Aubrey Nicholson shared this week’s virtue of “Strength” after the pledge of Alliance and the Four Way Test were recited. 
 
In club announcements, Amy Amundson asked to have Roses orders in ASAP. You will be getting emails until you have placed your orders. Bravo to Grant Wilson and Eric Craig for leading the way with over 100 dozen roses sold.
 
Dr. Huston welcomed volunteers to his prairie to harvest seeds Wednesday, October 12th, at 5 pm. Please contact Dick if you can join. The seeds will be distributed to Crocker Creek this winter over the snow to seed in the spring. Our next Red Cross blood drive is on November 7th at 4th Ave United Methodist Church from 1-6 pm. 
 
In Fellowship, it was a pleasure to have former Sheriff Troy Dunn on Zoom. President Halverson shared a story of lightning bolts being shaved into the head of the former Sheriff in a throwback to the good old Vanilla Ice days of the 90s.
 
Many comments were made about the grand nature of the Lakelander’s barbershop choir concert to support the Ruth House and the Hope Center. Greg Ciesluk, a member of the Lakelander’s, shared they raised more funds than ever at this year’s concert.
 
 Erica Stab-Absher appreciated that the Faribault Foundation’s “100 women who care event” elected the Hope Center as the Winner of the $5,000 donation this past weekend.
