Each year at the last Rotary meeting of the calendar year we provide a bonus to our staff at Biaggi's.  Please consider bringing cash at one of the next two meetings to contribute or you can donate on our website using the Staff Tips button. 

 

Volunteers will be accepting cash donations for our annual Mitten Tree  Adopt-A- School partner, Skinner Magnet School during the 3 meetings in December.  Past collections have gone towards warm clothing, utilities, groceries, and gas.   If you'd like to donate with a card, you can do so online by CLICKING HERE. 

 

 

 

 

Beginning December 8th, Omaha West Rotary will be staffing one of the mobile canteens serving meals to the homeless and near-homeless every Thursday. We need two volunteers each night from 5:45-8. You will serve food out the window at various stops.  You can bring a friend or family member to do this (sign both of you up on the sign-up- there is only room for 2 people).   Kids ages 12 and up can help. CLICK HERE to sign up.  We need to fill December 8th and 22nd this week. 

 

We are collecting gently used coats and warm winter clothing for the Salvation Army in December and January. Bring your items to a Rotary meeting.  

 

Thanks to all Saturday's bell ringers! (More photos on Facebook)

 

 

You can purchase an Omaha West Rotary t-shirt to wear with pride at service events or just around town.  Deadline for order is December 1st. Cost is $15.   You can pay with cash or check at a meeting with Jennifer or pay online by clicking HERE.  

 

A couple of our new members have gotten to gather to organize monthly Happy Hours to give everyone a change to mingle in an informal setting.  Our next Happy Hour is Thursday, December 22nd 4:30-7 at Cunningham's-10904 West Dodge Rd.

 

 

 

 

 

November is Rotary Foundation Month.  Your gifts to the Rotary Foundation do good both here locally and around the world.  We ask every Rotarian Every Year to consider a donation to the Rotary Foundation.  Any amount is appreciated.  A $100 donation will make you a sustaining member.  When you reach a $1000 cumulative, you will be recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow. Every $1000 level is recognized as a Paul Harris +1, +2 etc.

 

If you donate a $100 or more this year, thanks to a generous club member (Carol Gendler) you will be matched in points toward your next Paul Harris. To take advantage of this match, you need to forward your receipt or let Bonnie Gendler know so she can process the match for you.  bmgjazz@gmail.com 

 

The easiest way to donate is online here: https://my.rotary.org/en/donate  The Rotary Foundation committee will also have forms available at meetings and you can donate with a check.  

 

Donating to Gary Bren's polio ride also counts toward your Paul Harris and can get you a match. The link for Gary's page is HERE. 

 

 Any objection to this proposal must be in writing to the Board of Directors at boardofdirectors@omahawestrotary.org within one week.
