Kick-Start is Ten Years Old!

Tenth Anniversary Activity for All Members
Eagan Kick-Start Rotary is celebrating our tenth year! In honor of this, we are asking each member to invite ten guests to a club meeting with complimentary breakfast during this Rotary year which ends June 30, 2025. To help make this easier, especially for introverts, please pick up ten guest invitation cards from our Sergeant-at-Arms when you check in.

Tenth Anniversary EKSR Foundation Challenge!
The Eagan Kick-Start Rotary Foundation has set a goal to raise $10,000 by December 31, 2024 in honor of our club’s tenth anniversary. Challenge gifts totaling $5000 are available to match the first $5000 contributed by club members. Gift envelopes are available at each meeting from the Sergeant-at-Arms. Proceeds support the numerous nonprofits selected by our foundation board. Thank you in advance for your generosity!

Welcome, President Derek Schilling!

Eagan Kick-Start Rotary has installed its tenth president, Derek Schilling, for the Rotary year beginning July 1, 2024. Derek grew up in New Ulm and earned a degree in geology, with a paleobiology minor, from St. Cloud State University. He has worked as an environmental consultant for the past 23 years, currently as an Associate Director and Principal Scientist at Braun Intertec Corporation with a specialty in developing market pursuits, specifically around affordable housing.

Derek and his wife Laura (also a Kick-Start Rotarian) have been married 25 years and live in Inver Grove Heights with their two dogs, Rowdy and Bruno. They love to travel, especially taking cruises.

Derek intends to build upon the accomplishments of outgoing president Marie Olson and other past presidents in growing club membership while re-energizing engagement and celebrating the contributions of existing members, and continuing to promote the club’s successes and partnerships in local media.

Have a great year, Derek!
