This year’s conference theme, Fusion, brought together different people, ideas, and experiences to create something stronger than any one piece alone.
More than 20 Suburban Rotarians joined fellow Rotarians from across District 5650 for a weekend filled with:
- Inspiration
- Friendship
- Learning
- Service
- Celebration
The weekend’s highlights included John Ockenfels' Flight to End Polio presentation, the Women in Rotary panel, sessions on membership and club growth, Rotary programs and leadership opportunities, networking events, and the Fusion 5650 Awards Dinner.
Another highlight was “Behind the Scenes of an Indie Movie,” a fun presentation by producer and Academy Award nominee David Levy. He offered a behind-the-scenes look at the new coming-of-age film “Going for Two,” set against the backdrop of the Nebraska Cornhuskers’ 1983 season and the 1984 Orange Bowl.
*The conference also recognized Suburban Rotarians Angela Chaney and Jennifer Jirak-Brungardt, who received a District Governor’s Citation for their outstanding work with Rotary Means Business.
*In addition, the Suburban Rotary Club received a certificate of appreciation for its financial support of End Polio Now.
That commitment to ending polio carried into action as all Rotarians at the conference walked one mile in support of the world’s largest polio walk. Beginning at 10:00 a.m., the walk brought together Rotary International districts across region 36 (Zones 25B and 29), including hundreds of clubs spanning multiple states and Canada, from the Canadian border down to Texas.
