PRESIDENT JUDY

Hello, fellow Rotarians! At the Rotary Leadership Institute a few months ago, I met the President of the Omaha Morning Rotary Club, Mary
Donovan. Mary and I reconnected at the District meeting. Since the Omaha Morning Club is about the same size as us and also meets in the morning, Mary and I thought our two clubs could do some joint activities. This possibility will be one our club topic of conversation this week. Everyone, please come with your thoughts and suggestions. See you Thursday!

SPEAKER FOR THURSDAY THE 16TH

Heather Brazil is a social worker with Serene Care Hospice. As life’s final chapter begins, little is more important than comfort, dignity, and quality living. If a family decides that hospice is the best option, a plan of care supports the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Host for Heather is Mike Ough

Meeting Minutes 8/9/18

We were led in prayer and pledge by Dan Palmquist

18 members attended and we had no guests

Treasurer’s report: $4,881.67

Announcements/discussion:

Jim Tomanek gave a short bio of his life to date.He also shared a story about a local family that recently were victims to a house fire.A father and son lost their bicycles among other things.Jim brought a bike that had been donated to give to the father.He then challenged our Rotary Club to raise funds to allow COPE to purchase a new bicycle for the boy.The hat was then passed, and the club members ponied up $230!This amount should sufficiently cover the cost of a new bicycle, as well as new helmets for the fellows.
President Judy shared a Public Service Announcement about a scare her family recently had involving a carbon monoxide leak in a home.She encouraged all to invest in a CM detector and to have a ventilation check-up on their homes.
There was a suggestion that the golf tournament be headed up by a committee in the future, as opposed to one individual.Mike Ough has agreed to lead the committee and enlisted the help of Roger Breed, Dave Rosacker and Julie Seidl.
At the meeting, Julie Seidl stepped up to the call for a President-Elect for next year.The club appreciates Julie’s commitment to serve!
Neil shook down the club for fines.Some were left destitute after this action.

Presentation

Julie introduced her guest, Jeremy Stanislav, Executive Director of Sammy’s Superheroes Foundation. The foundation’s mission is to bring comfort, raise awareness and fund life-saving research for childhood cancer. Jeremy shared the story of the foundation’s origins in 2012, as well as the ongoing mission to help young cancer victims and their families find help and answers during treatment. More about the foundation can be found on their website www.sammyssuperheroes.org as well as on their other social media outlets. (PHOTO OF JEREMY SHOWN BELOW)

Next meeting speaker (8/16): We will have a speaker from a hospice service provider. In two weeks we will look forward to our annual visit from Big Ten referee Tripp Sutter.

Ball Drawing

Dave Rosacker left the meeting early, but managed to have his number called. There were no charges of collusion leveled, but suspicions were raised. Dave will draw for a winning ball at his earliest convenience.
