Meeting re-cap 8/18
Last week  Luke McNeese and Jeff Ziemba served as our Greeters. Steve Esch gave the invocation.  Tim Neal was our Cashier and Russ Iwan our Sgt. of Arms.  We had lots of "Good News" and Secretary Matt McKeever handed out lots of fines.  President Nuzhat Mahmood recognized awards from the District Conference and showed our video.   Nuzhat introduced the Police and Firefighter Chief representatives who spoke about the nominees. The nominees then had a few minutes to say a few words and were presented with plaques honoring their service.  Be sure to see all our photos on Facebook.

Supporting Your Passion for Service with a Local Project 
The Rotary Foundation provides matching grants every year for a service project.  For the 2017 - 2018 year, 26 projects were approved for funding.  These include $554 to the Ashland Rotary club, to purchase and install seating / picnic table near the electric car charging station by the City Park.  Also approved are $1,500 for the Beatrice Rotary club to provide materials and assist in building an outdoor classroom for the Beatrice Community Preschool, and $1,500 for the Bellevue Papillion Rotary to support the Magdalene House for women experiencing violence, prostitution and addiction, to maintain the house and purchase items for the residents.  A full list of projects that received grants in our Rotary district (Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa) can be found here.
 
If you have idea for a project that the Omaha West Rotary club can support, please contact us!  Project proposals need to be developed in the fall and early winter, then go through an approval process in the spring.  Funding is finalized in late May for the upcoming year.
Annual Golf Fundraiser -Volunteers needed! 
We still need 4 people out on the greens at noon- please contact Jennifer or Jim Otis if you can help.
