Weekly Inspiration
 
"There's a bright, golden haze on the meadow
There's a bright, golden haze on the meadow
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye
And it looks like it's climbing clear up to the sky

Oh, what a beautiful mornin'
Oh, what a beautiful day
I've got a beautiful feelin'
Everything's goin' my way"
 
- Oklahoma, the musical
 
 
Offered by Mary Nell Zellner
Performance by Carol Wirsbinski

Open Door

EKSR will resume quarterly volunteer evenings at THE OPEN DOOR - first Thursday of November, February, May, and August.

This aligns better with our volunteer capacity and avoids holidays where volunteers are often scarce.

Please contact Mike Supina 
(651-706-0061) if you can help out.

#FUN!

5/31 or 6/14 MN Aurora Soccer Game:
Let's plan an outing and cheer on them on. More details to come. 
 

#SERVICE!

Stay Tuned...

A message from Denise:
 
Our very own Ryan Murphy has come up with a way that our club can make a lot of money for our foundation with a bit of investment and sweat equity.
 
He and I collaborated on the purchase of a townhome that needs a bit of work but can be resold for substantially more than he paid for it. As a matter of fact, he already has a buyer, and we can expect to net several thousand dollars, with the help of the club and some of his subcontractors.
 
We will learn much more about this idea on Thursday, but we want to get the word out now, as we have a short window to start and finish our work -- closing is scheduled for May 31!
 
This Saturday (April 22, 2023), from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm or so, we need volunteers at the townhouse to sort through items that were left behind, toss the junk and keep the things worth donating, do a deep clean, take off old doorknobs and haul away some bigger items that were left behind.
 
If you have time and interest in volunteering, please plan to stop over anytime this Saturday between 8:00 and 2:00 p.m. Pizza will be served! Bring gloves and any safety wear you might want. You might also want to bring cleaning supplies.
 
The townhome is located at 7303 109th St West, Bloomington. 
 
This is not the only opportunity to donate your sweat equity. We will need volunteers a few more times during the process, and will do a really deep clean right before closing.
 
Let me know if you can make it! With our combined expertise and donations of time, talent and treasure, we will make a substantial contribution to our foundation, and in turn, our Eagan community!

True Crime and Kick-Start Rotary!
 
Our very own top-notch prosecutor, Elizabeth Lamin, helped convict a murderer whose case had been cold for over 20 years.  NIck Firkus was convicted and sentenced to life in prison, thanks to Elizabeth, the BCA, St. Paul PD and even the FBI.  
 
And now the story is being told on ABC's 20/20 tonight, a two hour special on the case, which for years had baffled investigators.
