Welcome to October. I’m sorry to say I think this means summer is just about over. But no worries, AHS Rotary will keep you informed and engaged with one interesting and important speaker after another this month.
October 6, Mary Stewart from Community Partners with Youth has been a key partner with the Northern Ramsey County Emergency Coalition, organized and managed by past club president, Kent Peterson. Mary will fill us in on the important work her organization is doing to relieve food and housing insecurity among young people in our area during the Covid-19 pandemic.
October 13, District Governor Ed Marek will join us for a visit and talk about his plans for the district and our club’s place in it this Rotary year. Ed is returning from a leave of absence in connection with the passing of his beloved daughter. Please be sensitive to this fact.
On October 20, during this time of social and political unrest, past club president Bill Klumpp brings us a timely presentation from Heather MacDonald, who will lead us in a discussion of the sensitive topics of Crime, Race, and Policing.
And on October 27, what could be more timely than Beverly Wadsworth’s talk about fundraising during a pandemic? Thanks to Al Ramos for bringing Beverly, her ideas and wisdom to us on this crucial topic at this difficult time.
