Rotary Roses delivery day is Wed., April 25.  The order forms will be available soon!  Jackie, along with help from Pete, will be organizing this fundraiser so watch for information soon and get ready to start taking orders!

We are so pleased to announce that Rachel Hughes has agreed to Chair Moonstruck this year!!  While no official proposal has been approved by the Board yet so the details still need to be worked out, Dodge Nature Center will likely be at least one of the beneficiaries of a portion of this year's proceeds from Moonstruck. Rachel will be putting together her committees shortly so be sure to raise your hand if you're ready, willing and able to help.  Thanks Rachel!

The District Conference "Conference of Clubs 2018" is coming to Mystic Lake April 19-20.  The event will kick off on Thursday night and then have all-day programs and speakers on Friday. It's a great way to connect to other Rotary Clubs, hear really motivating speakers and find new ideas on attracting new members, fundraising events and more!  The Club will pay your registration fee so there's really no reason not to go (just let Pres. Dave know you're interested so he can tell Bob so Bob can write the check - otherwise Bob gets miffed, especially during tax season. He's a bit testy)!  Go to the District Website www.rotary5960.org and click on the Events tab for more information. 

The St. Paul Sunrise Rotary Club, in cooperation with the Minneapolis City of Lakes and Woodbury Clubs, is sponsoring the 13th Annual Community Forum "Beyond the Political Polarization: Finding Common Ground for the Common Good" on Thursday, April 12 from 7:15-9:15 a.m. at the Town and Country Club in St. Paul.  These community forum programs have been fantastic and are highly recommended by Alan from our Club.  Click this link if you are interested in attending: LINK.

You know how Dave says to our speakers "We will plant a tree in your honor in one of our parks" ??  Well, WE MEAN IT! As part of Dodge Nature Center's Arbor Day Event, we will be planting trees (maybe not ONE tree per speaker, but close!) at the Dodge Nature Center on Tuesday, Apr. 24, from 5:30 - 8:00ish.  It's an EVENT, including a dinner, so please see the Events Calendar for details.
