PDG Roxy Orr presented our club with the Rotary International Presidential Citation for Rotary Year 2020-2021, under the leadership of John Sullivan. The Presidential Citation is a coveted recognition at the international level. Omaha Rotary exceeded the RI's expectations and met all the goals during the 2020-2021 Rotary year in the areas of membership growth and engagement, service to the community, and support to the RI Foundation. IPP John Sullivan thanked club members for all their hard work and dedication as Rotarians. DG Carol Horner was on hand to congratulate IPP John Sullivan and the club.
