Member Announcements
Starting the year off with good financial news! It was discovered by Joe that the Cloquet Rotary Club had not paid us for the peaches they received from us about $7,000.
Feb 2 @ 2 pm Rotarians Eating Food We will be headed to the Vermilion Club, 3191 County Road 77, Tower MN, to try our palate out on the World Famous "Bamboozler" 4 star rated pizza on Yelp and Tripadvisor. For those that are to full to drive home you are invited to stay at the 3 star (winter accommodations) Curtis Cabin, 4457/59 Moccasin Point Rd, just a short drive from the Vermilion Club. Five double rooms available plus a couple pullout couches. Bring your winter gear and get outside! For more info contact Chris @ chris.sward@amiengineers.com
Splash Pad Update – feedback needed
The feasibility committee is looking at MANY factors in making good, data-driven decisions on the splash pad question. All will be brought to the club, and I want to keep everyone continually informed.
Everyone (including me) is focusing on location, but we need to step back from that. The Duluth metro area is large enough to support 3-4 splash pads, but we need to be focused on the process.
Initially, we need a written mission/purpose as a guide for all decisions. That's our current task.
The committee discussed including a few items in the mission statement:
- Family-friendly, safe, healthy environment
- Reasonable public transit access
- Provide to under-served kids (this was defined differently than under-privileged)
- Work to maximize rotary contribution and visibility there
I would like to hear any other ideas from you our members (including what and why) to be discussed for inclusion in the mission. Let me know your thoughts, please.
