Rotary Club of Edina will have Vocational Day meeting at VEAP

The Rotary Club of Edina will hold a Vocational Day meeting at VEAP (Volunteers Enlisted to Assist People) next Thursday, Oct. 23. This will be in place of our regular meeting at the Edina Country Club. 

The Vocational Day meeting will begin at 12:15 p.m. with a short presentation by the VEAP executive director. After, small group tours of the facility will be conducted for Rotarians. A box lunch will be served.

VEAP is located at 9600 Aldrich Ave. S., Bloomington. Parking is limited, so please consider sharing rides with fellow Rotarians. Parking is available in the US Bank parking lot directly across Lyndale Avenue from VEAP. They request that we leave their parking lot open for their clients. 

VEAP founders believed that helping a neighbor in need ultimately strengthens the community. VEAP has been operating under this principle for over 35 years, providing a range of services to help low-income people meet immediate needs and reach their long-term goal of stability. Today, VEAP serves the residents of Bloomington, Richfield, Edina and South Minneapolis, utilizing a unique mix of professional and volunteer services.

Edina Rotarians should log on to the Club website and register if you wish to attend. This meeting is not open to the public. If you have any questions on registration or the meeting, contact Club Service Director Barbara Born.

Our next regular Rotary Club of Edina meeting is Thursday, Oct. 30, at the Edina Country Club. It is Prospective Member Day, and anyone interested in learning more about our Club can attend for free. We are recognizing and recruiting female members this month. For more information, contact Membership Director Josh Sprague.
