Sponsored by the Two River's Key Club:

Ericka gave us a real good talk about the new Crisis and Recovery Center being built in the parking lot of the Northern Dakota County Service building.  The site is near public transit, government services, shopping, community support programs and other amenities important to people who are accessing mental health services. This 16,000 square foot center will include 16 bedrooms with adjoining bath rooms, along with shared office space, laundry facilities, two kitchens, a shared living room, therapeutic and meditation rooms and more.  Residential services will be operated by Guild. All services offered are trauma-informed and focus on recovery. On-site staff include licensed mental health professionals, registered nurses, peer support specialists, therapeutic recreation specialists and a house manager. Ericka invited us to their open house on Feb 3 from noon to 3:30.  See invite below.  For more information go to https://www.co.dakota.mn.us/HealthFamily/MentalHealth/Adult/Pages/crisis-and-recovery-center.aspx.  Pictured with Ericka is Rotarian Jeff Holland.  Thanks for this interesting presentation Ericka.

Prez Val Namen and David Miller are heading up our club's Fundraising Committee.  Please let them know if you have any fundraising ideas and/or would like to join their committee!

The board would like to have local businesses present a 3 minute introduction to their company at each meeting.

Please let Dave Hanson know if you have someone and he'll add them to the meeting schedule.

One 3 minute presentation at each meeting would be the goal.

Thanks in advance.
