RI President Ian Riseley is asking a question to every Rotarian: "Did you participate in my tree planting challenge?" Our Ecology Chair, Manny Paz answered "yes" on your behalf, and put every West Omaha Rotarian in good graces with President Riseley. Everything is arranged for you to plant a tree on April 28th. All you need to do is show up at Minne Lusa Elementary School, 2728 Ida Street. More information here.

Dear fellow Rotarians,
At the beginning of this Rotary year, I issued a challenge: for every Rotary club to plant one tree for each Rotary member. My goal in doing so was twofold. The first goal was obvious: trees are good for us. They absorb carbon and release oxygen, they support biodiversity, they improve our soil, our climate, and our moods. We need more of them, and planting trees is a wonderful project for all Rotary clubs to do together. Read the rest of the letter by clicking here.
