Our club has supported the District Tree Planting project in partnership with Great River Greening. District 5950 will plant 3000 trees in the Crosby Farm Park in St. Paul on Saturday May 19. The planting will happen between 1:00-5:00pm. 75 volunteers are needed to assist with the project. If you would like to help, you can sign up directly at:
Our club contributed $10 per member to support President Risely's goal of planting one tree for every Rotary member worldwide.
There is another opportunity to plant trees on the North Shore on Thursday May 10 & Friday May 11 near Two Harbors, MN. This project is with the Nature Conservatory and they are in need of 20 volunteers. Steve Solbrack is organizing this event and you register by emailing him at steve@solbrack.com.

The North Star Youth Exchangeencompasses Rotary Districts 5950 and 5960 in southern Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin. Chair Mike DeLuca reports that at the recent North American Youth Exchange Network Conference, the North Star program was presented a Gold Award as a high performing district. In addition, at the annual award banquet North Star was presented this year’s outstanding district in all of North America. Our program was noted for our growth in long term students, our new short term program, our unique one-way inbound programs that have received international recognition, our programs to help disadvantaged students be exchange students, our commitment to diversity and inclusion, and our organization structure that is a model for many districts. Hundreds of volunteers have made North Star what it is today. Thank you for all you do to support Rotary exchange students.
As your President Elect, I was able to attend the North Central President-Elect Training Seminar in Rochester, MN. Our theme for the 2018/19 year is "Be the Inspiration." The weekend lived up to the new theme. I was INSPIRED by speakers who shared their Rotary passion and experience. I learned skills to improve our club and INSPIRE ways to promote Rotary in our community. I have a better understanding of the power of the Rotary Foundation and hope to INSPIRE our club to action. Eagan Kick-Start Rotary was well represented as our President Elect Nominee Mike Supina attended as well.
Take a minute to think about what you are truly passionate about. Then, the next time you are among your Rotary friends, take a look around. The people you see are the horsepower ready and willing to turn your passion into action. Then take a look at the Rotary District 5950 Grants webpage. There awaits a pool of funds to do the same.
Helping to turn your passion into action is why we all meet each week. So develop your idea and harness the club to do what it does best!
