Omaha West Rotary Club Secretary Report for March 9, 2018
This past Friday at Omaha West Rotary, Laura Thomas joined us again from the E-Club of the Carolinas and John Massih joined us from the Trumball, CT Rotary Club. Dan Ferris introduced his guests, Michele Ferris, Jim Pflug and Tara Bowne. Gail Veitzer introduced her husband, Irv. Dr. Mark Manhart introduced his son, Mark Manhart. Deb Neary introduced her guest, Danit Webb and Gretchen Radler introduced Mike Skinner.
For good news, Deb Neary announced her campaign for the Nebraska Board of Education. Martie Cordero shared a newspaper article about Bitcoin but crossed out the names of people in the article and filled in the name "Matt McKeever". Carol Gendler and Kim Kuhle also got Matt fined for Bitcoin articles so Matt fined himself $3.00 and will also add $3.00 of bitcoins to the Club's Bitcoin wallet. Mark Ellsworth told us about his visit to QLI to see Kent Templien. Gretchen Radler paid five dollars to celebrate that her daughter was not traveling to celebrate Spring Break. We tried again, unsucessfully, to get Jamie Summerfelt's VNA video to work but will try again next week. Brett Wawers shared his very good news about his grandchild leaving the NICU. Matt also shared with the Club the photo of the deck Dick Sturgeon is creating out of some of the cards he's drawn for Bucks for Bingel over the past few years.
Matt fined Brett for an article about a Lamp Rynerson road project. Dr. Mark Manhart brought to Matt's attention that Manny Paz's cell phone was ringing, allowing Matt the opportunity to fine Manny. Thanks, Mark! There was no time left for Matt's story about some hay bales but he'll share it next week.
To celebrate the start of Spring Training, Matt defined baseball terms. One such term was "frozen rope" which is a 150 feet-per-second line drive that, after you recover from your injuries, should convince you that you can't play professional baseball. Another was a "foul ball" defined as a ball that is hit out of bounds or, in the alternative, a homerun ball hit by the other team that causes you to loudly curse.
