Hi everyone,

We’re getting close to our First Responders Night at Werner Park on Friday, September 4, and I’d love to see a great Omaha West Rotary turnout!

If you’re planning to stay for the Storm Chasers game, Rotarians can purchase discounted tickets here:

ROTARY TICKET LINK

Even if you can’t stay for the game, we would still LOVE to have you join us for the pregame tailgate (attached is the tailgate area)! This is our opportunity to welcome these first responders and their families, thank them for their service, and show them just how great Omaha West Rotary is. The more Rotarians we have there to greet and celebrate them, the better!

And please keep spreading the word! Send the First Responders invitation to every firefighter, law enforcement officer, EMT/EMS professional or first responder you know. We want to reach as many families as possible.

I won’t be at our club meeting this Friday, but if you have any questions about the event, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly.

Thank you all for helping make this a great night for our local first responders and their families!

We need your help to prepare and serve dinner at the Hope Lodge! 

Rt. 106: This route picks up coolers in the parking lot north of St. Timothy Church (93^rd & Dodge). The route starts at 120^th south of Blondo, heads south to 114^th and Pacific and then heads west on Pacific, ending at 144^th. Currently there are 8 clients (8 stops). This route will take about 1hr-1.25hrs to complete.

Onboarding Process: We would need to enroll all those that would be volunteering to deliver meals (including spouses). The enrollment process would be to fill out a short enrollment form, consent to a background check, review and acknowledgment of our handbook.

How it works: Each route picks up their coolers by 10:55am. The volunteer will pick up 2 coolers (1 with the hot trays and 1 with the cold items). Once arriving to the home, the volunteer will put the hot tray and cold items in a plastic bag and deliver to the client’s home. Some clients have mobility issues so they may have special instructions on the route sheet, such as knock, walk in, announce yourself, give meal to client. If a client does not answer the door, never leave the meal and always call our office. Not only is the program set up to provide a nutritious meal but also to provide a safety net to our clients. So, if they do not answer the door, we are calling the client, their emergency contact, or doing a well check to ensure they are okay. Once the route is complete, the volunteer can keep the coolers until the next delivery, or they can drop them off at our Meals on Wheels office (132^nd & L St.).
