President's Corner
 
Dear fellow Kiwanians,
As we enter the last three months of our calendar year and the first month of the new Kiwanis year, it is natural to reflect on last year's accomplishments and make new commitments for this year. I encourage you to think about your contributions last year through your time, treasure, and talents. Where did you have the greatest impact? Where do you wish you could help more? What can we, as Kiwanis leaders, do to enhance your Kiwanis experience?
Please reach out to me or any board members with your thoughts and ambitions for next year. This is YOUR club and it will only thrive because of your participation and enthusiasm for our mission. Thank you for all that you do for the Omaha community.
 
 
FRIDAY PROGRAM - GREG MCDERMOTT - INVITE! INVITE! INVITE!
One of the club's main objectives this year is to increase membership as we approach our 100th anniversary in 2019. This Friday's program with Greg McDermott is a great opportunity to bring your co-workers, friends, or family members to learn more about Kiwanis.
