Hello Kiwanis Omaha, Inc.

Thank you for such a great turnout last week for Creighton's head basketball coach, Greg McDermott. It was an honor and a pleasure to have such a quality program for my first official meeting as president. Thank you Jim Patterson for helping coordinate with Creighton and Coach McDermott. I hope you all appreciated the inside scoop on the team and Coach's commitment to maintaining the Creighton culture as fundamental to the team's success. My favorite part, however, was Coach's story about Doug still sliding the check across the table to Dad when they visit Doug in Chicago. Old habits are hard to kick!

As I mentioned on Friday, our board has a goal of reaching 100 members by our 100 ^th anniversary in January 2019. Thank you to everyone who invited prospective members last week. Our club does so much for the community already, but we can accomplish even more if we share our message with others and inspire them to join us. Invite a friend or coworker to join us for lunch, a club social, or a service project. Let's get to 100 by our 100^th!

Our first service project is October 18^th, at 5:30pm at The Omaha Home for Boys. More details are below and you can CLICK HERE to volunteer. As always, we will send a reminder emails. It's an excellent opportunity to live our mission - improving the world one child and one community at a time.
