Dear Kiwanis Omaha, Inc.,

 

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving weekend with family and friends, even if you watched the Huskers get trounced by the Hawkeyes. You know what they say... "There's always next year."

 

Thank you to those members who helped serve the Thanksgiving meal at The Hope Center for Kids and to those members signed up for bell ringing at JC Penney's this Saturday, December 3rd. Our hands-on projects remind us and the Omaha community at-large that we are a service organization focused on improving the world one child and one community at a time. Let's keep it up!

 

Finally, I extend a warm welcome again to our newest members, Rhonda Brusso and Ben Poole! Let's continue to spread the word about Kiwanis to our friends, family, and co-workers so we can stay on track to reach our goal of 100 members by our 100th anniversary in January 2019. Our December 9th speaker, Lance Fritz - CEO of Union Pacific, is an excellent opportunity to invite your contacts in the transportation industry or any industry that is highly impacted by rail shipments (e.g., chemicals, agriculture, coal/energy, etc.). I look forward to seeing you at Friday's meeting.
