Last week at Rotary, President Mailani Veney presided the meeting, while Randy Hawthorne conducted club business. We hosted the Mandela Fellows and we heard two of them, Thembise “Lucil” Magajana of South Africa and Christallin Lydovick Rakotoasy of Madagascar, each gave details of how they are working to help others in their respective countries. Thanks to Randy Bretz, the meeting landed a good story at Lincoln Journal Star, click here. Below are some photos. You can view more photos on our Facebook group here.

Rotarian Chuck Schroeder, headline at The Oklahoman
We now have a famous painter at Rotary #14! Artist Chuck Schroeder has painted people from all walks of life in his professional career and he recently added "future saint" to his artistic portfolio. Chuck was the front-page story at The Oklahoman Saturday Edition, click here, during the presentation of his oil painting of Blessed Stanley Rother to the late priest's home church this past Saturday in Okarche.
Rother, an Okarche native, was a priest with the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City when he was killed by unknown assailants while serving a parish in Santiago Atitlan, Guatemala. He was proclaimed a martyr by Pope Francis in 2016 and he was beatified — the final step before sainthood — in an elaborate ceremony in 2017 in Oklahoma City.
Kate Holman is the Advancement Director of the Mourning Hope Grief Center. Born and raised in Massachusetts, Kate graduated with a Bachelor of Science from the University of New Hampshire in Durham, NH. She relocated to Lincoln in 2009 with her husband, Mark, a purchasing agent at Kawasaki.
Kate is dedicated to the nonprofit sector, and passionate about giving back to the community. She began her nonprofit career in 2007 and has spent the last 12 years driven by mission. She brings a diverse set of skills to the Mourning Hope team including fundraising, marketing, event planning, and volunteer and donor management. Kate’s desire to support bereaved youth and their families comes from her past work with the state’s hospice agencies, time spent as a hospice volunteer, and her personal experiences with death and grief.
Kate is excited to be joining Lincoln Rotary Club 14, and to further serve the community she now considers to be home. Kate was proposed to Rotary by Sandi Fabry.
