We will meet this Friday 6/5/2026 at the YMCA. We will start early at 11:00 working on the GAGA pit, then go inside for lunch, and then back outside to work again. If you have ratchet wrenchs with 1/2" and 9/16" sockets please bring them to help bolt the boards to the metal corner brackets.
Unfortunately I missed the publication in the newspaper of the obituary for Todd E Johnson. A great picture of Todd. Here is the link: https://www.duluthnewstribune.com/obituaries/obits/elliot-todd-johnson-5erxtm1ngrgbndunxjgl
The Twin Ports Inter-Club Council met on Monday. There are plans in the works for a joint Clubs picnic at Enger Park at noon on July 2nd, the World's Largest Polio Walk (part of an international effort) on October 24th, and Foundation Dinner on Wednesday November 4th at the Kitchi Gammi Club. The communication and cooperation between the Clubs is very gratifying. When DGE Peter Nelson from the Brainerd Noon Club heard that we were meeting he asked if he could attend and talk about his Strategic Plan for 2026-7. He asked the President Elects from the Clubs to attend. His Five Strategic Pillars inclue Youth Programs, Membership Innovation, International Projects, Polio, and the Foundation. He finished by asking us to attend the District Conference at Cragun's Resort October 2-4. It will be fun, family friendly, in a great place with good people, and a chance to learn more about our Rotary.
Fun fact. Mark and Jim randomly will end up going fishing this Friday at the same lake, for the same week, and staying at the same resort in Ontario. Great minds.
June is Rotary International Fellowships Month. It is dedicated to celebrating the international friendships, networking, and goodwill built among members who share common hobbies, recreational activities, and vocational interests.
Thought for the Week
"The fellowship of true friends who can hear you out, share your joys, help carry your burdens and correctly counsel you is priceless."
