Beneficiaries of the Auction
Tabitha Health Care Services
Founded in 1886, Tabitha is now setting the standard for contemporary elder care in our community.
Its Green House cares for a small community of elders and gives them all the comforts of home.
Its Hospice Care unit puts family togetherness front and center. Altogether it serves more than 1800 Nebraskans a day. More…
Through support from the Rotary Auction, Tabitha will purchase a new high-tech oven for its Meals on Wheels program. Since 1967, that program has been providing home delivery of hot, nutritious meals to needy Lincoln residents seven days a week and 365 days a year.
The Child Advocacy Center
Established in 1998, the Child Advocacy Center provides round-the-clock help for children who are victims of abuse.
It offers a safe, child-friendly environment for forensic interviews and medical evaluations of the child victim in
the run-up to court proceedings, and offers continued support for the child and non-offending family members. More…
With support from Rotary, the CAC will boost the availability of 24/7 on-call child advocates, purchase new laptops for staff in the field, and print newly updated handbooks for parents and caregivers.
Rotary Polio Eradication Project
Since 1986, Rotary International (RI) has been a founding partner in PolioPlus, a world-wide effort to
permanently eradicate polio. As a result of the program, new cases of polio world-wide have been
reduced drastically -- from 350,000 in 1986 to 1278 cases in 2007. It is clear, however, that the last 1%
of new cases may be harder to conquer than the first 99% and will only happen with the commitment of
people in polio-free, industrialized countries like the US. With global support to fund the cost of
vaccines and an aggressive effective push in the four remaining endemic countries, it is believed that
the goal of total eradication can accomplished. Until this happens, the spread of polio will continue to
be just a plane ride away. More…
In 2007, Rotary International was awarded a $100 million challenge grant from
the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Google corporation provided an
additional matching grant of $3.5 million. RI has launched a nation-wide, three-
year fund-raising campaign to raise the matching $103.5 million. District 5650,
of which Club #14 is a member, is committed to raising $135,000 over the next
three years toward the match.

community projects and has established a long term, stable resource for supporting future community
service activities. More…
