School supplies for Mexico-SCTIS
The Rotary Club of Maple Grove is so proud to be a sponsor of this marvelous organization and program that helps transform students into caring and compassionate leaders.  This program has been going strong for 20 years with the support and direction of Tammie Epley, who founded this organization.  Who would imagine that 5- Fifth graders from local elementary schools would collect funds to buy school supplies for children in Sasabe, Mexico a small community directly across the border from  Arizona?  These children cannot attend school without school supplies. They do not have access to general supplies due to the location of this small hamlet.
A group of adults and Rotary members travel to this area in April with the children to visit these children and celebrate the donation of supplies.
 
If you would like to donate to this worthwhile cause click  on the Donate to Foundation on the left tool bar.

We create FUN and LOVE!
Our members love to have fun and do that by making beds for children in need! This group of members came out to sand, nail and screw the parts together. We work on these during the fall and winter season to get them ready for distribution for children. We work with the CROSS services organization to identify those families in need.  If you would like to support this worthwhile cause feel free to donate using the Donate to Foundation button on the left. Or come out during the Maple Grove Days- Bed Races for some entertainment and donate during the event.
Thank you to our members for using their time and talents for this much needed project.
Days for Girls Service Project
Days for Girls Service Project
Judy Johnson the Days for Girls leader with the Maple Grove Rotary club assisted the Minneapolis City of Lakes with a sew-athon and kit building day on February 4th.  Fifty people helped make 300 feminine hygiene kits for girls in Kenya so they can continue to stay in school and have choices in their lives.  The World Health Organization says that the single most effective way to spend $1 on global health outcomes is to educate girls and women. The mantra for Days for Girls is "Let's turn Periods into Pathways for girls around the world".
 
Judy guided the City of Lakes members, family, friends and community members onhow to put these kits together. Everyone lent a hand to uplift these girls. The Minneapolis City of Lakes Treasurer , Sheila Gothmann presented a $1000 check to Judy to help the Maple Grove foundation continue this work around the world!
Thanks to all who participated in Imagining what the world would be like with these girls getting educated and making a change in their lives!
 
Rotary Awareness Day at the State Capitol
The first-ever Rotary Awareness Day was held Monday, January 30, 2023, at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. The event attracted approximately 100 Rotarians from three Minnesota districts. Thirty-six high school exchange students visiting districts 5950, 5960, and 5580 who are part of the NorthStar Youth Exchange — including Vernon Castillo, City of Lakes Rotary’s exchange student — enjoyed the tours, speakers, box lunches and many, many group photos with legislative leaders. 
 
Event organizer Katy Koch Campbell, of the Rotary Club of Edina, welcomed the visitors inside the historic building's vault, located under the central rotunda on the basement level. Visitors were impressed with the major renovation that was completed on the building built in 1905.
 
"The purpose of Rotary Awareness Day is to socialize, tell our Rotary story to legislators, and to hear from them about state efforts related to our programs and values," said Campbell.  Several Rotarian legislators stopped by to speak to the group including Rep. Heather Edelson (DFL-Edina) who discussed the process for introducing and managing a bill through the Minnesota House of Representatives.
 
The full day also included a guided tour of the Capitol and adjoining buildings; the opportunity to join the public gallery to view the Minnesota Senate in session.
The Heartbeat of RC Maple Grove
Our member Diane Confer always writes her words of inspiration to the club. This year, Diane was not able to grace us with her words so we are placing them here for the community to read.  Enjoy!
 
THE HEARTBEAT OF THE ROTARY CLUB OF MAPLE GROVE
The heartbeat of our club is its members and supporters- past, present and future. These committed people continue to produce an indelible footprint for good-creating a healthier planet for now and for generations to come.
Fueled by passion and compassion, our Rotary Club's members and friends imagine, inspire and serve. Our Club's legacy of joyful service and generous resources of time, talent and the sharing of our gifts, creates change for the good of those we serve and within ourselves. When a need is identified, the personality of our Club is characterized by the queries: What can we do? How can we help?
As we reach out to assist and uplift others, we too are elevated.  One of the great joys of helping others is the avalanche of happiness that we feel when a vision is actualized, or when a mission is accomplished.
