This week at Rotary:

Ibrahim Khalif led fellowship and gave Rod Mahler an opportunity to tell the club about the history of our "Happy Dollar Cup" which came from his hardware store in the early 1970’s.
Dick Huston informed the club that the U of M won a gold medal for dance.
Ellie Roman was a guest of Nort Johnson. She is the development organizer for Big Brother Big Sister.
Greg Ciesluk shared about his cruise he went on with his wife.
This week the Historical Society hosted the first Riverside Rendezvous- a reenactment of French fur traders. The event was focused on school aged attendees for Thursday and Friday and then was open to the public over the weekend. If you didn't get a chance to attend this year, be sure to visit next year. It was a very educational event. There were several interesting vendors selling treasures, Steam Powered coffee (which, essentially is regular coffee) by Rambling Goat Coffee, basket weaving, wool spinning wheels, fur, fry bread, blacksmithing, tomahawk throwing, and MN Jack Sparrow who shared an in-depth history of piracy and the golden age of sailing. This, and so much more. Congrats on an amazing event!!
