President Dan Johnson
 
We started the 2017/18 year with our motto, “Making a Difference.”  Rotary has always made a difference in our great Lincoln community, but this year was very special in that way as outlined in the following accomplishments of our year. It was an honor beyond my imagination to lead the club during this milestone year for our club and community.
