Former RI President Ian S. Riseley challenged Rotary clubs across the globe to plant a tree for every member of our clubs in our local communities. Minneaplis Club #9 and Minneapolis City of Lakes Rotary joined forces to support the efforts of non-profit Mississippi Park Connection and the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, the National Park in the heart of the Twin Cities. Please join us on Oct. 26 as we move the trees that our members planted in the tree nursery last May into their permanent homes in the national park. The nursery (also known as a gravel bed) housed 250 bare root trees over the summer to receive the critical care needed to ensure their success once transferred to the ground in the park. Please contact Jodi Massey with City of Lakes or Jim Hancock with #9 to RSVP or to get more info. About Plant for the Future |

Public Art and Healthy Communities
Nov 27, 2019
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. |

"The Joys of Life"
Dec 04, 2019
William (Bill) Webb was the band director at Edina High School for 24 years. He taught band for 37 years in Minnesota at all levels, from elementary through college. In October this year, Bill was inducted into the Minnesota High School League Hall of Fame. Falling into the category of “you never know where life will take you,” in 2015 Bill was prescribed a strong antibiotic, Levaquin, for a simple sinus infection. After taking just 3 pills, Bill’s central nervous system had a horrible reaction to it, and he has been in a wheelchair since. Bill’s presentation will focus on various life challenges and more importantly, “The Joys of Life”. |

As a follow up to our Holiday Gift Drive donations received during our COLRC club meetings on 12/4 and 12/11, join us for a fun evening helping kids at the Boys & Girls Club Northeast location (address below) to help kids wrap gifts and shop for their families. It is important to register yourself and any guests for this event!
When: December 18th from 4pm – 7pm (for those who are able, you can get there as early as 2:00 p.m.) Where: Jerry Gamble – 2410 Irving Avenue North, Minneapolis What: Shop with kids; Wrap gifts; Assist with holiday crafts and cookies!
Kids Can Give ensures all Boys & Girls Club members have a joyous holiday season as they partake in the act of giving. Each December, Club members are asked to give a small $3-5 donation that will support a youth-driven holiday celebration at each Club. In return, each young person is able to shop for gifts for their families in the Kids Can Give holiday stores set up at each Boys & Girls Club. The holiday stores are filled with gifts that have been donated from community members and organizations.
It will be an incredible experience for all involved to see the excitement in the kids as they think of their loved ones and shop for special holiday gifts! Gifts are wrapped on-site with the help of staff and volunteers and are sent home with the kids just in time for the holidays. After our volunteering, we will then meet for happy hour to enjoy each other's company and pretend that we've been whisked away to an island location at Psycho Suzi's Tiki Bar. If you're not able to make the volunteer event, please feel free to join us afterward. psychosuzis.com
