ASSEMBLY TABLE SET UP, BASKET COMPLETION CHECK, ASSISTANCE LOADING VEHICLES, AND TEAR DOWN HELP WILL BE WELCOMED. Wednesday, November 27, 11:30 am to 1:30 pm members of the Rotary Club of Edina and Edina Morningside Rotary Club, will prepare and deliver Thanksgiving meals to 85 local families in need. A roasted turkey, stuffing, cranberries, potatoes and gravy along with vegetables, oranges, even a delicious pie, make their way to area homes via active Rotarians and their families. With a side of warm knit mittens to help with the coming winter, these Thanksgiving Baskets bring some brightness and joy into the holiday season.
At the moment we have filled all the delivery positions, but we can always use help, especially in the areas of set up and tear down of the assembly tables. Please email Tom Cook at thomascook12@me.com and let him know if your haven't registered and are interested in helping in these areas.
Join your Rotarian friends at The Dakota on Monday, December 16th, at 7:00 p.m There are 20 seats in the dining area reserved for Rotarians to attend and sit together. The seats in the dining area do not provide the best view in the venue, but you can sit with fellow Rotarians. You are always welcome to purchase your own tickets and sit wherever you like.
If you would like to attend and sit in the dining area, please email me and let me know your name and number of tickets. If you are on the list, you can show up to the concert, check-in, and pay at the door ($30/ticket).
