Minnetonka Rotarians rolled up their sleeves with Free Bikes 4 Kidz to help bring joy, mobility, and opportunity to local children. This annual volunteer event has become a beloved tradition—members look forward to it every year, not just for the impact they make, but for the laughter, camaraderie, and fun they share while working side by side. It’s service with a smile, and a whole lot of heart. Click Story Title to See more photos!
Breakthrough Twin Cities spoke to our Club and challenged us with a fun game of paper telephone! Club members were asked to draw pictures and describe pictures drawn by others. Lots of laughter. Breakthrough Twin Cities inspired us all to think outside the box and encourage others. Their work does both! Click Story Title to See more photos!
Ryley joined us to share her amazing experience at RYLA, the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards Camp—and wow, what a story! Sponsored by the Minnetonka Rotary Foundation, she dove headfirst into leadership activities, team challenges, and deep discussions that left her inspired and energized. It was clear how much the camp impacted her, and her gratitude for our support shone through. We’re proud to help young leaders like Ryley grow, and we can’t wait to see where she goes next!
