We will hold a special informational meeting at our September 19th Thursday Happy Hour to educate and inform people about current international service projects and to brainstorm about what future projects could be done. We have a unique opportunity within Rotary to get our club donations matched from our District and The Rotary Foundation to increase the impact we have throughout the world (and locally).  Our club is currently working on projects in Bolivia, Rwanda, and Tanzania.  Additionally, we are always looking for more Rotarians to join our team.  Please come out and join the conversation.  

 

At 12:15 pm on September 10th, President Michael-jon Pease called the meeting to order at the Intercontinental Hotel. Al Zdrazil gave the inspiration minute, Sherry Howe was the greeter and Corey Edmunds introduced guests and visiting Rotarians. Linda Mulhern was the scribe for the meeting.

 

Happy Birthday was sung to 11 Rotarians with September birthdays by the club and Dick Nicholson celebrated his 32nd year with the St Paul Rotary club this month.

 

Deb Katzmark talked about the Rotary Rose sale. The Rose committee has asked members to sell flowers (3 different types of bouquets are available) and preferably pay online for the sales with pick up on 9/26 at the Van Paper warehouse located at 2107 Stewart Ave, St Paul. Money raised goes toward the St Paul Rotary Foundation which helps to pay for Camp RYLA in the spring. Three bouquets were brought in for display and were given to Bob Jones, John Chandler and Dick Nicholson for their years of service with the club.
