Speaker: David Klitz, Habitat for Humanity

David Klitz manages the Habitat for Humanity Restore stores. The proceeds from the stores provides the money to build 4 new homes through the Habitat program each year.

Habit has rehabbed or built over 330 homes in Omaha to date.

The selection process for a Habitat recipient is stringent. They require families to participate in the building process and take classes on home maintenance.

Restore is looking for building materials, fixtures, landscape materials, or anything from the garage that is usable for home improvement. Donations from businesses are also welcome. There are 2 stores in Omaha. For information on the stores to buy or sell, visit their website.

Klitz also shared a presentation on an international project he was part of in hurricane damaged Haiti. Homes that Haitians place a high value on are generally 350 square feet, have no electricity, or running water.

See HabitatOmaha.org for more information.

Thanks, David for speaking to the Kiwanis Club of Greater Omaha.

Message from Joe Grier regarding Monday’s speaker

Please see Joe’s message regarding our special guests Monday.

Brian can I get a web blast to encourage all to come to the meeting on Monday. The speaker is going to talk about how her and her husband (Tom Hoarty – used to be a member of the Club) went to Spain last year and walked over 450 miles on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage road.

Can you also turn the meeting over to her as soon as you can on Monday, I’d like to give her as much time as possible.

Margaret Hoarty and her husband spent six weeks late in the summer of 2012 walking the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage road in Spain. Over the 450 mile trek, they prayed and walked and met other pilgrims from around the world.

A Message from the President

As we begin a new Kiwanis year this week I would like to take a moment and thank our outgoing board members and officers for their service to the club. First, thank you Deb Rost for serving the club as a board member for the past 2 years. Deb is one of those quiet workers that has served Kiwanis at many levels and knows more about Kiwanis than I ever will! I would like to thank Dan Pleiss for his work over the past 2 years as treasurer and board member. I can tell you Dan’s accounting skills are second to none and he has our financial reporting process in great shape. Finally a big thank you to Kip Squire for his contribution to the club as our secretary for the past 2 years. Kip has been the person behind the scenes keeping us in compliance with the Kiwanis mother ship! And since he can’t get enough, Kip has stepped up for a 2 year term on the board!!

Your board is currently working on the budgeting process for the upcoming year and will have a final document ready to approve at the October 16^th board meeting. We welcome any input from the membership regarding the budgeting process.

Thank you.
