PRESIDENT JUDY
This past week, I entered our club goals on the Rotary web site.  I also entered all of our service projects, both planned and finished.  I would encourage everyone to go to myrotary.org and check it out.  On this site, you can see statistics on our club, the district, and Rotary Global.  Also check out our District website rotarydistrict5650.org.  Here you can find interesting articles, calendar of events, directory of all the members and clubs.  Great information!

MINUTES OF LAST WEEK'S MEETING
WDC Rotary Club
Meeting Minutes 9/27/18
We were led in prayer and pledge by Jim Tomanek
We had 17 members present.  No guests today.
Treasurer’s report:  $5,058.10
Announcements/discussion:
  • A reminder that the All-Metro area Rotary Luncheon meeting will be held on Thursday October 4th at Anthony’s, Cost is $25.  See the note on this page for more information.
  • Elkhorn Public Schools Foundation will have the dedication and ribbon cutting for their beautiful new building on Thursday, October 11th at 5:30.   WDC members are welcome to attend.
  • Jim reminded the club to promote Rotary membership often. If you have any leads for membership, Jim will be glad to help with follow up to close the deal!
  • The club will decide next week on a date that we will, as a club, visit the Omaha Morning Rotary Cub for their Tuesday morning meeting at Happy Hollow CC, in an effort to return the favor from last week when they came in force to our meeting.  We will not have a Thursday meeting on the week that is selected. 
  • Neil collected several fines.
Presentation:  Jim introduced Dr. Nathan Lauenstein.  Dr. Nate is a chiropractor with a practice on Northwest Omaha.  Dr. Nate shared some alarming statistics in regard to the continuing demise of the overall health in the U.S.
One of the main takeaways is the fact that each of us has the opportunity to change our health by eating well, exercising and thinking well.  
If you would like more information, you may visit Dr. Nate’s website:
Next meeting speaker (10/4): Ted Grace- ALTECH Builders; Next weeks meeting is about helping high school kids get involved in the building industry with hands on training. We will have 3 presenters  Cliff Levitan,  Mark Bowder and Ted Grace
