🎉 Happy Birthday to Omaha’s First Lady, Dr. Viv Ewing! 🎂💐

Today, we celebrate an extraordinary woman whose commitment to Omaha can be seen in so many corners of our community. Dr. Viv Ewing serves as a Director of Downtown Omaha, Inc. and Project Chair of RiverFront First Fridays, helping bring together local businesses, artists, entrepreneurs, families, and community partners to create vibrant experiences in the heart of our city.

And that is only one part of the many endeavors and civic engagements through which Viv gives her time, energy, leadership, and heart to Omaha. Whether she is championing our community, supporting local organizations, encouraging others, or simply showing up where she is needed, she leads with warmth, generosity, and a genuine love for people. More importantly, Viv is a great Rotarian!

Viv, today we celebrate YOU! 🩷 May your birthday bring you the same joy, kindness, and encouragement that you so freely give to others.
