For many years, Rotarians have collected funds around the holidays from members to support our Mitten Tree project. These funds were used to buy coats, gloves, and other items for Skinner Magnet School. In order to better meet the students' needs, this collection will be done for 3 Fridays starting on August 11th. You can bring cash to a meeting or donate online through the Omaha West Charitable Foundation. CLICK HERE. 

 

These funds will be used to buy coats and other needed items prior to winter.  This year's drive will be called "Stuff the Backpack with Cash" and will replace the 2023 Mitten Tree Drive. 

 

Thanks to all our volunteers for both the Cruisin' Kitchen this summer.  It's almost time for students to return to school!

 

 

 

The need for adults to help students learn/improve their reading at Skinner is significant. We are looking to supplement our Rotary Readers with community members. Can you ask a friend/family member to join us?  The time commitment is small but the impact is huge over a child's lifetime.
