Family of Rotary Outing 
The Family of Rotary Committee has been offered the opportunity to get discounted tickets for the Corteo Cirque de Soleil event coming to CHI Nov. 30-Dec.3. This show is an amazing circus with a carnival atmosphere. Cirque de Soleil shows feature very talented performers that can do amazing acrobatics. 
In order to receive a discount we need to purchase 10 tickets or more. The representative from Corteo recommends that we do this soon.
Please let Kathy Wawers ASAP if you would be interested. We are hoping to get tickets for the Nov. 30 show. 
With the discount, we could purchase tickets in the $61-$77 range. The seats should be in the lower tier of CHI.
It is a family friendly show. Google Corteo, Cirque de Soleil for more details.
About Us
Please keep Dick Sturgeon's wife, Jeanie, in your thoughts and prayers.  She suffered a stroke last week and is recovering in the ICU. At this time, they cannot have any visitors or items delivered to the hospital but ask for your prayers of support.  
 
Ecology Committee Project 
The West Omaha Rotary Ecology Committee is planning on refurbishing the hike/bike trail sign at Newport Landing, near Bennington (Highway 36 between 168th and 180th, sign located on top of the dam) on Sunday, September 17, 2023, at 9:30 AM.  We will sand both sides of the sign, stain it, clean up the plexiglass covering of the bike trail maps, and hang a new map.  We are soliciting volunteers. Come ready to work; if you have a battery-powered sander, please bring it. Questions can be directed to Charles Shapiro, 402 649 5071 or chas613@hotmail.com.  These signs were originally installed by Rotarians along with trail markers as a metro-wide project many years ago.
