Rotary Bingo at the Slice of Shoreview was another success due to the 17 active and 2 honorary members who volunteered their time and bingo expertise. Thanks to all who volunteered but especially to Ken Hola who was at every session over three days and who is clearly the maestro of bingo. Ken went way above Service to Self again. Bingo proceeds go to help the club fund our activities and Rotary Healthy Youth Foundation programs.
The 3d Annual Taste of the Hops craft beer tasting and fund raiser will be held at Snail Lake Park in Shoreview on Thursday, August 15, from 5:30 to 8:30 pm. Rotarian will need to help do set up for the event at the large pavilion and staff the event itself. Ken Hola is asking all of us to sell as many tickets as possible so we can Pack the Park!
Those attending will be able to sample beers from 6 craft brewers: Bent, Fulton, Granite City, Insight, Lake Monster and Urban Growler. Included in the ticket price is food catered by Creative Catering including bratwurst and a vegetarian bratwurst. The Shoreview Lions Club will partner with our club and will serve the food at the event. There will be music and games including a wine bottle toss for the wine drinkers. There will be other games, a raffle and a silent auction with many attractive prizes. Northern Soda Company will provide soft drinks for designated drivers. The Taste Committee has been hard at work for months under Ken Hola's leadership to put on a fun evening and to increase ticket sales and attendance for our major fundraiser.
Be sure to patronize our brewers, vendors and sponsors. Don't forget to mention how much you appreciate their involvement in the Rotary Taste of the Hops. Their contributions are vital to the success of the event.
