Membership Prize Drawing on Friday
Membership Prize Drawing
 
Omaha West Rotarian Gary Bren, and his wife Gretchen, have agreed to host a gourmet dinner for the winners of a prize drawing to be held at the Friday Rotary meeting on July 14th. Thank you Gary & Gretchen! 
 
The following are qualified and entered into the drawing:
  1. Rotarians who sponsored a new member into our club during the 2022-23 Rotary year.
  2. Members who joined our club from July 1, 2022 - June 30, 2023.
 
We will draw for two sponsors and two new members. Each prize winner may ask their spouse or a significant other to join them at the dinner.  Attached to this email are sample menus from a couple of recent dinners Gary and Gretchen hosted.  The meals are paired with wines from their cellar and if someone in the group isn’t a wine drinker, they also do beer pairings as well.
 
The Member Recruitment Committee extends a big “thank you” to all our members who brought guests to our meetings this past year. We cannot have a new member before we first have a guest at one of our Rotary meetings. Our club’s culture of “sharing our Rotary experience” by inviting guests to our meetings is a big reason why “Omaha West is the BEST!”
