Loaves & Fishes is THIS Thursday, Apr. 5.  Be there at 3:00 to cook, 4:30 to serve and 6:00 to clean up. It's easy, it's fun and it's super rewarding! Check out the calendar for all the details.

Rotary Roses delivery day is Wed., April 25.  The sign up sheet is here and the order form is here!  Jackie is this year's chair. It's really quite simple, You tell people they need to buy roses for $15/dozen with a vase for only $2 more and you'll deliver them. It's an easy sell! Everyone is expected to sell 20 dozen or pay the profit we would have made if you sold them.  Jackie needs the orders in by April 13 so get going!

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. Please come - no shovels needed!
