Welcome Trent Pearce! 
Last week Mark Ellsworth introduced us to new member Trent Pearce.  Trent is growing in his career as an independent Financial Advisor at Pearce Financial, based in Omaha, NE. A proud alumnus of Creighton University’s Heider College of Business, Trent graduated in 2022 with a Bachelor's degree in Financial Planning and Entrepreneurship.
 
With his upbringing in Omaha and attending Creighton Prep, Trent's roots run deep in the local community. Growing up with his twin sister Kara and older brother Grant, family has always been a cornerstone of Trent's life. 
 
In his free time, Trent enjoys sporting events, golf, frequent travel, and time spent enjoying the outdoors with his two dogs. He is also  a licensed private pilot and enjoys flying on nice days.  He is also an active community volunteer. 
 
In pursuit of further community engagement, Trent is excited to become a proud member of Rotary. Motivated by his deep affection for Omaha and a desire to effect positive change, he looks forward to the many opportunities there are to serve within this club.

Warm Clothing Donations 
Thank you to everyone who dropped their warm clothing donations at Bel Air Clothing for the Salvation Army. The program was such a success that they are going to continue to collect.  Please encourage your friends and family to drop off donations of gently-used coats and other warm clothing.
 
November is Rotary Foundation Month
Please consider a donation to the Intl. Rotary Foundation during the month of November.   Rotary Foundation funds go around the globe to better the lives of people.   Some of this money comes back to our club in the form of District Grants for local Projects.  You can donate HERE.   $100 annually makes you a Paul Harris Sustaining Member.   You can give $10 a month automatically as well to make the annual goal easy.
