4 - David Miller is looking into other volunteer events for our club.

5 - There will be a Meet & Greet at the February 1st meeting at The Copperfield.

6 - Mark you calendars for July 14th and 15th.  It's the Prior Lake Music Fest where we can earn money for our club.

7 - We're going to do the Rotary Rose fundraiser in April.  Details finalized at February board meeting.

8 - Look for an Harvest Pack packing event the last week in March.

President Don wisely cancelled our January 4th gathering because of the snow storm! We are now meeting at Neighbor's Inc. on March 1st at 7:30a.m.  Thanks to Susan Schroeder for hosting.  Here's more info:

The board is looking for creative fundraising ideas and a team to coordinate activities.  Maybe we'll see a pickleball tournament next summer?  Please contact any board member if you have some ideas.  Thank you!  Board members:  Don McCall, David Miller, Susan Hommes, Valarie Namen, Alan Ruvelson, Mark Landy or Bob Gullick.
