As Minnesotans, we cherish our lakes, rivers, forests, animals, the clean water we drink and canoe on. Hence, the topic of climate change attracts a great deal of interest.

(Note: This meeting replaces our May 1 regular MCOL meeting.) The event is being co-sponsored by our Club along with St. Paul Sunrise and the Roseville Rotary Club. Grounded in the Rotary Four-Way Test, this community forum will present climate science’s latest findings, impacts and urgency.

Paul Huttner, Chief Meteorologist, MPR;
Alan Anderson, Northfield Rotary Climate Action Team; 
Kathryn Hoffman, CEO, Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy; 
Nicole Rom, Executive Director, Climate Generation: A Will Steger Legacy; and

Young learners enjoying new resources in the classroom
The Minneapolis City of Lakes Foundation provided $1,500 to Joyce Preschool in south Minneapolis to support reading and related learning tools for the 3, 4 and 5 year olds. Supplies and books were purchased in both English and Spanish and these young learners and their teachers are excited to have these new resources to inspire learning in their classrooms. Thanks for your support of the Minneapolis COL Foundation, we are able to continually support great organizations like Joyce. Thank you!

ACT United Conference
Posted by Chad Eslinger on Feb 17, 2019
On Saturday, February 16, City of Lakes Rotary Club participated in the 4th Annual Community Awareness to Action conference. The event was a great success, with over 200 participants getting in-depth presentations from survivors of human trafficking as well as the caregivers and support organizations that engage them.  Our club was also a key funder of this event.
 
Every year this conference brings in area professionals, community members, parents, and grandparents who have taken a step to learn more about human trafficking in our communities, and many become inspired to turn that awareness into action by meeting with our local businesses, organizations, and ministry representatives.
