Dan received his Ph.D. from Northwestern University (1991) then worked at Fermi National Lab on the discovery of the top quark. He joined the University of Nebraska in 1996, and has served as the Department of Physics and Astronomy chair since 2007. he continues to search for new, theoretically predicted particles at CERN (in Geneva) - where the 2012 announcement of the Higgs boson was made.
Leigh Esau is a product of the foster care system. Having spent the first 7 years of her life in foster care she knew early in her life she wanted to give back to those who would follow. The Foster CARE Closet was founded in March of 2006 after founders Patrick and Leigh Esau recognized the need for quality clothing in the foster care system. Though several placements at their home, they came to the realization that almost all of the children came to their doorstep with only the clothes they were wearing - and nothing else.
I recently reread parts of Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense”. One of the activities I enjoy most is reading the political history of the revolutionary period of our country. I must confess that the history of the military action does not capture my interest nearly as much as the political debate.
The Lincoln East Rotary Club Foundation presented the Bryan Foundation a check in the amount of $2,400 to purchase treats for the nurses on both Bryan’s campuses in appreciation for their dedication to helping those who were ill with COVID-19, as well as, other illnesses these past two years. Many of the Lincoln East Rotarians have written “thank you” notes to be distributed by the Foundation to these nurses. After the treats have been purchased, several of the Lincoln East Rotary Club members will be helping to fill those bags that will be distributed to the different Nurses’ breakrooms.

District 5650 is helping Ukraine by using the remaining District Designated Funds of $15,000 as a match for donations to The Rotary Foundation Disaster Fund. This needs to be done by April 15th. Here is what you do:
1. Go to https://my.rotary.org/en/disaster-response-fund. You will need to use your login to My Rotary and make a donation so that we will be able to track what amount our District has given. You will also receive credit towards your Paul Harris Fellow and Every Rotarian Every Yera if you are logged in.
2. OR you can mail a check made out to The Rotary Foundation and put Ukraine in the memo line. Mail the check to Bill Harvey at 17503 V Street, Omaha, NE 68135. You will still receive credit towards PHF and EREY.
3. AND please share the link with your networks, family, friends, neighbors, social media platforms...you do not need to be a Rotarian to give to this fund. It is the safest and most effective use of their donation dollars! 100% of the funds given for this will go directly to relief efforts.
Thanks go to the following for "Happy Dollars" on March 16: Duane Tappe, Jerry Christensen, Wayne Casper, Dick Cumming, Lyle Schoen, Dave Caudy, Greg Schansse, Paul Horton, Betty Ourecky, Minnie Stephens, Gordon Bair, Barry Stelk, and Dave Brolhorst
Keep all our Rotarians in your prayers and thoughts as we continue fight with variants from the COVID-19.
Even with the vaccine, we continue to keep all of our teachers, school officials, and students, EMT's and first responders, hospital doctors and nurses, supermarket clerks, restaurant workers laid off or furloughed and waiting for unemployment, all those who are currently unemployed, human service organizations who still are open to serve those poor/homeless/hungry, funeral home workers, churches, airline employees, hotel employees, gas station and convenience store workers.
If you know of any of our members you would like for us to mention who are ill or need prayer, please let Greg know and we will put it in the SPOKE.
