Rotary clock shines at Centennial Lakes Park
A clock dedication ceremony was held Tuesday, Aug. 12, at the Hughes Pavilion at Centennial Lakes Park. The dedication featured a few words from Rotary Club of Edina Past President Scott MacDonald, President Jeff Ohe, as well as Edina Mayor Jim Hovland.
It was a perfect night for the dedication ceremony of the Rotary Clock at Centennial Lakes donated by our Club.
Mayor Jim Hovland highlighted the long standing partnership between our Club and the City of Edina. He noted that thousands of people will pass by this clock weekly and will not only be able to tell the time but also see the logo of Rotary International. Rotary is a wonderful organization that provides so much service and support locally and world wide. He accepted the gift of the clock on behalf of the City.
Former Rotary Club of Edina President, Scott MacDonald, added that our Club is committed to service above self. We make a difference.
Jeff Ohe, current Club President, highlighted that our Club's signature project this year will be support for the new emergency room at Fairview Southdale Hospital. There will be more information on that in the months to come.
The clock was a signature project of our Club and is a gift given to the City of Edina in recognition of Edina’s 125th Anniversary and in recognition of our long-standing partnership.
