Attend the District Conference! 
No Meeting this Week
Attend the District Conference- Registration Closes at Midnight Today! 
 
The District Conference is coming this week on July 8th and 9th at the Hoff Family Arts & Culture Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The Conference promises Friendship, Learning, Fun and a Service Project! To view details and register, click here.
Come and share ideas, get energized, build friendships, have a good time and check out the amazing Hoff Family Arts and Culture Center.
 
For our “Service Above Self” service project, we will be serving a hot breakfast, courtesy of Hot Meals USA, to the homeless of Council Bluffs.  On the registration form you can sign up to volunteer to assist with the project both at the homeless shelter and at the Hoff Family Arts & Culture Center.
 
Children under the age of 18 can attend at no cost and special activities for them are being planned.  When you register them, please indicate in the question section their ages so appropriate activities are available.
 
REMEMBER: Connected to the conference are activities on Thursday, July 7th at Full Fledged Brewery in Council Bluffs.  An afternoon leadership training session that begins at 1 pm and ends at 4 pm and social activities that begin at 5:15 pm.  There is no cost for either of these activities, but please register for one or both so we know how many to plan for. A good time will be had by all.
Changing of the Guard 
Last week we heard reports on the fantastic year Omaha West Rotary had in regards to projects and volunteerism, funds raised, and membership.  Thank you to Michelle Schrage and Dan Lassek for their leadership and all members for your hard work!
 
Michelle passed the gavel (and the scepter) to incoming President Tim Neal.
 
 
Michelle recognized Dan Lassek for his service as Secretary and Mark Ellsworth as Treasurer and Membership Chair (not pictured).
 
Board Member 
Last week Michelle Schrage recognized Rod Anderson for his 4 years of service on the West Omaha Rotary Board of Directors. Not pictured are Lori Benton and Andy Shim who just finished 3-year terms.  Thank you all for your service!
