What's new this week?

What's new this week?

 

SPEAKER: Marika Dwyer

TOPIC:  Moms & Neighbors

Moms  & Neighbors is a non-profit organization of families and neighbors coming together in support of families and teens in need within the Apple Valley, Eagan & Rosemount communities. Their desire is to provide anonymous gestures of kindness - to families and teens who have suffered personal setbacks or other financial crises but are valiantly trying to improve their lives as well as those of their children.

 
We're Moving!
The club voted at the Club Assembly meeting last week and starting March 14, the Club meetings will be held at LaGrand Conference Center at GrandStay Hotel Apple Valley (7083 153rd Street West, Apple Valley, MN  55124).  Thank you everyone who attended meeting and voted.
We truly appreciate the service provided to our Club at Valleywood Golf Club for the past few years!

Days for Girls
Posted on Jan 13, 2018

days for girls

Help us ring in International Women's Day with our first ever Days for Girls event. We'll be creating re-usable sanitary kits to help girls around the world manage their periods.

The event will be on March 7 from 5-7pm at the Apple Valley Senior Center.

Why does this matter? The kits we make “have become a stigma eraser, a confidence builder, and a girl-power enabler.” A study in Bangladesh showed that 40% of girls reported missing at least one day of school a month due to menstruation. Days for Girls Kits build confidence and serve as a gateway to open vital conversations around health, safety, and leadership.

Details are still being determined, but add this to your calendar, now!

For more information, email DaysForGirlsAppleValleyRotary@gmail.com
Weekly Raffle Update

For the meeting of February 28, 2018 there are 6 cards and 2 Jokers. The pot stands at $1,652 ++!  Ticket donations are: $1 for 1 ticket; $2 for 3 tickets; $5 for 10 tickets; and $10 for 25 tickets. Three lucky winners are chosen each week; the first two tickets drawn win $5, the third winner draws a card from the deck in hopes of pulling an Ace to win a share of the pot.  If a joker is pulled, it will cost the winner a $2 contribution to the pot.  If the Ace of Spades is pulled, the pot is awarded equally to all who have pulled an Ace from the current deck, and the drawing starts over again.  Congratulations to  Bruce Nordquist for drawing the Ace of Hearts and Ed Corbett for drawing the Ace of Diamonds.  They are guaranteed 1/4 of the pot!
