“Where there is a need, there is a Lion”

 

Events of the past month

May 1 Thursday 12PM        President Tom Hollatz arranged for Secretary of State, Steve Simon, to speak at our joint Rotary-Lions Law Day meeting.  As Secretary of State, he partners with township, city, and county officials to organize elections on behalf of Minnesota’s nearly four million eligible voters, and to ensure that the election system is fair. He was pleased with the recent election that had high turnout and low drama.

 

May 28 Wednesday 6 pm.  First summer picnic at Autumn Hills Park west of Boutwell’s Landing. Sue, Gary and Jon prepared a marvelous picnic dinner despite the cooler weather.  Thanks to all who helped.
