NO REGULAR MEETING THIS WEEK (Sept 9): It's Business Networking Day!

There will be no regular meeting on Tuesday, September 9. Instead, Rotary 14 members will be out in the community for Business Networking Day, visiting businesses across Lincoln. This event required advance registration, so sign-ups are now closed.

We encourage participants to share photos from the day in our Facebook group titled "Rotary 14 Chat" and to tag "Lincoln Rotary Club 14" in any of your posts. We’d love to see your experiences! We look forward to gathering again at our next regular meeting.

Rotary 14 Foundation Fellowship Forums

The Rotary 14 Foundation was formed in 1997 with one purpose in mind - its mission to support the objectives of the Lincoln Rotary #14 Club. Over the past 28 years, the Foundation has grown to approximately $3.5 million. These monies support the charitable work of Club #14 in our community, region and the world.

As the needs our Club wants to address continue to grow, the Foundation must also continue to grow! This is an invitation to join Jim Mastera, Jennifer Williams and other Foundation officers to learn more about how the Foundation operates and how you can find a way to join your fellow club members in providing support in a way that works for you.

Refreshments and snacks will be provided at each session. Please sign up to attend one today!

September 15, 5:30 - 6:30 pm at Jim Mastera's

September 21, 4:00 - 5:00 pm at Jennifer Williams'

September 23, 5:30 - 6:30 pm at Jim Mastera's
