Email to Neil from Tod - I'm doing well! They told me that I was the poster boy for the cardiology intensive care unit - quickest to be moved to the cardiac progressive care unit. I've been up and going, walking the floor since Saturday. Still have a few hoses and wires hooked up but overall I'm feeling pretty good and gaining energy. I'm definitely not going to be able to golf in this year's Rotary outing but maybe I can drive the beer cart. Thank everyone for their kind thoughts and prayers! Visiting Rotarians: Gary Bren, District Governor, Omaha (Downtown) Rotary Club and Larry Johansen, also from Downtown. The Power of One- Governor Bren discussed the flyer that he distributed to our members concerning the District Conference to be held on August 11-12, 2017 in Omaha at Creighton's Harper Center with a Friday evening event at the Omaha Playhouse. If you left your flyer behind or would like to have a copy, contact Ron Mortensen and a copy will be emailed to you. This conference is open to all Rotarians and guest prospective members and the general public, providing of course the fees are paid, except for the proviso that each club can bring ONE prospective member for free. A Tour of Nebraska School for the Deaf - This tour was mentioned without details. Speaker for the Day - Jim Rickets - Neil introduced Jim and mentioned that he spoke to our club about 10 years ago. Jim talked initially about the Rickets Family strategy for purchasing the Chicago Clubs (great timing with a World Series Victory). He also passed out Chicago Cubs lapel pins which will someday become collector's items perhaps. Jim presented a video on and discussed his service as president and chief operations officer of Omaha-based Opportunity Education Foundation The foundation serves 1,688 schools in 11 developing countries in Africa and Asia with curriculum, technology, and educational materials along with teacher development. The Foundation has contributed $60 million of support since 2006 to make quality education accessible to children in the poorest of poor areas so they can improve their standard of living. Lunch Bunch -Jim Tomanek mentioned the June 14th lunch bunch at Shevy's. (Scheduled speaker will be Doug Cunningham on his services as a State Legislator). |
