Welcome Back Glenn Friendt
Recently, Past President Roger Ludemann introduced returning Rotarian Glenn Friendt.
 
We are happy to have Glenn Friendt renew his membership in Rotary Club 14. Glenn was a member several years ago and was a donor to our annual auction as well as becoming a Rotary Paul Harris Fellow. Glenn is a native of Lincoln and a graduate of Lincoln High and the University of Nebraska.  He is well known through his business affiliations and community service work especially with organizations like Junior Achievement and the United Way. Glenn is an avid golfer and appreciates fine wine. He plans to be an active member of the club and looks forward to seeing old friends as well as meeting new members of the club. Welcome Back Glenn!
