For Metro Omaha Rotary Clubs:
As earlier suggested, our last shift on Saturday, Feb 6, ends at 4:00PM. We have advised the charities to come to the central location to pick up our food donations at 5:00PM. This way, we give everyone an hour to get to the central location.
Our central location to drop off groceries will be at Westroads JC Penney. The exact location is listed below:
- Westroads at JC Penney's upper level parking garage on the east side. Please park on the north side of the ramp.
In the event of extreme weather conditions on Feb 6, Sat at 4:00PM, our plan B for drop off will be at the following location:
- Terrace Plaza located at 11414 West Center Road. We will be using the back door. Tony Stiles at SW Rotary, whose family owns the building, have facilitated this location for us.
OTHER ITEMS:
CASH DONATION
- Each club is responsible for counting the money raised during the food drive and it is requested that your club writes a check to Rotary District 5650. The District will then equally donate the money raised to all participating charities.
MEDIA
- Just a heads up, Complete Music & Video will be sending their crew to the central location on Saturday, Feb. 6, to interview some of you. Some local TV stations may be sending their crews also to cover our turn over of food to the charities.
- Roxy Orr is coordinating our media efforts for this project and has already sent out our press releases to the Metro media and to cities where the rest of our 46 clubs are located.
I'm glad to share with you that on my last round of follow up with some clubs outside Omaha, everybody is ready and looking forward to a successful Super Bowl Food Drive!
Thank you very much!
