There is no weekly meeting this week. We will see you next time on Tuesday, March 5th for our guest speaker Elizabeth Elliott, Director of Lincoln Transportation. Go ahead and note that this meeting will take place on the 3rd Level of the Cornhusker Plaza instead of our usual meeting room.
Last week during our weekly meeting, we had the opportunity to hear from our Rotary 14 Foundation. We heard more about our 5/25 Campaign that casts a vision to build the endowment to a goal of $5 million dollars by 2025. At the meeting Rotarians who contributed most recently to the pledge were presented with 5/24 pledge certificate acknowledgements of thanks and a painting by Club Member and artist Chuck Schroder. To find out more about the 5/25 and how you can contribute, visit https://rotary14foundation.org/donate/pledge-to-the-525-campaign.html.
Congratulations, Feryal Akpo-Idrissou, recipient of the Rotary 14 High School Student Leadership Award at Lincoln Northwest High School. Feryal joined Rotary 14 on Tuesday, February 20 to accept this honor.
Every year, Rotary 14 invites a student from each local high school to present information to the club membership regarding the importance of community service at their school. To share the Rotary mission with area high school students and create an interest in the ideals of service. Committee members work with school administrators to identify a student leader to accept the award and work with those students to create a short presentation to be given at a regular club meeting.
These same students are encouraged to participate in the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards seminar held by Rotary District 5650 each spring. They are also made aware of the Club’s High School Scholarship criteria and encouraged to apply, if appropriate.
The Lincoln Rotary 14 Foundation is seeking nominations to the Foundation Board of Directors. Any member of Rotary Club 14 in good standing is eligible for consideration but preference will be given to those who have served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Club and who have made contributions to the Foundation. Extra consideration will also be given to those with extensive background in Rotary 14 leadership activities such as being a past Club president or district governor. If you are interested in serving on the Foundation Board or if you would like to nominate someone else to serve, please contact Mike Wortman or Susan Stibal.
