Jean Heyduck, representing our Charitable Giving Committee, presented grants from our club:

• Syn Robertson accepted $3,000 for Revitalizing Veteran’s Dreams . The mission: Revitalizing Veterans' Dreams does events to bring the community together and provide a safe space for veterans. We raise awareness of veterans' needs through our non-profit and guide them to beneficial organizations to help meet their needs. Syn was motivated to start this program to prevent isolation after a veteran friend committed suicide. She partners with the Chaska Veterans of Foreign Wars.  

• Lissa Weimelt accepted $2,000 for Maria’s Voice . Their mission: Maria’s Voice creates educational programs and collaborative partnerships to prevent domestic abuse. Lissa asked each of us to share her materials or message with someone else, to spread the word about her efforts to prevent domestic violence.
