The Omaha West Rotary club will hold the 8th Annual Golf Fundraiser on Thursday, August 20, 2015 at the Indian Creek Golf Course.  Mark your calendars now, tell your golfing friends to mark their calendar.  The Fundraising committee will be contacting you soon to request your participation.  There will be several different options to participate - golf, multiple sponsorship levels, donate raffle prizes, purchase raffle tickets.  More details will be announced soon.  The committee is looking for 100% member participation!

Steve Levinger, Vocational Service Committee Chair, would like you to schedule a 2-3 minute vocational talk.  Share with members information about your profession, yourself and your family.  Remember, we want to hear from our new members and our new members would like to learn more about the professions of their fellow Rotarians so please schedule a vocational talk.  Contact Vickie Backman to schedule a date for your talk or sign-up at a noon Rotary meeting.
