Last week Ron Niederhaus gave the invocation. We had lots of good news and Gretchen handed out some fines. Ric Miller introduced Brian Barks from The Food Bank for the Heartland who talked to us about the unprecedented need for food assistance during the COVID-19 crisis.
This is your last week to donate to our fundraiser for the Food Bank. So far with our District Grant we are at $7500.
We are asking those who are able to consider a donation in any amount to support this effort. We have also received a matching grant from CLICK HERE to donate online. You can also mail a check into the office at 4089 S. 84th St. PMB 317, Omaha, NE 68127

Thank you to Dean Rasmussen of Don and Millie's for supporting our membership contest with gift cards this year. Last week Yolanda challenged our members to take a selfie or video of themselves getting takeout from Don and Millie's to share with the membership.
All 3 of the Rotary-sponsored blood drives completely filled. Thanks to all who volunteered to both organize and donate.
Three drives over 12 days
Of 140 donor opportunities, we had 135 potential donors come to our sites
And 45% of those 135 potential donors were 1st time donors (at least on Red Cross system)
123 units of blood were collected, which by Red Cross’s calculations has the potential to save 369 lives
And a big thank you to Westwood Church, DJ’s Dugout and Charlie’s on the Lake for graciously opening their spaces for the blood drives. Using the restaurants was unique.
As everyone knows restaurants and workers are suffering in this crisis. We encourage you to patronize Champions Club if you will be eating out. They have carryout and delivery available. This is offered to Club members and also to Rotarians. Say you are with Rotary if you call. Also, tip generously! Champions has a new carryout menu available. Please see below. To order call: 402-498-8900
