Looking for Volunteers: Rotary 14 Strategic Planning

We're looking for members who are interested in participating in a Strategic Planning Session for our Club on Saturday, March 29.

This is a chance to make a lasting impact, collaborate with fellow members, and ensure our club continues to thrive and serve our community in meaningful ways. We are looking for a balance of long-time and newer members.

Interested? Contact President Erin Dobesh.

Seeking Board of Director Nominations
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 Susan Stibal or Mike Wortman.
Dictionary Project
The Dictionary Project is a long-standing Rotary tradition and a collaboration between three Lincoln Rotary clubs to provide a dictionary to every third grade student in the city of Lincoln (both public & private schools).
 
If you're new, this is a gathering of volunteers from 3 Lincoln Rotary clubs to place Rotary labels in the front inside cover of almost 4,000 dictionaries. Then we box them up in the quantities needed for each school. Come hungry, as pizza will be provided! Here are the details for the party:
 
Monday, February 17 at 5:30 p.m. until done
Holy Trinity Church, 6001 A Street (east entrance)
Sign up for the labeling party here:  
 
Between February 18 and March 7, we need volunteers to deliver dictionaries to third grade classrooms. There is not a specific date for delivery, but a timeframe during which volunteers contact the school and set up a date and time. The schools on the signup are the ones that Rotary 14 is assigned. Other schools are assigned to the other Rotary clubs.
 
Sign up to deliver dictionaries here:

California Disaster Relief Fund: District 5300
District 5300, which encompasses regions of Southern California and Southern Nevada, has established a dedicated Relief Fund aimed at providing assistance to the victims affected by the recent devastating wildfires in California. This relief effort is being systematically overseen by the Rotary District 5300 Foundation, an organization committed to fostering community support and recovery initiatives. In the coming days, the Rotary District 5300 Foundation will convene a meeting to thoroughly discuss and strategize the most effective and impactful ways to allocate these crucial funds, ensuring that aid reaches those in need as swiftly and efficiently as possible.
