Senior Manager, Mentor Recruitment at Partnership for Kids
Presentation Topic: Lori will share with us how Partnership 4 Kids is breaking the cycle of generational poverty and cultivating Omaha’s future workforce.
Bio: Lori has over 30 years in strategic marketing and communications. After a quick start in the advertising business, she spent ten years in the retirement living industry where most notably she helped launch Principal Senior Living Group and their flagship assisted living product named The Benton House. She spent 12 years in commercial construction helping to take a regional contractor from $250 to $750 million in revenues, pioneered the company's historical database, and was the main contact point for change management when the firm was acquired by JE Dunn Construction. Lori is a boomerang and has been back in Omaha for nearly eight years now. She is currently the Senior Manager of Mentor Recruitment with Partnership 4 Kids, Omaha’s only curriculum-based, college-bound, mentoring organization.
Last week, President Jill Slupe presided the meeting. Laura Iliff gave the Invocation. Michelle Kaufmann & Dwayne Brown served as greeters. Don Otis was Sgt. at Arms. Anne Fuhrman was Cashier. Rich Secor was Chair of the Day and he introduced our speakers, Past President Susan Thomas and The Rotary Foundation Chair Bonnie Gill.
Omaha West Rotary Club Secretary Report for October 26, 2018:
This past Friday, we had several visitors and guests! Phil Schrier, Chuck Sederstrom, and Tom Correll joined us from Omaha North West. And Jim Leslie visited from Suburban. Susan Thomas invited Patty Talbert (one of the artists that painted a little free library). Kim Kuhle invited Blake Martin (who also put in his membership application!). And finally, Mark Manhart invited Jerry Pascale.
We got right down to business and had the 2nd annual Ray Barr Loud Outfit Contest. There were several entrants and many worthy candidates. But by popular vote, the winners were Carl Philo (Best Costume), Tara Browne (Best Suit), and Ric Miller (Best Tie).
Several red badge members were in attendance. We also had our club board members stand to be recognized.
All donations for the following good news were put in the newly named Verde Martin Lock Box. Please let me know if you would like to have the naming rights for future meetings. For good news, Brett Wawers celebrated his 34th wedding anniversary. Martie Cordaro mentioned that the Storm Chasers are having a free Halloween event at the ballpark. The ballpark is also going to have a major construction expansion. And Matt McKeever will be presenting at a national digital currency conference at the Scott Technology Center.
Nick closed with a joke and wished everyone a good weekend.

The Skinner Magnet School Career Day is a very impactful event for the 4th/5th graders that attend. Just a few hours out of your day can make a big difference to these kids. Plus, you will have fun doing it!
The event will take place on November 1st (Thursday) from 1:00 to 3:30 at the Skinner Magnet School (4304 N. 33rd Street). If you haven’t attended this event in the past, below is some general information:
Format: You will be set up at a table where small groups (6-7) of 4th/5th graders will rotate every 5 to 10 minutes. There should be about 125 kids in total.
Attire: Wear the attire that you normally wear to work. This way students can get a feel for what you do and how you need to dress for your job.
Purpose: We ask you to show them the "tools of your trade" so they could relate to how this helps them earn a living, helps them to be of service to other people, research that helps humanity at large, etc. Our goal is to inspire them to do well in school, to understand why making an extra effort in their education is good for their future, and perhaps to believe that “I can do it, too”. Whatever you can do to help achieve that goal for these kids is very much appreciated!
