 Prez Greeting from Mike Votava

 
Thank you to all of you that attended our annual foundation update this week, and all of you who participate on the foundation board. If you were unable to attend, please take a moment to watch the presentation. What an AMAZING impact we’re having. The great part about our foundation update is we’re looking for feedback from YOU! Please talk to a board member with ideas, attend a foundation board meeting, or shoot me an email with your thoughts.
 
The Chanhassen 4th of July celebration is our biggest fundraiser of the year for our foundation. Connie started the wheels in motion this week. New to the club? Want to get more involved? Interested in growing our biggest fundraiser of the year? Please try something new and reach out to Connie to volunteer for a position!
 
Thanks to all of you that spend your time making our Rotary club what it is!
Mike
