We had 3 excellent speakers in September!

Michael-Jon Pease – our District Governor with inspiring words about where the District and Rotary International is going – and some challenges for our local club.

Tom Murray – Shoreview author shared about his book “Sons & the Holy Ghost” and gave an interesting talk about writing a book and challenged us to ‘write our stories’.

Vince Darling – Our member/financial planner spoke Retirement and Tax implications of all those acronyms we try to remember. I think everyone came away with something to think about.

  • We ended the month strong with a 5th Tuesday Happy Hour at The Green Mill on the 29th and an Amazing Amazon tour on Wednesday the 30th.
  • Club members volunteered on the 12th and 26th at Floral Park in Arden Hills.
  • In the past month (or so) we have had members travel to Alaska, Argentina, and Brazil to visit Rotary clubs and experience other cultures.
  • Yes, we have a LOT going on. I’m looking forward to another active month in October and to hear stories about faraway lands...make to as many meetings as possible – hope to see you there in person or on zoom!
