THURSDAY SPEAKER - BOYS TOWN

Posted by Neil Kirby on Apr 22, 2019

My speaker for April 25th will be Rod Kempkes. Rod is the Chief Operating Officer at Boys Town and a friend of mine. I'm sure he will have some good information about Boys Town for the club

PRESIDENT JUDY

Posted by Judy Ackland on Apr 29, 2019

Have you registered for the District meeting yet? You don’t want to miss this! As I have mentioned before, Friday evening, attendees will have the option to enjoy a dinner cruise on the Belle of Brownville. Remember, the entire conference is a family event. We’ll all be able to help with a service project and there will be time to explore Nebraska City.

Two more Rotary events coming in July:

July 6^th is Playmakers Camp, a camp for youth. Rotarians are asked to help with this camp as mentors, playing games with the kids and as other support. Click here to view the flyer https://clubrunner.blob.core.windows.net/00000050075/en-ca/files/homepage/playmakers-flyer/Omaha-Flyer--1-_Playmakers.pdf
July 18^th is Rotary night at the Stormchasers game. Like the District Conference, this is a family event. The game starts at 7:05pm. For more information, check this out https://rotarydistrict5650.org/stories/omaha-stormchasers-rotary-night/.

Hope to see everyone on Thursday!

MINUTES OF APRIL 25 MEETING

Posted by Daniel Palmquist on Apr 30, 2019

WDC Rotary Club

Meeting Minutes 4/25/19 (Only 8 months until Christmas)

We were led in prayer and pledge by Roger Bettmann

We had 13 members present – all male! We suspect the ladies of the club were conducting their own private offsite meeting. They were sorely missed!

Treasurer’s report: $2,676.66 was the balance in general fund as of 4/26. The special grant fund is at $725. Almost half way to our goal of $1,500

Announcements/discussion:

Mike Ough stood in at the helm for Judy. The “jokes” were of the usual caliber.
The Rotary Scholarship Golf Outing is June 17^th. All club members are encouraged to purchase $20 of raffle tickets and to supply Mike Ough with at least one item for the raffle/pin prize stash. Hole sponsors also play a major part in the fundraising effort.

Presentation:

Neil introduced our two guests from Boystown, Rod Kemkes, COO and Herb Hames, Director of Development. These gentlemen shared a vast amount of information about Boystown’s history, its present state of affairs, and its plans for the future to the meet the needs of the young people and families which it serves. They gave several examples of how lives have been changed, and even saved, through the efforts and guidance that Boystown has provided.

If you would like more information about Boystown, visit: www.boystown.org

P.S. Herb enjoyed his visit so much that he is coming again next week to speak to the club about the College World Series!

Ball Drawing: It’s suspected that Roger Breed used his x-ray vision to draw the orange ball for the “win”.

Please join us for the 2019 COPE Classic Golf Tournament at Pacific Springs Golf Course!
