Rotating meeting locations starting THIS WEEK - check below for details.
President's Pen
Hopefully you saw the text message from Mark Sanford asking everyone to register for the 5th Tuesday Social.  Yep, that's THIS Tuesday.  I don't know why, but November just flew by.
 
Anyway, Mark doesn't want to drink alone so use the button below to RSVP for our social.  Consider bringing a co-worker (or a potential member) along and introducing them to the group.
 
For those of you who want to know, Gary finished the Tour de Tucson and raised almost $19,000 for Polio Eradication.  His official race time was 7 hours 30 minutes, but he was sidetracked by a flat tire for 25 minutes.  Anyway, the important part is - he finished! 🏁
 
 
Remember - no meeting next week - we are skipping a week and will hold our annual Holiday Party in on December 14.  See link below for more information, including 🐘🎁.
 
See you Tuesday!

Question of the Week
When does fall end and winter begin?
 
5th Tuesday Social - Nov 30 2021
Location: Gather, 1108 Howard St
Gather is Omaha's first and only vertical farm:  we'll have a tour of the farm along with drinks and appetizers.  Great opportunity to bring a prospective member. Sign up online here.
Holiday Party 2021
Our annual Holiday Party and White elephant gift giving, with a twist. There a few of you (you know who you are!) that have gone over the $25 gift limit for the gift exchange. So for a twist, we are asking for you to also bring food/canned goods for a food drive equal to the amount of your gift!  How can you pass up a special deal like that?  Use the link to the side to register you and any guests you want to bring.
Rotating Meeting Locations

We are very lucky to have a great relationship with Vincenzo's. They have asked us about temporarily moving from the party room to allow them to book larger groups into the restaurant for the holidays.  So we will bring back the tradition of rotating meeting locations for our meetings through the end of 2021.  All meetings will still start at 5:30 PM. The event calendar has been updated so you can easily add the calendar event to your own personal calendar, but here's the schedule:

November 16: Landlock Gallery, 4011 Farnam St - BYOB & food to share

November 30: 5th Tuesday Social: Gather, 1108 Howard St

December 14: Holiday party at Darcy's house. Note- this is an “off Tuesday” meeting 

December 21: No meeting for the holiday

January 4: Back at Vincenzo's

Ride to End Polio 2021
"I think I want to do that" are very powerful words.  Gary Bren said those things to his wife and began a journey 2 years ago that will culminate in riding a bicycle over 100 miles in Tucson Arizona and raising money for polio eradication.  The Ride to End Polio is one of the official non-profits in the El Tour de Tucson, and has raised more than $60 million to aid in Rotary's fight to end polio.  This year's ride will be Saturday, November 20th.  
 
Gary will be live-streaming his ride on Facebook, and you can donate using his link to the Raise for Rotary web page.
 
Gary was our speaker at our November 2 meeting.  At our meeting, a majority of club members voted to support Gary and his ride with a $1000 donation from our club service fund.
