She will cover what Eastmont offers (Life Care) and how Eastmont is different from other facilities for seniors in Lincoln. She will also share about Eastmont’s expansion efforts and how they are driven by the changing needs of seniors and investing in East Lincoln. Toward the end of her presentation she will share how Eastmont has had to “pivot” during the COVID-10 pandemic and how, as a business, it has had to adapt to the changing market.

Welcome Back Michele Tilley
Michele Tilley is a returning Rotary 14 Rotarian. Michele Tilley started her company, Chocolate Cake Communication Design, in 2005 after leading the graphics department at the Arbor Day Foundation for more than seven years. Owning a small business for 15 years taught her relationship building, coordination, and strategy for public relations and project management, and to really understand audiences and clients. Michele brings a strong background of art, design, journalism, and creative problem solving to whatever project she tackles, be it local and national marketing and fundraising campaigns, graphic design or campaign strategy for organizations, corporations, political candidates, and bond issues.
 
As the former communications manager for the Lied Center for Performing Arts, Michele nurtured relationships with local, regional and national media, including television, radio, print and online media, coordinating projects and programs with the city of Lincoln, University of Nebraska administrators, agents, world-class artists, organizations, companies, and nonprofits. She created public relations, earned media, email, and social media strategies and implemented them, growing the Lied’s online audience to more than 23,000 followers, expanding the media reach across the state, and selling out the biggest season in the Lied's history.

Welcome back, Michele! Thank you, President Eric Drumheller and Past President Liz Koop for bringing back Michele to Rotary.
Rotary Scavenger Hunt & Bingo
Participate in Rotary 14's Own Scavenger Hunt/BINGO!
Gather your socially-distanced and masked friends and family together into a scavenger hunt team. Track down the various Rotary landmarks and service projects. Upon viewing the landmark or project, mark it off on your card. Be strategic in order to achieve a "BINGO" across, down or diagonally. For the more ambitious aim to get multiple BINGO's or a black out card. Send your card to Christina at  (clu@mattsonricketts.com) or by mail at: 1920 Beatrice St., Lincoln, NE 68506.A prize raffle will be held from the completed cards which must contain at least one BINGO to be eligible for the prize drawing. Prizes include Rotary swag scavenged from the Rotary vault - an adventure in itself!

We still have time to catch up with Past President Randy Bretz
Rotary 14 Presented a $200,000 Check to Lincoln Parks Foundation
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).
