"A pair of Rochester Realtors are making Amazon's Alexa voice-controlled devices "smarter" with new real estate features for local users. Zoey Jantsan and Charlie Saballa of Edina Realty recently created some new "Skills" or application features that can be used via Alexa devices. They believe these are the first real estate-focused Skills to be introduced in Minnesota." (Post Bulletin, Jeff Kiger, jkiger@postbulletin.com, Aug 1, 2019, Updated Aug 1, 2019)

By now you must have August 30 circled on your Rotary Calendar, right?! If not, why not? As mentioned in the Rotary year kick-off video (https://rotary5960.org/Stories/rotary-connects-the-world), the Rotary Blitz is coming to the Minnesota State Fair! Now is the time to make plans to join with Rotarians from Districts 5960, 5950, and 5580.
We need you and yours (families encouraged) to build a blitz with hundreds of our upper Midwest Rotary Family. And what better way to throw a party than at the "Great Minnesota Get-Together!" We are not the only ones that recognize how spectacular this annual must-go event is. Newsweek recently honored it as the sole North American entry [“Americana at it’s best”], in late summer worldwide festivals.
