I am pleased to report that this morning, your Downtown Rotary board of directors approved member Gary Bren’s plan to move ahead with an Honor Roll project in 2021 – representing 93 years of continuous service to the young men and women of Omaha by our club!
The board committed to support the effort with $5,000 in funds from our Service Fund and the unanimous support of the board. Gary and his team, which includes current board member Viv Ewing and past treasurer Jim Stewart among others, will be expediting and sharing their plans with the club in the coming weeks, and seeking your support.
I know that Gary, who is also a past-president of the club, current District Treasurer and current Omaha Downtown Rotary Foundation president, has looked to the Four-Way Test to guide his decision-making, and his commitment to Honor Roll comes with personal sacrifice. I know you will rally to the cause. Gary has agreed to lead a “pivot to the future” effort this year, and we will be seeking to confirm future leadership in the coming months and confirm our direction for 2021-2022 by June 30, 2021 to provide a clear path for the next fiscal year.
We’ll continue our practice of meeting at least once per month in hybrid fashion as we minimize our risk during the pandemic. This coming week, we’ll welcome the AIM Institute’s Tony Veland in a ZOOM ONLY format. See you then!

Lindy Hoyer has been in touch with the Salvation Army in regards to their winter watch food distribution program. She has signed our club up to serve on 4 nights beginning in December through February. Each shift will require up to 3 club members to sign up, two will be serving food and one will be the jump (person who organizes crowd outside and hands out clothing). At this time no drivers are needed. The shifts start at 5:45 p.m. at the SA Western Divisional Headquarters, 10755 Burt Street. If new to volunteering for SA, need to arrive a bit early to fill out paperwork. The shifts each night are from 5:45-8 p.m. Volunteers must bring and wear a mask, wear warm clothes.
Our district along with Heartland Rotary Leadership Institute offers this training in Nebraska.
