We were pleased to induct Jason Young as our newest Skyline Club member. Jason is a transfer from the Superior Club due to his new position with the Depot Foundation. Jason and his family are Hermantown residents. Let's all introduce ourselves and make Jason feel welcome. 

 

Our presenter was Mike Waldron, Founder and Executive Director of the 23rd Veteran. Mike is a Marine with three years of service. His life purpose is in serving other veterans. The mission of the 23rd Veteran is to provide happier, healthier lives for veterans living with trauma. The 23V Recon Playbook was developed as a 14-week full-exposure and holistic approach to removing the negative effects of trauma. Graduates of the program report returning to the workforce, healthier family lives and making stronger contributions to their communities. Thank you Mike for your service and your commitment to Veterans through your work with 23rd Veterans. We look forward to working with you at this year's Dragonboat Festival.   

  

Tom Meyer is working on a design for a Ronald McDonald House Pop Tab public area collection box. When he has it designed we will build it. Thanks Tom for taking the lead on this.
