In the span of one week, Minneapolis City of Lakes Rotary Club members performed three community service projects in South Minneapolis.

 

We recently received a very kind thank you note from Junior Achievement North, celebrating City of Lakes Rotary Club's contribution to the JA LaunchU! cohort of female students. With the financial and volunteer support of Minneapolis City of Lakes Rotary, JA LaunchU! will be creating its first ever Female Founders cohort – fostering a creative, supportive, and inspiring environment for an all-female-student group. This cohort of 20-25 8^th-12^th grade students will embark on their 26-week program between November 2021 and May 2022. 

 

Exciting news! We needed to bring two cars this afternoon to pick up all of the hats and gloves that City of Lakes Rotary ordered this year for our annual Warm Hands, Warm Heads, Warm Hearts project.

The City of Lakes Rotary Club is excited to be meeting at its new location, the Woman's Club of Minneapolis, starting in August. The Woman's Club is an elegant venue overlooking Loring Park in the heart of Minneapolis. The story of the Woman's Club began more than a century ago when a group of extraordinary women set out to create a beautiful space in which to gather, connect, educate, inspire, and improve the world around them. Today, the Woman's club is enjoyed by women and men of all ages and backgrounds to work as a positive force of good in our community.

Huge thanks to Jonathan Hobbs for helping to put together our new City of Lakes Rotary Club Impact Statement!
