PRESENTATION: Music Festival Planning + Training
 
Michelle Kraus, Keith Payne and Erin Kerber provided details about the Chaska Cares Music Festival so that the volunteers were ready for the big day on October 7.  Logistics, supplies, organization and ticketing procedures were reviewed. 
 
 
Guest Speakers Tami LaGow from Carver County Public Health, and Sgt. Chris Pesheck from the Chaska Police spoke about the need for accurate and complete confirmation of legal age.  The responsibilities of alcohol servers and the need for recognizing inebriation were stressed.  We had fun looking for the hidden fish on our driver license!

Upcoming Invocation
 
Note from John Roebke:  Invocations can be a faith traditional prayer, or a meditation, or inspirational verse or quote.  Brief 20 – 30 seconds.  Light-hearted is okay.  Option: focus on our Mission of Service Above Self.  Need an idea – Google Rotary Invocations.  Not a personal talent? Don't wait, tell me NOW, 612-790-7067, john.roebke@live.com.  I will be glad to name another.  If I forgot that you told me not a talent, please forgive me.  Remind me.  If not a good DATE, trade with a mate.
