ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
  • Jean Heyduck noted it was Juneteenth.  We observed a moment of silence with respect to the murder and assassination that occurred last weekend.
 
  • Bob Roepke called attention to the work of law enforcement responding to the murders, and specifically the actions of the Chaska Police and Chief Ryan Seibert’s statement in the Carver County Local News.
 
  • Neil Wingert gave a quick review of the presentation by the Metropolitan Council at the Chaska Event Center on June 18 and gave out cards identifying our area’s representative Deb Barber, phone 612-819-0848, email deb.barber@metc.state.mn.us.  Neil also reminded us of the upcoming Chaska PRIDE picnic on Saturday, held at McNight Park 3:00 – 6:00 PM.
 
  • Erin Kerber notified us that there are no confirmed host families for the inbound Exchange Student.  Erin repeated her request for volunteers to sell Raffle Tickets at several community events: Fire + Ice, River City Days, Carver County Fair, Carver Steamboat Days, Latin Music Fest, and the main event, our Music Fest. 
 
  • Our previous and outgoing Interns had a happy reunion.  Comparison photos below: today (L to R) John Goodman, Summer Mazhary, Madison Edwards, Sophia Pesina. From August 15, 2024: John, Sophia, Madison, Summer.  John has been attending University of Nebraska, and you may see him this summer at the Crooked Pint or Dahlgren Golf Course. Sophia has been at the University of Wisconsin and will be taking summer classes and earning at odd jobs – trying to graduate in 3 years.  Summer will be going to the University of Minnesota, looking at Pre-law or Pre-med.  Maddy will be Arizona State in Tempe, looking at Architecture.  You may see her at Kohl’s.

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.
