Hello Shakopee Rotary! 

I don't know about you, but I was starting to get used to looking at the muddy/brown melting snow and slush.  Well, back to square one... 

I want to thank Jim and Mary Cook for providing from what I heard was second to none entertainment at the annual Valentines Day Dinner Event!  I also would like to thank the Laurents for their generosity in hosting the event out at Stonebrooke...I heard the food was excellent!  If there are other thank you's to hand out from the event, I will catch you in our meeting, as I was unfortunately unable to attend the dinner.  This week we welcome in Kathy Kacher, who will be speaking on "When Work Works".  Welcome Kathy!

 

Book Sale Update:  Reminder, we are in "Full Book Collection Mode" at this time.  If anyone needs a collection sign and tub to put out at their place of work, please contact either Rob D. or Mike S.  We will be opening the doors to our location for drop off's and sortings in what appears to be the first week of March....more updates to come.   Any questions related to the book sale, please contact Rob D or Mike S.  THANK YOU EVERYONE!
