FINEMASTER + HAPPY DOLLARS
 
Ken Hiller gave each table a riddle placed in an envelope (wrapped in an enigma?) If your table had the answer, you got to watch as others put money into the collection pig. Jodi Hesse responded to Vic Benetti’s request for a Finemaster next week.

Happy Dollars were provided by Steve Wein, Matt Podhradsky and
Sheryl Hough.
 

ROTARY EXCHANGE STUDENT - Natasha Palmelund
 
Natasha summarized her fun for the past week. It included eating at a Diner in Minneapolis, seeing the U of MN, travelling north to the Mississippi headwaters in Itasca, and visiting St. John’s University.

PRESENTATION: 
Amy Gallagher – The Firefly Sisterhood
 
Cindy Anderson introduced Amy Gallagher, the Executive Director of The Firefly Sisterhood. Her organization’s mission “is to foster one-to-one connections between women impacted by breast cancer and inspirational survivors and thrivers that serve as their Peer Mentor Guides.” Their goal “is a future where no woman faces breast cancer alone.”
 
 
We were shown a YouTube video that presented women discussing their cancer diagnosis and beneficial experiences with the Firefly Sisterhood. Amy shared her personal journey and the efforts made by the volunteer mentors in the Sisterhood.
