On August 7, 2020, Rotary 14 presented the Lincoln Parks Foundation with a $200,000 check to help renovate the Bicentennial Cascade Fountain, also known as the “Teachers’ Fountain.”
In honor of Rotary #14’s 110th Anniversary, club members selected the Cascade Fountain as the featured Signature Project. The $200,000 donation is a combination of funds from Rotary #14 and its foundation counterpart. Located at the corner of 27th Street and Capital Parkway across from the Sunken Gardens, the Cascade Fountain was built in 1978 as a result of a collaboration between the Lincoln-Area Teachers Association (known today as Lincoln Area Retired School Personnel) and Lincoln Parks and Recreation to commemorate Nebraska’s Bicentennial (Randy Bretz).

On July 31, Community Action Partnership of Lancaster and Saunders Counties presented the Rotary 14 with the 27th Community Action at Work Award for Rotary's continued embodiment and support of Community Action's work to address poverty.
Community Action's Gathering Place soup kitchen serves free hot, nutritious meals, to anyone experiencing hunger in Lincoln. Over the past three decades, the Rotary 14 has provided a variety of support to the Gathering Place such as volunteering several times a month. As well as providing the chairs in which guests sit for nightly meal service, a commercial stove and hood for safe and efficient cooking, and repairs to the Gathering Place roof and front porch. In addition, the organization has served as a annual match campaign sponsor since 2016, supporting Community Action's ability to address a growing need for services.
"Gathering Place would not be able to do its work today without the support of the Rotary 14," says Lisa Janssen, Gathering Place Administrator. “We are so grateful for their continued support and encouragement, and honored to present them with the 27th Community Action at Work Award."
