Heart Beat Happy Hour: Heart Heroes
Omaha Morning Rotary was proud to turn out in force for the Heart Heroes CPR fundraising event, continuing our club's ongoing partnership with this incredible local organization. Rotarians spent the evening brushing up on life-saving CPR skills, connecting over happy hour, and representing our club alongside other community supporters of Heart Heroes' mission.
 
It was a great reminder of why this partnership matters β€” Heart Heroes does vital work supporting children and families affected by congenital heart disease, and events like this one help fund that mission while giving our members practical, potentially life-saving skills. A big thank-you to everyone who came out to support the cause and represent Omaha Morning Rotary!

We also took the opportunity to bid a fond farewell to Sarah Wedebrand as she heads off to Colorado for her next chapter β€” we'll miss her and wish her all the best in this exciting new adventure!

Message From Our President
Lisa Hatterman

Good morning, and welcome to the Omaha Morning Rotary Club.

We are a community of professionals united by one simple belief β€” that we can do more together than apart. Each week we gather not just to share a meal, but to share ideas, build friendships, and take action on behalf of our community here in Omaha.

Service is at the core of everything we do. Whether through local projects or global initiatives, our members show up ready to make a difference. But just as important is the fellowship β€” the relationships built here last a lifetime.

If you're considering joining us, we'd love to have you at our table.

 
Lisa Hatterman
President, 2026-2027
