Breaking News! (I've always wanted to write that).

Thank you Todd for caring for all of those kids over all of those years. We wish you continued success in your next pursuit.

Thank you to Skyliners Jodi May and Stacey Johnson for providing lunch. Chris Sward's Fellowship was a little fun arm twisting to recruit members to bring lunch one Friday per month. Chris will put those who volunteered on the Club Calendar. The Club pays the cost of the food. Have Judy write a check. Mark will bring the drinks. Thank you Chris. 
 
Michael Ritland who is a Wealth Advisor started the discussion about the history of Frandsen Bank which was started by Dennis Frandsen in Luck, Wisconsin in 1982. Luck is a little north of St. Croix Falls. Frandsen's assets are currently $3.5B with 39 locations mostly in Minnesota in smaller towns. President Brian Shelton complimented the Hermantown bank as being one of their highest preforming banks and Jodi and Stacey as top bankers. Their presentation ended with a quiz for the investors in the group. Thank you to Stacey, Jodi, Michael, and Brian for a great prersentation. 
 
March is Rotary International Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Month.
