The Rotary Foundation provides matching grants every year for a service project.  For the 2017 - 2018 year, 26 projects were approved for funding.  These include $554 to the Ashland Rotary club, to purchase and install seating / picnic table near the electric car charging station by the City Park.  Also approved are $1,500 for the Beatrice Rotary club to provide materials and assist in building an outdoor classroom for the Beatrice Community Preschool, and $1,500 for the Bellevue Papillion Rotary to support the Magdalene House for women experiencing violence, prostitution and addiction, to maintain the house and purchase items for the residents.  A full list of projects that received grants in our Rotary district (Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa) can be found here.

 

If you have idea for a project that the Omaha West Rotary club can support, please contact us!  Project proposals need to be developed in the fall and early winter, then go through an approval process in the spring.  Funding is finalized in late May for the upcoming year.

Our annual fundraiser is coming up on Thursday, August 24th.  We ask all club members to participate in some way.   Can you play? If not, consider sponsoring a hole, donating a raffle prize, or purchasing raffle tickets.  We also need volunteers to solicit businesses for sponsorships/prizes.   This fundraiser supports our Foundation which supports all our charitable programs.

 

Volunteers are needed to help the Rotary Information Committee clean out our storage unit to archive necessary items and shred others.  Please contact Suzan Rohrig if you are interested in helping with this project. 

Effective immediately, the price for a meeting will be $7 and meeting and lunch will be $16. This is due to the increases from Champions.
