COVID cannot prevent Rotarians from keeping the action going as shown on our highway cleanup on August 15, 2020. Thank you to all those who volunteered. Special thanks to Todd Crawford for organizing the service project. Here are some photos.
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!

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).
