 9:00 followed by several other fun events throughout the day. Please take a look at the schedule on the story below and try to make one..or more.. if you can.

Thank You!

Dennis Ritter

Question of the Week

What is or was your favorite sport to play?

7 Dots - 7 Causes

Interesting thing about this year's Rotary theme logo, those 7 dots represent the 7 causes that build local and international relationships, improve lives, and create a better world. One of those dots represents September's Rotary focus on education.

If you'd like to be reminded of the 7 causes, here's a link: https://www.rotary.org/en/our-causes

Well Done Omaha Night!

Our club received two awards at the District Conference this year. The first one was for hitting our Citation goals. Our club was one of nine that hit their goals out of twenty clubs in our district. The other award was for our level of participation in the Polio Plus Fund contributions. Both of these awards were achieved because of the leadership of Gretchen and the efforts of all of you throughout the year. Congratulations! Lets do it again this year.

Rotary's Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Are we doing all that we can to make sure our club is welcoming to everyone, treating everyone with dignity and respect and allowing all voices to be heard? That's part of Rotary's commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We may be a small club, but that means this is even more important that we are aware of all aspects of what this really means. It's not just about the things we can see, but also about the things we can't see.

This is a leadership training opportunity - and will benefit not only you as a Rotarian, but will benefit the company you work for. For more details continue reading.
