President's Pen

Hi there, I’m Heather Legge, serving as President of the Rotary Club of Omaha.  Today, Monday June 30, marks the official end of our Rotary year.  Last week I joined 15,000 Rotarians in Calgary for the annual international Rotary convention, and I took many things away from that experience. One highlight is that I am consistently proud to be a Rotarian! We are people of action, creating lasting change for all of humanity, and we work TOGETHER, rising above disagreements and keeping an eye on what truly matters, despite differing opinions. How refreshing!  I am also extremely proud to be a part of the Rotary Club of Omaha, which is a vibrant and growing club, and whose members have achieved some incredible things over these past 12 months- TOGETHER.  This week on July 2^nd, we’ll celebrate the 2024-2025 Rotary year in our club with some fun, some awards, some reminders of what’s been achieved, and then I will hand the gavel over to our President Elect Gretchen Harvey.  It’s an exciting time to be a Rotarian!  Thank you to our June Business Sponsor Doug Pederson of HR Systems, and to Kevin Baitey, Camille Metoyer Moten, and the Omaha Playhouse for hosting Business Networking last week. I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday for lunch at the Field Club. Bring a guest!
