We did it again!  We served 232 meals last Thursday at Loaves & Fishes.  Many thanks to all who attended.  When Sue and I were leaving @ 6:30, a young man was at the door asking for 10 meals.  Ruffo had those available.  What a great feeling to work this event.  Join us next time on the 5th Tuesday in May (30th) and/or the first Thursday of even months, June 1st.

Please welcome our newest member, Cody, Semo, from Neighbor's Inc.  Cody is replacing Susan Schroeder who's workload prevents her from attending meetings.  Thanks Susan for sending us Cody!

What a great turnout last Wednesday at the Copperfield.  Several members were present as well as these visitors:  Jeff Holland, Sue Hanson, Jack Overbye and past president Tom Atmore!  David Miller (xcskier54@comcast.net) is taking sign ups now for the Prior Lake Music Fest on July 14th and 15th.  Please let David know if you and some friends can work the event.  Our club earns $30 per hour for the time we can work.  Susan Hommes said it's really fun!  You get in free and the music is great!

If there is an organization which you are involved with and it needs financial help, please mention to a board member for consideration.  Board members:  Prez Don McCall, Alan Ruvelson, Bob Gullick, Dave Hanson, David Miller, Mark Landy, Susan Hommes, and Val Namen.

Mark your calendars for July 14th and July 15th from 5:00pm to 9:00pm.  We have a fundraising activity at the Prior Lake Music Fest.  Last year, working one night, our club earned $960.00.

Here's what we did at our March Board Meeting:

1 - We still have just under $7700 in the bank.

2 - We have a Meet & Greet April 5th at the Copperfield in Mendota Heights.

3 - Val Namen is using NextDoor to promote our Meet & Greets

4 - Loaves and Fishes is coming on April 6th.

5 - Mark you calendars for July 14th and 15th.  It's the Prior Lake Music Fest where we can earn money for our club. And the advertising is already on TV.

6 - Val has volunteered to co-president for the 2023-2024 Rotary year.  (BIG THANKS TO VAL)

7 - LIFT has replaced our district 5960 Fast for Hope.  More to come.

8 - Donated $100 to Rotary International in memory of Mike Lethert.

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.
