How to Join Us on Zoom
Due to rising virus cases in the community and the Governor and Health Department's requests to not hold in-person gatherings, the Omaha West Rotary Board has decided to hold our meetings on Zoom through the end of 2020.  We hope you can join us every week! 
 
 
The Zoom link will remain the same.  Please plan to join us this Friday at noon for our regular meeting.  Please make sure your name is on your Zoom profile so we can let you in the meeting.
