Events of the past month

October 7  Noon   Speaker Kelly Nygaard from Discover Stillwater gave an interesting talk on Tourism in Stillwater: Exploring the economic benefits, strategies and goals of Discover Stillwater.

 

October 21 Noon

Jim Jacobson from the White Bear Lions Club was our guest.  He discussed a Bed Build project called, “Sleep in Heavenly Peace”. 

Paul Spilseth attended a Lowes Bed Build Community Event on Sept 6 in Oak Park Heights. About 20 volunteers helped process wood by cutting, sanding, drilling and assembling the parts into bed pieces and they were later delivered to families throughout our local area. It was a fun, hands on event to see piles of wood become 25 beds for those in need of them.

The purpose was to help build beds that will be delivered to families within our local communities. These beds are for families who have children aged 3-17 and do not have adequate sleeping arrangements. (ie. beds!). 

 

We will let club members know when the next “build” will happen next year.
