POLIO ERADICATION – We are asking you to donate $32 during the month your birthday is recognized. The District has set $32 per person as a giving goal for PolioPlus. Your donation will be given to The Rotary Foundation in your name for PolioPlus. Rotary has led the private sector in the global effort to rid the world of polio for over 30 years. The PolioPlus program helps Rotary fund operational costs, such as transportation, vaccine delivery, social mobilization, and training of health workers, and support surveillance activities. Your donation can help "End Polio Now."
Thank you to the following members that have donated to PolioPlus for their birthday. Contact the office if you have given to PolioPlus and do not see your name.
Please consider sharing some of your time with our Youth Exchange student, Yumi Yamakawa. Activities can be as singificant as a weekend event or trip or as simple as inviting her to lunch or a movie.
Other ideas: A Creighton or UNO sporting event; museum tour; a play or event at the Holland or Orpheum; include her in a hobby event or activity; or include her in a family event.
Contact Jeff Ziemba jziemba@smithhayes.com or Kendall Scheer kscheer@fnni.com if you would like to invite Yumi to share some time with you and your family.
Order forms for polo and long sleeve button shirts are available at the club meetings. Both shirts will have the Rotary wheel logo and the club name embroidered on the shirt. The polo shirt cost is $50 and the long sleeve button shirt cost is $72. You may select the shirt color and size on the order forms. Payment needs to be received when placing your order.
Bob Lovgren has donated to the Rotary Foundation recognizing several of his family members as Paul Harris Fellows. His family joined us at Omaha West Rotary on Friday, March 20th, to receive their recognition certificates, pins and medallions. Bob's family members receiving Paul Harris Fellow recognition included Todd, Bob's son; and grandchildren - Tyson, Colton, Barrett, and Keagan Lovgren; and a Paul Harris Fellow in memory of Tatum Faith Lovgren.
Pictured in the photo from left to right is Todd and Drue Lovgren, Drue is holding infant daughter Keagan; Susan Thomas, President; Linda and Bob Lovgren. The three boys are Tyson, Colton, and Barrett Lovgren.
