SEPTEMBER 13, 2016 PROGRAM:
Jonathan Padelford

COME ABOARD! St. Paul Rotary is taking a lunch cruise on the Mighty Mississippi River Tuesday, Sept. 13 aboard the authentic sternwheeler Jonathan Padelford. Rotarian Capt. Jim Kosmo will tell why St. Paul (and Minneapolis) owe their very existence to riverboats and give some details about the Padelford Packet Boat Co. and its feisty founder, Capt. William D. Bowell, Sr.

The Boat will stay at the dock until 12:30 p.m. to accommodate late arrivals and it will return at 1 p.m.  There is FREE PARKING at the Padelford Landing in Harriet Island Park, just across the Wabasha St. Bridge.  Capt. Jim says there will be a dozen VALUABLE DOOR PRIZES. And, of course, there will be a full CASH BAR to complement lunch.  This is a regular Rotary meeting so there is NO ADDED CHARGE FOR LUNCH.

Pre-registration is not required, but feel free to add your name to the list at this link.

Volunteer for Rotary Meeting Teams!
Calling all Rotarians!
 
Based on the great set up done by Michael-Jon Pease, we are continuing the use of SignUp.com (previously known as VolunteerSpot.com) to help in managing the volunteer positions we need to fill for each of our upcoming Rotary meetings.
 
So the answer to "how do I get to help out at the meeting?" is "follow this link and sign up."
 
 
Or call me at 612.414.6093 (for those of you who prefer the phone).
 
You do not need to create yet another login and there are no passwords to remember! Just follow the link, confirm your email and start signing up for meeting teams. SignUp.com will send you reminders, and will let me know where the needs are for upcoming meetings. Attention new members: serving as a greeter and taking the microphone, either to offer the inspirational moment or to introduce guests and visiting Rotarians, is an excellent way to network and get your face in front of the club!
 
We are urging every member to sign up for a few spots in any of the roles available. Through SignUp.com you can view the open spots for all upcoming meetings in any of the 6 roles and sign-up for what best foryour schedule and what you would enjoy. It’s easy to sign-up and everyone's help makes us a stronger club.
  
Thank you for whatever you can do to make our weekly meetings a great experience!
