Ryan Seibert talked about the efforts of Bob Roepke to raise funds and solicit sponsorship for the music festival. The goal is to cover the fixed costs through donations so that the proceeds from drinks and raffle tickets will be profits. Members can invite others to help with all the work that will be required for the event, and a sign-up list has started. Categories of participation: Setup, Drink Tickets, Identification and Wrist Bands, Drink Service, Raffle Ticket Sales, and Cleanup.

The raffle ticket sales will end with the drawing at the last regular Chaska Cubs baseball game in July. The prize will be $5,000. Bob Roepke noted that the ticket sales and sponsorship requests are meant to raise funds and to also align our club with businesses and other service groups.

Phil Solseng presented the Neva club flag from St. Petersburg in Russia. Two of our exchange students have come from there – Olga Kotelnikova in 2002 and Danil Koralev in 2015.
