Meeting Recap - April 11, 2017

Dana Rebelein opened the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance and an Invocation.

 

John Risdall introduced his guest, David Vanneste of Vanneste Group Realtors.  Returning visitors were: Tom Pastor, Chiropractor and Ed James, President and CEO of Right Choice Delivery Services.  Both Ed and Tom have applied for membership in our club!  Also visiting was Marv Sorvala, a regular visitor from the Roseville club.

 

Dana Rebelein announced the Sunnyside Elementary PTA Carnival, Friday April 21st, 5:30-8:00PM. If you’d like to volunteer to help with the Carnival, one hour shifts are available from 5:15-6:15, 6:15-7:15 and 7:15 -8:15.  Call Beth Braun to sign up, 763-757-2203.

 

Dave Hoel offered up several large stuffed Easter Bunnies for auction to raise funds for the Egg Hunt. After several rounds of furious bidding, all the bunnies were gone and the Egg Hunt coffers were significantly replenished.  Thanks to all the bidders.

 

Geoff Hollimon let us know that we’ll be having two offsite meetings in June.  One road trip will be to Total Wine in Roseville for a Wine Tasting and the other will be a tour of the New Brighton Public Safety Building.

 

Jason Slama announced that we will have two students attending Camp RYLA this year.  Jason also offered to head up a Second Harvest Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive collection point if he can get 5-7 Rotarians to help with the effort.  The date for the collection is May 13th; let Jason know if you can help out.  Jason also will need several volunteers for the 4th Grade Foresters tree give-away on Arbor Day, April 28th.  The program takes just a couple of hours of your time and is a lot of fun.

 

Dave Hoel clarified the volunteer times for the Egg Hunt this Saturday at Driftwood Park.  All available club members should be at the park at 10:00 AM.  Tell your family and friends to be there by 11:00 to avoid parking hassles and meet the Easter Bunny.  Those members who will transport the eggs and prizes to the event should be at the parking garage at 9AM.

 

Dave Hoel also announced that the New Brighton Area Historical Society is presenting a program highlighting how New Brighton benefits from volunteer organizations.  David will be speaking about Rotary at the event.  Admission is free and there will be refreshments and a prize drawing.  Just show up at the New Brighton Community Center at 2:00 PM on April 27th.

 

Cindy Carlson and Mary Stewart debriefed the club about last week’s Gold Plate Dinner Gala Fundraiser.  We took in $10,090 in ticket sales, $3,625 in the Live Auction, $1,755 in the Fund-a Cause, $640 in the Mini-Raffle, $1,060 in Bingo, $850 in Split the Pot and $300 in miscellaneous donations.  Cindy reported net earnings of $20,211.64!!!  Well done Cindy, Mary and all others who helped to make the Gala such an overwhelming success.  Our 2018 GPD is planned for April 13th, so mark your calendars now so you don’t miss the fun.
