Last Week's Presentation
Invocation: David Brecht
Al Norby has been the Executive Director of Love INC for the past 3 years and was just getting familiar with his position when COVID struck. All the connections that had been established among the churches and charitable organizations in Carver County were tested against the pressures exerted by the pandemic. As people lost income, jobs and places to live, Al rallied resources and support to provide the compassion and unity that fulfills the mission of Love INC. He explained that gaps exist in the safety net for people who find themselves in need of the bare essentials. Love INC is non-denominational and provides help by consolidating donations and distributing them through the food shelf Bountiful Basket in Chaska and FurniShare, a furniture outlet in Chanhassen.
Finemaster and Happy Dollars: Dan Keyport played another episode of “Table Trivia” and focused on Saint Patrick’s Day, snakes, shamrocks, and parades among other topics. Dollars were happily donated by Mike Fahey, Ray Schalow and Erica Kennedy.
Michelle Kraus let us know that two high school students have requested funding for projects they have developed. Please let Michelle or Gretchen Oppriecht know if you want to contribute.
Keith Payne promoted participation in the preparation and production of the Pond Hockey tournament on January 26-29 in 2023.
Gretchen Oppriecht shared a happy Presidential Moment and announced that Jodi Kettler Hesse is our newest club member! Jodi is the owner of Olorin Business Solutions Inc., which offers Bookkeeping and Administrative services to her clients, which includes Rotary District 5950.
Her email: jodi@olorinsolutions.com; phone 612-616-1509; website www.olorinsolutions.com.
