Edina Rotarians, family and friends were ringing at the red kettle for the Salvation Army in December! Here new member Joe Mahoney and Rotarian Toshie Metzger ring the bell at Lunds & Byerly's on France Avenue in Edina. Ringers also were at Jerry's Foods in Edina during the week of Dec. 17.Thanks to all our volunteers! And special thanks Dan Hallberg and Wayne Harmon for handling all the planning, details and bell hand-offs again this year!
Celebration and giving was in the air Nov. 21 when Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Edina and the Edina Morningside Rotary Club, along with family and friends, gathered at the Edina Country Club to assemble 80 Thanksgiving baskets. Then teams delivered the baskets to families in need in our community. The annual event was chaired again this year by Michael Stanzak, with help from Mary Hustad.
More than 100 Minnesota/Wisconsin high school students joined us at YMCA Camp Ihudhapi Nov. 1-3 for the 2018 Rotary Camp Enterprise. The three-day camp is put on by the Rotary Club of Edina and Rotary Club of Edina Morningside for students in Rotary District 5950 and Rotary District 5960. The students are all sponsored by area Rotary clubs, and learn about the free enterprise system. They work together, with the help of mentors and counselors, to come up with a business plan and presentation. And on the last day, five lucky students won scholarships!
This year's Camp E was chaired by Hein de Hoog of EMRC. Sam Thompson was marketing director for this year's camp. Special thanks to our many, many volunteers! We couldn't do it without you!
