A Note from the President
Hello, everyone
 
Presuming we aren’t all washed away this week in the rain, I look forward to seeing you at our weekly lunch meeting this Friday.   We will install Officers and Board for the 2019 Centennial year and welcome a special guest, former Omaha mayor Hal Daub (Regent for The University of Nebraska). Rumor has it Hal knows when the Huskers will win again, so you won’t want to miss this meeting.
 
Thank you for renewing your membership! We cannot realize our mission without you and it is wonderful to have so many renew their commitment to the children of Omaha and our club. If you’re one of the few who has not yet taken this step, please contact Joyce to get a copy of your invoice, pay with a credit card or find out where to mail a check.
 
As the days cool, we are getting busier. It will soon be time to sign up to ring bells at Westroads to benefit The Salvation Army (my company) and the various holiday-related events will cycle back in. Here is a quick list of the events happening this month:
·          Saturday, 13 October . This is probably one of the few times I can quote Urban Dictionary in one of our messages:  Falliday - A word used to combine holidays that take place within the "fall" season.  Please consider joining our Circle K Club (resident at Creighton) this Saturday as they serve at Open Door Mission and enjoy time at the Henry Doorly Zoo.
·          Wednesday, 24 October . From 4:30 to 6:00 pm we’ll be at Kids Can Community Center to help with their Family Night Out. Kids Can, under the leadership of my friend Robert Patterson, is doing important work in South Omaha, an area I learned a bit about when working with The Kroc Center. Good people. I hope to see you there.
 
See you this Friday at Scott Conference Center ( please RSVP here ) and have a good week..
