Warren Nelson, owner of Valhalla Bee Farm, told us about bees. There is the Queen Bee, Workers and Drones. Did you know that bees are very important because they are the leading pollinators in the world. We humans depend on pollinators to help produce food crops. These pollinated crops contribute to one-third of the world’s food supply.
We are excited to share the details of the Imagine Rotary Tour in District 5630 and 5650 this fall. We invite you to come on along!
We wish there was time to tour all 68 of the clubs in the two districts. We deeply appreciate the nine clubs that responded and applied to be a Rotary “Hub”
Review the exciting events being hosted by the Hubs (attached). This is a great way to enjoy community tours, service projects and social activities. Select one day or join in for all of the tour.
Come one. Come all. Invite your friends and neighbors. Let’s elevate Rotary and grow the membership. We’ll have some fun and do some good.

Read the information below about the District Governor's Paul Harris Challenge.
Dear Jerry, I so enjoyed being with you and your club this week. I forgot one very important item…my Paul Harris Challenge. If anyone in your club makes a donation of $100 or more to the Rotary Foundation or Polio Plus in the next couple of weeks, their name will go in a drawing. In preparation for my DG year, I saved my Paul Harris points. At the end of the year, I will draw 4 names to receive a Paul Harris award.
I would appreciate it if you would announce this next week and maybe add to your newsletter. Please just have them let you know if they make a donation in the next couple of weeks. We use the Four Way Test:). It is a good time since World Polio Day is October 24 so some may want to give to polio.
Thank you, Jerry, for doing this for me. I am so sorry I did not make this challenge when I was there.
This is a message from Rotary International Foundation:
Because of Lincoln East Rotary Club's support and dedication to Doing Good in the World, together we funded more than 1,190 global grants, 470 district grants, and 225 disaster response grants to help communities thrive in 2021-22. Your generosity helped us raise more than $434 million!
Gifts from donors like us enable our members to make a big impact by helping those who need us most during a time that is as uncertain as any. We're grateful that we can keep strengthening communities by improving people's health, supporting quality education, protecting the environment, and alleviating poverty. Together, we can continue to accomplish great things, like one day ending polio.
These donations make it possible for Rotary members around the world to continue this life-changing work.
If you want to make a donation to the R.I. Foundation at any time contact Minnie Stephens.
Thanks go to the following for "Happy Dollars" on September 21: Duane Tappe, Betty Qurecky, Jerry Christensen, Tom Mortimer, Lyle Schoen, Barry Stelk, Dennis Duckworth, Andrea Ahrens, and John Duling
Please keep our President, Jerry Christensen in your prayers!
