Congratulations and thank you to Warren Whitted III and Jill Thomas for leading our club in a fantastic Rotary year.   Last week we recognized them along with incoming officers Dan Lassek and Stephanie Olson.   We look forward to a great new Rotary year! 

 

Last week Warren Whitted III recognized 2 Rotarians with special awards for their service last Rotary year. Scott Hahn received the Fellowship Award and Patricia Cantu the Service Above Self Award. Thanks to both of them for all they have done for the club!

 

Last week Micki Pane introduced us to new member Brian Osman.  

Brian is currently employed at Mercedes-Benz of Omaha as a Sales & Leasing Consultant. He has worked there for 3 months. Prior to his current career, Brian spent over 22 years in the Active Duty Air Force as an Aerospace mechanic. The Air Force has taken him all over the world and he has visited 42 countries to date. Adding to his experience as a mechanic, he has also been an Air Force Recruiter, a project and program manager, an advisor to the Iraqi Air Force and has held many differnet leadership and management positions throughout his career. The Air Force brought Brian to the Omaha area in 2014 and he has decided to stay and call this community home.

Brian has one son, Andrew, who just graduated from Papillion La-Vista South High School and he is proud that Andrew will be attending Creighton University in the fall on a pre-law tract, as he hopes to someday become a lawyer. He shares a home with his girlfriend, Charlene, and her three daughters and they also co-parent a dog together, Cora.

Brian enjoys reading, watching and playing sports, travelling, but above all that, he enjoys his time with his family and friends. He also looks forward to serving his adopted community through the West Omaha Rotary. Welcome, Brian!
