Rotarians,
WOW!!! Hard to believe it has been 110 years since our Rotary Club was formed. There has been a lot of change during that time and the club continues to evolve. Seven of the Club’s past presidents provided some wonderful club history at our last meeting. Cella Quinn, thank you for agreeing to not only pull the program together but be a part of it as well. Llyod Gnirk, Paul Cohen, Bill Harvey, Jim Murphy, Todd Murphy, and John Mock your insights and reflections were priceless. It was truly a real-time history lesson and I am glad our members got to hear it directly from all of you. As the current Omaha Downtown Rotary President, I can only hope I will be able to provide some great historical information someday! Our club is very lucky to have so many of our past presidents still involved. It is one of the many reasons we continue to thrive and be recognized as one of the best Rotary Clubs in the Omaha community. At the end of my Presidency, I would LOVE to leave the legacy of being able to share someday that every one of our club members donated to the Rotary Foundation. A donation of $25.00 dollars will help to get us there. You, too, can be a part of the club’s history! Here is the link https://my.rotary.org/en/donate
Congratulations and Thank You to the following Paul Harris Fellows (PHF) and Multiple Paul Harris Fellows: Brett Frevert, PHF; Stephen Gerdes, PHF +1; Don McGonigal PHF +2, Vince Miscia, PHF +3; Paul Cohen, PHF +3; Lloyd Gnirk, PHF +6. I also received my Paul Harris Fellow. Our combined total support for The Rotary Foundation is $22,000.00.
As a dedicated Rotarian, the time is now to show up and show out! See you next Wednesday! Aileen Warren |
