Rotary Weekly Updates

Hi All,

Break out the sweatshirts and sweaters, fall has arrived.  It's supposed to be a beautiful weekend; I hope you get a chance to get outside and enjoy some sunshine & cool breezes.

What fun to see Jack Cole's smiling face again - you were missed!  David Esposito's master style was a kick, and WOW - Dave Ekhart's astronomical knowledge blew me away!  Libby and Tony staffed the greeter's table (and Jason Marschall, didn't I see you welcoming people too!), and I heartily appreciate your willingness to follow me in song.

Couple things:

• Please join me at the Rotary Fall Training on Friday, September 26.  The Heritage center is beautiful and I can guarantee plenty of coffee and great conversations.  Please see the flyer below.
• Please introduce yourself and welcome our new foreign exchange student from Bogota, Columbia - Angelina Cristina Ortiz, who is staying with the Schleif Family.
• Don't forget to use your "Free Lunch" cards - invite colleagues, business leaders...to attend a meeting

We welcomed District Governor Jim Nelson this past Tuesday.  It was a pleasure to hear of his travels and personal connections to Rotary projects in Honduras and beyond.  I echo his sentiments and encouragement to support the Rotary Foundation.  FYI: Over half of our club did not contribute last year.  Please...consider making a contribution this year - every dollar counts!

Next week we welcome Tom Pitschneider presenting "Tips and Tidbits from Shakopee's Fire Marshall" - a burning topic (sorry, couldn't help it - must be channeling Harold).  Alan Spillers, Charlie Sunder and Kevin Studnicka will be the smiling faces at the greeters table, Tony Spagnolo will try to surgically remove a few bucks from your wallets, and Mark McNeill returns to regale us with his golden throat and ringing guitar.

Cheers,
Kathleen Klehr - President
