FINEMASTER
 
Ken Hiller gave out envelopes to each table, with a “Simon Says” twist. Trivia questions were the challenge this week and naturally, wrong answers paid fines. The continental placement of Israel gave our geographers something to think about.
 
Happy Dollars were provided by Jean Heyduck, John Roebke, Ken Hiller
and Gary Goeman.
 

ROTARY EXCHANGE STUDENT - Natasha Palmelund
 
Natasha and her host family were taking a break from the Minnesota winter wonderland and visiting Arizona.

PRESENTATION: Cory Hepola
 
 
Lisa Anderson introduced Cory Hepola, founder of CSS Media, and former KARE 11 television personality and WCCO radio host. Cory asked us to identify attributes or capabilities that make us unique, and challenged us to use those special gifts to help others. He believes that Minnesota is losing the potential of its younger generations and we should be doing more to communicate how this state is a model of what is great in the USA.
 
 
 

Cory described his code for living a life that benefits the community and
those around us: Be Curious, Be Courageous, and Be Compassionate.
He provided examples of each characteristic and the benefits of critical
thinking and NOT having strong opinions on all issues. Cory believes
that the fear of failure restricts progress and suggested that we look
beyond our normal horizon and see where we can add value.
