PRESIDENT JUDY

Hello, Rotarians!

I am getting excited for the District Conference coming up at the end of July (July 26-27) at the Lied Lodge in Nebraska City.  The event is going to include lots of activities and will, for the most part, be very family friendly.  The Nebraska City Rotary Club is working on getting discounts for the attendees.  The Lied Lodge is offering discounted rates ($149 per night) from Thursday through Saturday—come early and stay late to enjoy the many Nebraska City attractions.  The Holiday Inn Express and Suites is also offering discounted room rates ($119 per night).  The Lied Lodge is an amazing facility.  Arbor Lodge is visible from some of the rooms where we will be having activities.  Remember, if you register by March 31st, the registration fee for both days is $100; $140 after March 31st.  https://rotarydistrict5650.org/Stories/rotary-district-5650-conference-shape-the-future

Member Moment:  Roger Bettmann shared his story with the club.   His brother’s experience with eating crabapples and climbing a tree will be burned in our collective memories forever.
Announcements/discussion:
  • Jim will be finding out if there are any students from Elkhorn or DC West that are planning to attend The Rotary Youth Leadership conference and the club will sponsor if necessary.
  • Tod said that the scholarship applications will be getting distributed via email for review soon and actually were emailed while I am writing this.
  • The Rotary Scholarship Golf Outing is June 17th.  Hole sponsors are a major part in the fundraising effort. It’s never too early to solicit.   
Presentation: 
Jim introduced SSG Johnathon Weinmaster and MSG Maren Stewart.  They offered a very informative look into the Army National Guard and explained the important role that the Guard plays here in Nebraska.
