Welcome April Clark!

Last week Mark Ellsworth introduced us new member April Clark. April is the mother to three kids 21, 18, and 10. Her oldest son is currently deployed in the Middle East in the Air Force and her 18 year-old son is working to obtain his Realtor's license. April's daughter is a 4th grade soccer, softball and basketball player in the Millard school district.

She has been in property management in Lincoln and Omaha for 20+-years. She is an active member and volunteer with herchurch, Stonebridge.

April works at Modus Coworking, in downtown Omaha, where they offer turnkey office suites, networking events and 11 conference room options. Modus offers the perfect solution for remote workers, hybrid offices, free lancers, small businesses and other professionals who are looking for business legitimacy and/or an ecosystem of professionals collaborating together to improve their businesses.

April is proud to be a new member of Omaha West Rotary Club and looks forward to serving through the opportunities the group presents.

Welcome, April!
