NEOS is the new member orientation process for Rotary 14. The name comes from the Greek work "neos" meaning new or fresh. The purpose is to teach new members (Red Badgers) about our Club and Rotary International (we have a lot going on!), develop relationships within Rotary and get new members involved in Club activities -- to act as a catalyst for a great new member experience!
 
The Pats' Prairie Walk for Polio

Pat Birch and Pat Leach invite Rotarians and their friends to join them for a prairie walk to support Rotary’s Global Polio Eradication Initiative. We'll celebrate the prairie in spring and Earth Day. Join us at the earth-shelter home of Pat Leach and Bill Oberg for short-and-easy walks through the prairie at their place just northwest of Lincoln. To sweeten the deal, Pat and Pat will provide home-baked cookies and coffee. Come to walk in nature or just enjoy the view and the cookies. Further details and a map will be sent following registration.

A $50 donation per person is requested. Checks should be made out to "Polio Plus" and turned in at the event.

Welcome to Our Newest Member!

 
At our March 17 meeting, Rotary 14 welcomed new member Bob Wayne (sponsored by Brock Shelton). Be sure to give a warm Rotary welcome when you see him!
 
Robert “Bob” Wayne, Leadership Lincoln (Corporate Partner)

Bob is the the owner of the Bob Wayne Realty group with Nebraska Realty. He's originally from Seward, Nebraska and started his real estate career off in Lincoln back in 2002. Bob was with a small local firm for 23 years until recently when he decided to branch off on his own and start a real estate team now called the Bob Wayne Realty group. He's been a member of the Lincoln community for almost 30 years now and he has been involved with many charitable organizations like City Impact and Berean Church, where he attends weekly. A huge passion of Bob's is people!

High School Student Leadership Award: Lauren Ledin

Congratulations to our latest recipient of the Rotary 14 High School Student Leadership Award. Lauren Ledin from North Star High School joined Rotary 14 on Tuesday, March 17 to accept this honor. 

Every year, Rotary 14 invites a student from each local high school to present information to the club membership regarding the importance of community service at their school. To share the Rotary mission with area high school students and create an interest in the ideals of service. Committee members work with school administrators to identify a student leader to accept the award and work with those students to create a short presentation to be given at a regular club meeting.

These same students are encouraged to participate in the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards seminar held by Rotary District 5650 each spring. They are also made aware of the Club’s High School Scholarship criteria and encouraged to apply, if appropriate
