Amanda Bloomgren reminded us of the Llama-Rama event on October 8. Michelle Kraus reminded us of the Wine Tent that will benefit our club.
FINEMASTER + HAPPY DOLLARS
Kevin Hegland stepped up to the challenge of Finemaster. He showed a professional lack of remorse as he fined Nate Bostrom, and Amanda Bloomgren and then prompted wallets to be emptied from the tables unable to provide correct Trivia answers. Happy Dollars were donated by Mike Fahey, Kevin Eide, and Amanda Bloomgren.
ROTARY EXCHANGE STUDENT
Natasha shared her wonderment at the spectacle of Powderpuff Football at Chaska High School. Also, a visit to the “World’s Largest Candy Store” down highway 169 in Jordan, a horseback ride, and joining the high school’s Key Club project at Victoria Elementary filled out her memories for the past week.
PRESENTATION:
Ryan Siebert, Chaska Police Chief
Responding happily to a request to fill in for an absent speaker, Ryan shared his experiences and changes since he started in his role back in April 2020, and his thoughts about his department and the city in the future. Ryan praised the Police Department staff and support from the community. His “top of the list” accomplishment is the increased emphasis on crisis intervention that provides alternatives to armed confrontation. Other highlights included a strong partnership with the Southwest Metro Drug Task Force, the Community Service officers, department interns and School Resource officers. Ryan noted the challenges of maintaining a strong relationship with the community, growing the services provided, and recruiting and retaining staff.
