2018 05_10 Meeting - Team Giving

Another awesome meeting; especially our guests.   Darrell introduced his guests Wiruch and Noi Nitteranont, husband and wife, both past presidents of the Rotary Club of Ang Thong that is about 106 km north of Bangkok. Their District 3350 encompasses Bangkok, Thailand and surrounding clubs, 7 Cambodian clubs, 1 Myanmar club, 1 provisional Myanmar club and one provisional Laos club. Wiruch is also an incoming Assistant District Governor in District 3350. Wiruch and Noi were accompanied by a Buddhist abbot whose name is Phrakhruphibunphatthanaphimon but he goes by P-boon for short. 

 

 

Jerry Johnson encouraged full participation in the Tour de Lincoln coming up this weekend, and showed the donated New Belgium Brewing bike that will be raffled off at the event.

 

 

Dan noted that the last meeting of May will be a 5th Thursday, at this house. (More to follow.).  He also noted that the voting for the 2018 LNM Best of the Best is available and encouraged all to vote.

 

David Cesio announced that next service event is to distribute food at the Salt Mine on May 19th.  Show up at 11-11:30.  It is also noted that we have a blood drive coming up on Friday June 22nd. 

 

 

Susan Elliott, one of our new members. but a long-time member from the Cresent City area, gave here ice-breaker speech. She recently moved to SCLH.  She has hosted 4 RYE students. She is a 4-time cancer survivor, but you would never know it!  We are so so so lucky to have her as a member of our club since in addition to being a past president, she has held essentially every committee position.   Susan, thank you for joining our club.  

 

 

Our speaker was Trudy Harris, a founder of Team Giving and a Rotary Passport Club member. The purpose of Team Giving is to:

 

  Connect         Empower            Strengthen
  Volunteers  +  Non-Profits   =  Community Support 

 

She works with many corporations, helping them provide volunteers to local non-profits.  Maybe there is a connection with the good things that we do in Lincoln.  Thank you Trudy for this inspiring presentation.
