Rotary Youth Exchange is a Rotary International student exchange program for students in secondary school. Since 1929, Rotary International has sent young people around the globe to experience new cultures. Students learn a new language, discover another culture, and truly become global citizens. Exchanges for students ages 15-19 are sponsored by Rotary clubs in more than 100 countries. Long-term exchanges last a full academic year, and students attend local schools and live with multiple host families.
Last week, Former Nebraska Secretary of State Allen Beermann conferred honorary Rotary membership to Darrin Good. Dr. Darrin Good became the seventeenth president of Nebraska Wesleyan University on July 1, 2019. Prior to coming to Nebraska Wesleyan, he was Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty at Whittier College near Los Angeles, California; and Associate Provost and Dean of Science and Education at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. He holds a Ph.D. in biology from the University of Kansas. Darrin began his career in higher education teaching biology at his alma mater, Augustana College, in Rock Island, Illinois. His longstanding commitment to providing service opportunities for students locally and globally included creating a medical service learning program in Nicaragua. Darrin and his wife Diana have one daughter, Samantha. She and her wife Michelle live near Boston.

Click here to donate online to The Rotary Foundation (TRF) of Rotary International.
Donating to The Rotary Foundation is a great opportunity for Rotarians to give back. Consider making your annual donation NOW. Your money comes back to us in three years in the form of Global and District grants to spend on our projects. Your donation goes around the world to promote peace and conflict prevention & resolution, disease prevention and treatment, water and sanitation, maternal and child health, basic education and literacy, and economic and community development. Every Rotarian Every Year asks that you consider a gift of at least $100 to The Rotary Foundation.
If you have never given to TRF, Rotary 14 will match your first $100 to the Foundation, giving you $200 toward your Paul Harris Fellowship (cumulative giving of $1000). If a member initially donates less than $100, Rotary 14 will make the match as soon as the $100 level is reached. For all other club members, the club will match any contribution above the $100 Sustaining Member level per Rotary year (minimum match is $100), but not to exceed $500.
You can also bring a check made out to The Rotary Foundation to our weekly meeting and Yolanda will send it with the contribution form to TRF. Any questions, please contact TRF Chair Scott Larson.

Ask five people about lunch preferences for Club meetings and one will hear six to eight ideas, or more, about what people prefer. We have had many requests for healthier lunch alternatives, lighter fare, and the full plate proponents have also been heard. At the same time the Nebraska Club has approached the Rotary Board with a needed price increase to more accurately reflect its costs (Remember our Four Way Test #2!).
Beginning November 5th we are doing a trial run of “Super Salad Buffet” for Lunch. Each week will vary with seasonal offerings and include protein options. There will no longer be 2 choices for lunch – just the one “Super Salad Buffet”.
For November:
11/5/19 Fajita Salad with Chicken Tortilla Soup
11/12/19 Blackened Beef and Blue Cheese with Cream of Mushroom Bisque
11/19/19 Provence Salmon Salad with Fall Squash Soup
11/26/19 Grilled Chicken and Caesar Salad with Roasted Tomato Bisque
This change will be at the current “full buffet” amount of $11. Rotarians with pre-paid salad bar cards will have to pay the $3 difference when you check in. We will be testing out this new option for three months while also exploring other lunch/pricing alternatives. As always, if you have thoughts or questions, please let us know! Contact Doc Chaves, Mark Feit, or Christina Usher.
