Rotary Minute
 
Cathy C - We are so much more than a collection of clubs. It puts us in touch with millions of others who also want to make a difference in the world. That kind of energy can spread exponentially. Last year, a CA club didn’t have enough money to finish a project they wanted to complete. They partnered with another Rotary club organization to work collaboratively. This is happening all over the world. Coming together to build friendships that bridge everything that brings us together to make the world a better place. That is who we are.
 
Announcements
 
Jennifer S. - North High School: Free Bikes for Kids spots available for Thursday, May 20th.

Chris Rosenlund - Polio update: check for Minnetonka Rotary from Mac Hardin over $5002! Chris divides and fills out paperwork for everyone. Minnetonka Rotary has been the most generous ever - doubled from last year to over $102 per person! $2000 shy of what’s needed in a few months for Rotary International. We lead, on average given per member, we are roughly 2x over the rest of the clubs in our district. Great year for fundraising to eradicate polio! “What have you done for us lately?!” HA!
