Lincoln Rotary #14 raised $50,000 to help revitalize the playground at Everett Elementary School. On August 23, we presented a check to Mike Long, Principal at the school. The Lincoln Journal Star ran a story about this and you can read it here. Here's a photo essay by Jason Keese of Lincoln Public Schools, click here.

Rotary Youth Exchange student Jack Klingenberg from Northeast High School arrived to a warm welcome in Taiwan on Saturday. Jack is one of two students we are sponsoring this year for a year to learn another language and culture. Many of you know Jack’s dad Chris from both the YMCA and Lincoln East Rotary. Our other student, Esme Sipp from Southwest High School, will be leaving for Italy in a couple weeks. Tuesday we’ll introduce our two Inbound Students, Mauro Storti from Naples, Italy and Mariasun “Tatun” Linzoain Barricart from Pamplona, Spain.
