Area 3 Rotary Veterans Luncheon

The annual Area 3 Rotary Veterans Luncheon is set for Veterans' Day, Friday, Nov. 11, at Bearpath Golf and Country Club, 18100 Bearpath Trail, Eden Prairie, MN 55347. Registration begins at 11 a.m. with live music, with the luncheon beginning at 11:15 and concluding at 1:15 p.m.

Our club is one of eight southwest metro Rotary clubs in District 5950 to sponsor this special Veterans Day Luncheon to honor those who have served our country. The keynote speaker at the luncheon will be Brigadier General Sandra Best. She was named the first female general in the history of the Minnesota National Guard earlier this year. Emcee of the luncheon is General Denny Schulstad, U.S. Air Force (retired), a member of the Rotary Club of Edina. 

Each Rotarian may invite up to two veterans as guests of our club, and Senior Active and Honorary Rotarians who are veterans may attend free of charge. Cost for guests that are not veterans will be $25. Payment can be made at the door, or charged on members' next quarterly invoice. The Veterans Luncheon will take the place of our club's regular meeting that week, so there is no additional charge for regular Rotary Club of Edina members to attend. Senior Active or Honorary members who are not veterans will be charged the usual $20.

If you and/or your guests are veterans, we would like a military photo for the slide show, which will be shown before the meeting. Please email photos to President-Elect San Asato. If you have previously submitted photos of yourself or guests for the Veterans Luncheon slideshow, there is no need to send the photo again. 

There is no Rotary Club of Edina meeting on Thursday, Nov. 10. 

Sign-up for the event has closed. For more information about the Veterans Luncheon, contact San Asato.
