You're invited to join the EHS Interact Club and volunteer at Feed My Starving Children in Eagan on Thursday, October 15th from 5:00-6:30 pm (990 Lone Oak Rd #136). This is a fantastic chance for Eagan Rotarians and the Interact Club to come together and make a positive impact, while helping those in need.

Note: Our EKSR Foundation supports this effort by providing a grant to FMSC on behalf of the Interact Club, and we're excited to see the impact of our collective efforts.

Let's unite to make a difference in the fight against child hunger!

Join us for a special Rotary meeting at the Eagan Civic Arena, one of the city's premier recreational facilities and a hub for community activity. We'll enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of the arena, learn about its operations, programs, and impact on the community, and hear how this facility serves thousands of residents through youth and adult sports, public skating, tournaments, and special events. And as a fun bonus, we'll even get the chance to try out the arena's bumper cars on ice! This is a great opportunity to gain insight into a valued community asset while enjoying fellowship with fellow Rotarians.

We are calling on 36,620 Rotarians and 964 Rotaractors across 11 states and 2 countries to take part in the World’s Largest Polio Walk — a powerful, visible demonstration of our commitment to ending polio forever. 

This is more than a walk. It’s a movement.

Every step taken helps raise awareness and support our collective goal of raising $1 million to end polio. Together, we are “This Close” to eradication—and this is our moment to push across the finish line.

How Clubs Can Participate:

• Invite members, families, friends, and community partners
• Wear your Rotary or End Polio Now gear
• Capture photos and videos to share on social media
• Use your voice to educate your community about Rotary’s fight to end polio

Our guest speaker, Shawn Monroe from TreeHouse, will lead an interactive budgeting simulation that challenges participants to make ends meet with limited monthly income. Through this hands-on activity, members will gain a deeper understanding of the obstacles families face and explore how community organizations can make a meaningful difference.  TreeHouse is a Minnesota-based nonprofit that equips and empowers teens to build resilience, develop life skills, and thrive through mentoring, support, and practical life preparation.

Steve Eckhouse and Dan Reed will share their remarkable kidney donation story and the life-changing impact of organ donation. Through their personal experiences, they'll discuss the challenges, emotions, and incredible generosity involved in the donation process, as well as the lasting connections that can result from this gift of life. Their inspiring story highlights the power of compassion, community, and the difference one person can make in the life of another.

Every patient deserves a chance at a life-saving match. Join us as we welcome Rachael Rich, Community Engagement and Events Coordinator at the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) and Master of Public Health, as she shares how NMDP connects patients with marrow and stem cell donors, supports families through the transplant journey, and helps save lives every day. Learn how you can make a difference through this important mission.
