The Suburban Rotary Charitable Foundation will be participating in Omaha Gives again this year on May 20th. Any donations made during Omaha Gives will count toward your fundraiser for the 15-16 Rotary year. Please note that these donations support our LOCAL Foundation for our scholarships and other projects NOT the Rotary International Foundation.
We will be eligible for matching gifts and prizes based on total dollars raised, number of individual donors, etc. Please mark your calendar if you'd like to participate. More details and a giving link will be provided as we get closer.
The annual luncheon where we show appreciation to staff from work has been moved to May 28th due to space restrictions at Anthony's in April. Please mark this date to bring someone to Rotary whom you want to appreciate. Details to follow.
Program will be Todd Baker from Baker's Candies. Join us for this "Sweet" Meeting.
One of our former exchange students- Donjeta Gjuka, from Kosovo is attending the University of Texas at Austin for her Ph.D in Cell and Molecular Science. She was an exchange student with us who stayed with Curt Peters in 2008-2009.
