Jennifer S. - 10 of us helped at ‘Mulch Madness last Thursday, mulched 30 trees at Gro-Tonka park. We got our hands dirty, and cooled off a few with a cold beer later. This can become an annual service event.

Happy Bucks
T here were many and came fast today.
Bill S. - will be gone at the lake next week. A customary roar from the club
Don C. - $8 each to Alexa and Alissa for taking attendance while he’s in Europe. $1 for Lenny’s evil OSU sticker
Ron U. - for Mary back to walking after not being able to for a while, following a fall. Great news, Mary!
Valbona B. - for the Women’s World Cup Soccer games now, and the hopeful US team’s usual success.
Mike G. - for the Gro-Tonka project, and asks that some may join to his Craft Distillery basket team.
Lenny N. - for Ben speaking today, and for the KARE 11 report on Cathy’s rare blood donation ability.
Mark Magney - for his whole family here from CA and ID around the 4th. Fun times.
Alexa R. - for Nolan (missed the reason), and for discovering that “Old people that help people” are in fact Elks, not Rotarians. (But if the shoe fits, I guess we’ll wear it too!).
Cathy C. - for her ability to help many by giving her very rare blood type. We should ALL be tested; some of us may be rare too, and that blood goes directly to children, immediately.
Nate R. - for his 20th HS class reunion recently, and a daunting round of golf at Hazeltine.
Tony N. - for his good friend’s Ladybug painting recognition. By the way, it’s at 9th Ave and 2nd St North in Hopkins. Also, a family fishing trip starting Friday
