Eagan Kick-Start Rotary has committed to sponsoring one night of the Emergency Winter Shelter when it locates to Easter Lutheran Church in Eagan 2/17-3/17/2018. All proceeds collected from Happy Bucks at our weekly meetings in December and January will be earmarked for this cause; the club will make up any shortfall.
On Thursday Dec. 7 Eagan Kick-Start has committed to providing a team of six (or seven!) volunteers to The Open Door to assist in client grocery shopping and checkout. Clients arrive beginning at 5:30pm; volunteers should arrive 20-30 minutes early for orientation.
Our November effort resulted in our six volunteers shopping, weighing, logging, and loading 1220 lbs. of groceries for 24 families!

The Cooks for Kids (CFK) Meal Providers program at Ronald McDonald House in St. Paul is a fun, flexible group volunteer opportunity that makes an enormous difference in the lives of families with seriously-ill children. Eagan Kick Start Rotary will send a team of volunteers to plan, prepare and serve buffet style meals to Ronald McDonald House families at the Ronald McDonald Family Room located inside Children's Hospitals & Clinics of MN, St. Paul. After a long day at their child’s bedside, families tell us that a hot meal served by friendly volunteers is a highlight of their day. Check out the Event Calendar for more details or to volunteer!
Quick! What do Kick-Start Rotarians Scott Erickson and Dave Verbeke have in common with Boris Yeltsin, Jonas Salk, Jimmy Carter, and Mother Teresa? All are Paul Harris Fellows - individuals who have contributed, or have had contributions made in their name, totaling $1000 to The Rotary Foundation. This recognition was established in 1957 to show appreciation for and encourage substantial contributions to the foundation. Since then over one million Paul Harris Fellows have been recognized. If you want to see your progress toward this goal, go to My Rotary and navigate first to Profile and then Donor History Report.
Eagan Kick-Start Rotary sent three representatives to the One Rotary Summit on Sep. 15 at the Earle Brown Heritage Center. Follow the link for the raw notes transcribed from the ideas generated that day. District 5950 will ultimately create a “toolkit” that offers a step by step approach to some of the ideas. As you use or implement ideas, please let Tom Gump know your experience.
