Hello Kick-Starters!
The Eagan Lions are helping coordinate a bed building event with the Sleep in Heavenly Peace organization August 10, 11 and 12 at Northern Tool + Equipment in Burnsville. They are a really neat organization that builds beds for kids in the community that don't have one.
There are several shifts available for the event and its open to all skill levels. Check out the sign up link here.
You are welcome to sign up on your own but if there is interest in coordinating the same shift amongst our club let Marie know.

OPEN WORLD PROGRAM 2024 CALL FOR HOSTS
Rotary International (RI) is pleased to announce new hosting opportunities under the Open World Program during the 2024 calendar/hosting year, which will mark the 25th anniversary of Rotary’s participation in the program.
The Open World Program is available to Rotary clubs in the United States and provides an opportunity to build fellowship and friendship to strengthen international understanding by hosting emerging Eurasian leaders from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Mongolia, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Solomon Islands, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, and Vietnam in your community.
Rotary clubs are needed to host six-participant delegations for eight days and nights and prepare a professional program related to business, community, and civic life in the United States. The program focuses on developing a network of leaders who have an understanding of how American communities deal with contemporary issues and want to maintain contact with their new American contacts and other counterparts. Often, these collaborations lead to service projects between Rotary clubs in the two countries.
The Open World program, operated by the Congressional Office for International Leadership (COIL) an independent U.S. federal agency, is a special program available to Rotary clubs in the United States through a grant secured by Rotary International. Please review the Rotary Open World brochure for more information.
RI serves as a national host organization, with Rotary clubs serving as local hosts for Open World delegations. Rotary clubs in 290 cities and 48 states have hosted over 4,000 of all 30,400 Open World participants throughout these years. RI can reimburse participating clubs for many of their hosting expenses through Open World grants.
