Events

What are the current issues?  And what is Minnesota and our greater community’s response? Robin will be with us to share positive advancements and the future challenges we are facing. Please plan to attend this important presentation.

Regular Monthly Meeting (Hybrid)

To support de-escalation efforts in response to critical incidents, and in alignment with recommendations from after-action reports from recent civil unrest experiences, communities from across the seven-county metro area have come together to form a Fencing Consortium. This coordinated effort provides agencies of all sizes access to the fencing in response to no-notice, critical incidents while efficiently sharing resources across multiple jurisdictions in an organized manner. Anti-scale fencing allows for the establishment of designated spaces for protesting which will support the expression of the first amendment right to protest while also protecting government facilities, first responders, and members of the public from violent and destructive actors. Come hear more!

Hello Brewtarians:

Join us this month and invite others, bring guests. Enjoy the company.  You don't have to be a Rotarian to join Brewtarians (but expect to be asked to join!).  You don't have to be a member of Minneapolis Club 9 either.   

GOOD NEWS — Community Emergency Service (CES) no longer has a restriction on the number of COL Rotary Club members and guests who can participate in our bi-monthly food shelf event. So make plans now to join us!. This will be a post-Covid continuation of our family friendly, bi-monthly food shelf volunteer event where we will pack food and sundry items in accordance with the “shopping” lists of approximately 140 of CES’s home delivery clients. Masks will NOT be required, but are optional for participants.
 
The event will start at 9:00 AM and should conclude sometime between 10:30 and 11:00. No need to register.
 
Parking is available in the small lot behind the building or on 19th Street. Please enter the building from the entrance off of the parking lot (the door is sometimes locked, so you may need to ring the bell). CES’s address is 1900 11th Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55404 (corner of 11th Avenue South and 19thStreet). 
 
If you plan on attending and wish to bring food or sundry items to donate, please feel free to do so. They are usually low on coffee and tea, both of which are available in $1.25 packages at Dollar Tree. Canned tuna and chicken are always welcome, as well. They also accept pet food and litter for their pet food shelf. CES will provide a receipt to you for your donation.
