Omaha Downtown Rotary Club Announces 89th Annual 8th Grade Honor Roll Luncheon

The Rotary Club of Omaha (omaharotary.org) will honor 425 local 8th grade students at the 89th annual eighth grade Rotary Honor Roll Luncheon.  The luncheon will be held on Wednesday, May 4th at 11:30 a.m. at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha.

The students who will be recognized were chosen from 8,300 8th grade students at 57 Metro-area schools.  Teachers and administrators selected the students based on criteria provided by Rotary.

“Each of the 425 students we will recognize at our luncheon should be proud of their accomplishment,” said Sean Olson, President for the Rotary Club of Omaha (also known as the Downtown Rotary Club).  “They were selected based on their leadership, character, scholarship and presence.  Downtown Rotary is proud to honor these hard working students.”

This year’s Rotary Honor Roll speaker is actor, comedian and magician and Omaha native, Pat Hazell.  One of the original writers for NBC’s Seinfeld and a Tonight Show veteran, Hazell is a critically acclaimed playwright and a contributing commentator to National Public Radio.  He now resides in Austin, TX, but will be returning to Omaha to share his thoughts on leadership and getting involved in something you’re passionate about.
