Golden Wheel Award
Congratulations to Liz Shea McCoy on being recognized as Rotary District 5650 Golden Wheel Award nominated by Lincoln East Rotary Club.  
 
Liz is the Project Director for many of Lincoln's public art projects.  She was the fundraiser to get the Pershing Auditorium art work removed and relocated. This art work will eventually be placed at a site at Wyuka Cemetery.  Liz has made a positive difference and impact in the community by raising enough money for various organizations, and especially for getting the Pershing Art work removed.  Liz is generous with her time and talents, she is very public minded and is a hard worker to achieve the goals she sets to get things done in the community.
