President's Corner
Dear Kiwanis Omaha, Inc.,
How lucky were we to have such great weather this past weekend in November? I hope you all enjoyed time with family and friends as we enter the holiday season. With that in mind, please consider volunteering to help those in most need of our support at the
Hope Center for Kids on November 17th, from 4:30pm-7:30pm. You can sign up by responding to one of Katie's emails or
clicking here. We hope you and your family or friends can join us.
On another note, regardless of tomorrow evening's results, our Kiwanis club will continue to have a strong impact on our local community and we will strive for our goal of
100 members by our 100th anniversary. Jenny Janovich, our membership director, has been reaching out to some of you for help in this endeavor. Please be thinking about family, friends, and co-workers who care about the Omaha community and want to have a positive impact in the lives of disadvantaged children. Together, we can have an even greater impact as we
improve the world one child and one community at a time.
President, Kiwanis Club of Omaha
This Week's Program
"Election Analysis"
This Friday, we are privileged to welcome back Dr. Paul Landow of the Political Science Department at UNO. Dr. Landow
specializes in state and local government and teaches upper division courses on state, urban, and American politics and government, as well as the politics of Omaha and Nebraska.
At our meeting this Friday, he will be talking about the November 8th election, its results and a little of why your candidate won or lost. Dr. Landow brings a wealth of knowledge and is always a pleasure to have at Kiwanis Club Omaha meeting.
Remember to vote tomorrow, and them please come Friday and invite a guest!

LAST MEETING
Mark Hasebroock
At our last meeting, we welcomed Mark Hasebroock of Dundee Venture Capital. Mr. Hasebroock co-founded giftcertificates.com and Hayneedle and when looking for investors in these businesses, he found a lot of closed doors. He decided to form a company that seeds start up companies in web services and e-commerce. Dundee Venture Capital vets over 178 applications a year to get to about 20-30 businesses to invest in. Many have already gone on to sell their businesses for a hefty profit. Mr. Hasebroock was raised in Omaha and loves it for this business, as capital goes further and talent is less competitive.
