Interested in having a beer & getting to know Rotarians from several Minneapolis area clubs?  Stop by the next Brewtarian event!   

Come join us to volunteer at another Days for Girls Sew-a-thon sponsored by COLRC's International Service Committee, where we'll make feminine hygiene kits for girls in developing countries so they can continue to stay in school and have choices in their lives.  The World Health Organization says that the single most effective way to spend a $1 on global health outcomes is to educate girls and women.   As Days for Girls states, "Let's turn Periods into Pathways for girls around the world."  With your help, we can reach Every Girl. Period.

No sewing experience required.  Just bring yourself and training will be provided.   Feel free to invite others to this fun event.  Judy Johnson, Twin Cities Days for Girls Coordinator with the Maple Grove Rotary Club will guide us through the kit making process.  We greatly welcome those with sewing experience and willingness to bring their sewing machines to the event. 

David Hutchinson took office as the 28th Sheriff of Hennepin County on January 7, 2019. As Sheriff, David Hutchinson has focused on issues of staff and community wellness, community safety, and providing a workforce that mirrors the residents of Hennepin County. He is nationally recognized for his work on providing officer wellness and medication assisted treatment. In his first year as Sheriff, he created an internal wellness unit called Tri Wellness, in order to help his staff deal with the stresses of the law enforcement field. He firmly believes that keeping deputies mentally, physically and spiritually healthy will lead to better service for the public. At the beginning of his second year, he created two new divisions: The Community Outreach Division, and The Criminal Intelligence Division. 

He currently serves as Technology Chair for the Major County Sheriff’s Association, as well as serving as Secretary for the Major County Sheriff’s Association Foundation Board. He serves as a Board Member on the Minnesota Post Board, and he serves on Mayor Jacob Frey’s Violence Prevention Steering Committee. As Sheriff, he continues to strengthen relationships with Partner Agencies, as well as local Law Enforcement Offices. Serving as Sheriff is a true honor, and he is delighted to be invited to speak to all of you.

The Conservation Corps MN & IA engages youth and young adults in meaningful service, leadership development and environmental stewardship.   Each year, we select and train nearly 600 young people (ages 15 to 24), provide them with work-readiness skills- and career-building opportunities in natural resources and environmental stewardship, and restore and improve nearly 3,000 miles and 50,000 acres of public lands and parks in Minnesota and Iowa.

Public art is visible evidence of our shared humanity. It’s more than murals, monuments and memorials (and the occasional mime). Artists of all disciplines are engaging in cross-sector collaborations and social practices that address all kinds of issues and opportunities facing cities today, including the health of our communities. Jack Becker, founder and lead principal consultant at Forecast Public Art a 40-year-old nonprofit based in St. Paul—is recognized internationally for his pioneering efforts to make public art more public. He will share an overview of trends and issues in the field, and discuss recent efforts he’s led to help cities address health issues through public art.
