On February 12, 2016 at Lincoln South Rotary Club, we heard from Morgan Beck Orientation Coordinator and Ashley Broche, Training Lead at HUDL. The company was formed in 2006 to provide a platform for high school coaches to share video with other schools. High school coaches can put video on HUDL allowing it to be accessed from anywhere. Coaches can upload video as it happens and attach it to related stats so they can review it right after the game.  They have mobile apps allowing access via smart phone as well as the capability for players to create their own highlight videos. Initially the service was just for football but in 2013 they changed their platform to accommodate basketball. In 2014 they began to grow globally and added other sports such as soccer as well as expanding into the individual performance areas. In 2015 they expanded into Australia.

 

 

 

 

On February 19 we will hear about the Spring Creek Prairie Audubon Center from director Glynnis Collins.

Chair Joe Roberts reported on the results of the Foundation Drive. As of this date 93% of Lincoln South members participated and 16 members are using the
Rotary Direct system.

 

The goal was to raise $9,300 and to date Lincoln South has raised $10,340 plus the Paul Harris which is awarded to a District Conference speaker which brings the grand total to $11,340. Thanks to everyone for your participation and dedication to Rotary!

John Herdman and Joyce Michaelis were honored for achieving additional levels of giving to the Rotary Foundation. John has reached the $7,000 level and received a ruby pin and Joyce has reached the $2,000 level. Thank you for your commitment to Rotary!

Lincoln South Rotary Club has a strong tradition of supporting The Rotary Foundation. We thank our newest Bequest Society Members for creating a legacy of giving through the Bequest Society of The Rotary Foundation.

Lincoln South Rotary Club will be conducting a Member Orientation Meeting on Thursday, March 3. Details are below and on the Calendar (click here). Food will be available.
 

PLEASE RSVP so that we can properly plan for the food.

Bring your laptop or tablet as we will be accessing Rotary websites during the meeting.

We were introduced to the new UNL Rotaract President Elizabeth Rembert. Lincoln South Rotary is now a co-sponsor of UNL Rotaract along with Lincoln #14. We are also hoping to connect some SCC students to the Rotaract Club.

 

As Rotary members, if you are interested in being a mentor to one of the Rotaract students, or wish to be on the committee working with Rotaract, please let us know.

 

There is a photo album on the club website (see links along the top) for Rotaract activiteis.

The Lincoln South Rotary Club Food Drive was a success - we raised $1177 - over our goal of $1100!

 

Thank you for the donations which will provide support to all of the programs of the Lincoln Food Bank.

 

If you missed the Food Drive and still wish to contribute, please let us know.

 

 

Mark your calendars for the Salute to Business event on Tuesday April 5, 2016. This event is sponsored by all 4 Lincoln Rotary clubs and honors a local business which has contributed to job growth in the community.

 

The luncheon will be held at the Cornhusker Hotel and Nelnet has been selected as the honoree this year.

 

Lincoln South Rotary is putting together a table of 10 so if you would like to attend, contact Joe Roberts. Cost is $30 per person. This event will count as our regular meeting so Lincoln South will NOT be holding its meeting on Friday April 8th.

 

Tom Cardwell is asking for 2-3 volunteers to help with the RYLA camp at camp Kitaki from April 15th to April 17th. RYLA which is Rotary Youth Leadership Award puts on a camp each year to teach leadership skills to high school youth. Please contact Tom if you can help. 

If the Nebraska State Offices are closed due to weather, then Lincoln South Rotary Club will cancel.

 

We will post the CANCEL status on the Club Website by 10:00 AM.

 

To review - we are NOT following the practice of Lincoln Public Schools but, instead, the practice of the Nebraska State Offices.

Please congratulate our newest board members recently elected for the period through 6/30/17.
