2018 02_15 Meeting

 

It was full and busy meeting today while we took time to acknowledge and thank some of our Sponsors.  First was Don and Pauline Jacobs of E.K. Riley Investments who have sponsored NATR for the past four years, since its inception.  We also thanked Mark Luster, a former member of Lincoln Rotary, represented Sierra Pacific Industries who has been a consistent sponsor of Lincoln Rotary.  We thank Don, Pauline (E. K. Riley) and Mark (Sierra Pacific Industries) for their valuable support to our club.   

 

 

Allan Lowe reported that the play that he wrote and directed was a big hit and played to full houses on the weekend at Kilaga Presenation Theater.  He noted that one of the stars of the show was Estelle, Carol Feineman's 92 year old mother.

 

Dick Fowler won the raffle but no Ace.  Harriett gave an update on the Senior Center project which has had some setbacks but is now back on track with enthusiasm from other Service Clubs adding to the momentum.  

 

President Dan reminded us of the District Assembly on April 7th which is a great way to learn more about the different programs within our District and in depth areas of our Club.  Join us for a Saturday morning, networking with other Clubs is a great way to learn new ideas and share experiences.

 

The LHS Zebra Baseball Dinner will be on Friday, March 2nd and we always have a heavy showing of members attend to support our excellent baseball team.  Come out and have Tri-tip dinner for $20 and support our Fighting Zebras.

 

We will be having a Rotary Social at the Potters Game on June 10th.  Details to be announced, but we will take over the Corporate picnic area where hot dogs and tri-tip sandwiches will be available.  

 

We received a very nice Thank you note from UCSF for our $250 donation to the Scholarship fund in honor of Ed Page and his wife, Adele.  The fund supports women who are training to be doctors at UCSF.  If anyone wants to send a donation in memory of Ed, contact Joann.  President Dan said that a memorial service is being planned in April for Ed.

 

Our speaker was Ember Nordhaus, Marketing Manager of Summerset Senior Living right here in Lincoln.  Ember gave a very personalized presentation of her direct experience with her Aunt who insisted on staying in her home with health care attendants.  The experience was not a good one and she was exploited by both her financial planner as well as the health workers.  She bloomed when moved to an Assisted Living facility.  Ember gave great reasons for us to consider the option of moving to a licensed home that has standards that are enforced as well as offering many options, activities and companionship of others.
