Hello Shakopee Rotary!

I hope you all didn’t put your winter coats and boots away just yet!  When I saw the forecast for tomorrow afternoon, into Wednesday, I quickly turned the TV to an old rerun of Saved by the Bell, as it was less painful to watch.  (I may have just dated myself there!). 

I want to thank Tony Spagnolo for his vocational talk and ice breaker.  I felt bad we were not able to make time for questions, but fortunately we get to see Tony every week, so feel free to pick his brain the next chance you have!  Also, I want to say thank you to Jackie and Ed Olson for joining us for lunch last week.  It was an honor to have them with us as we spent some time sharing memories of Dick Mertz.  Thank you to all members who shared their heartfelt memories and stories.  Finally, thank you also to Fran Heitzman for joining us last week, and getting the group all riled up for Bridging! 

This week we have two excellent programs.  First we welcome Chelsea Smith, one of our two camp enterprise students, who will be sharing her experience with us.  Welcome Chelsea!  Second, we welcome back to the podium our very own Jon McBroom, who will be giving the second part of his program on the Shakopee School Demographics.
