IPDG Mick McKinley presented our club with a 2019-20 Rotary Citation Platinum on October 20th.  The achievement of goals set by the club earns a Rotary Citation.  The Citation with Presidential Distinction - Platinum level is the highest achievement level - only 3 clubs in our District achieved this additional distinction.  As Mick said when presenting this "Once again this proves that your small club can do really big things".

Mark Sanford knows his food!  At the Oct 6th meeting, he showed up with a list of over 60 of his favorite restaurants.  We got through less than 5 of them, so we have asked him back for an encore presentation.  If you want to find a new place to eat, be sure to join us for this meeting.  

Our program on Nov 17th will be Tracy Stanko from the Citizens' Climate Education group to talk about Climate Change on how it is impacting Nebraska and what you can do to help.  [CCE is a non-partisan organization, so the focus is on respectful conversation and citizen cooperation. (Just like Rotary!)]

The 41st US Senior Open Championship will be coming to Omaha Country Club in July 2021.  Colleen Fink will be coming to our club on Dec 1 to talk about tickets, hospitality packages and volunteer opportunities associated with the event.  This was last held in Omaha in 2013 and was a great success, and Omaha Country Club is excited to bring it back for next year.  

Rotary is also about Leadership Development and we have the option to be a part of a unique program for Inclusion training.  The courses are free and are on live online on Thursday nights from October 22nd and go through November 12.  You can join for any or all of them.  Find out more by reading the full story
