Rotary rocks at Fundraiser & Gala!

 

Saturday night, Sept. 29, 200+ Rotary Club of Edina members and guests celebrated Rotary at our annual Fundraiser & Gala. It was a fantastic night of fun, food, music and fellowship. We even saw Rotarians dance...late into the night to the sounds of Ronny Loew, Kimberly Michaels and JayBee!

 

The financial results are not finalized but all indications look good. A final report will be issued shortly. A special thank you to all 58 of our gala sponsors for helping us reach our financial goal! And our club gives a HUGE THANK YOU to our event chairs Jody Kern and Kip Peterson, and their fabulous committee of volunteers. It was the best Rotary Party ever! Enjoy these photos (more if you click below), and visit the Club Facebook page for even more photos from "Rotary's Got Talent!"
