Last week re-cap 
Last week Alan Stanek and Dick Miller served as Greeters.   Tom Kerfoot gave the invocation.

Welcome Michael Morong!
Last week Mike Fosdick introduced us to new member Michael Morong.   Michael is a Branch Manager at Union Bank and Trust.  He has been with them for nearly six years. 
 
Michael grew up South Omaha and went to Bryan High School.  He spent 2 years at UNL and was involved with the Big Event and residence hall government there. At the end of his sophomore year, he accepted an internship opportunity with Disney and took part in Disney’s Exploration Series on Leadership.
 
 He has been married to Rachel (whom he started dating during their Disney internships).  They just bought their first home and have a cat at home named Nala.  In his free time, Michael plays recreational softball and travels back to Disney when he can.  Welcome, Michael!

Suburban Rotary Foundation Fundraiser 
We are conducting our annual Suburban Rotary Charitable Foundation fundraiser for the next several weeks. Our goal is 40K.  We ask every Rotarian to make a donation of any size to support all of our great projects.  Donors of $300 or more (pledge or cash) will be recognized as members of the President's Scholarship Circle.     Examples that your donations support are our global grants to Afghanistan and Togo, the homeless foot clinic, meal packaging, donations to veterans,  and support for Crestridge school. YOU make all this possible!   CLICK HERE TO DONATE ONLINE 
 
Thank you to those who have already donated or pledged support this year! (Scholarship Circle members are in bold)
Last week we recognized many of our Presidents' Scholarship Circle Donors.   We will continue to recognize them throughout the fundraiser.  Thank you!
