The Eagan Rotary Noon Club is selling tickets online for the Eagan Rotary Gala which is February 10, 2018 at the Eagan Community Center. We hope by then to have adequately recovered from the Twin Cities hosting the Super Bowl and the Vikings winning it!
Once again you can join 350 people raising money that will be used to make a difference in our community and world. This the Noon Club's only fundraiser. It supports the club foundation and the money is spent back in the community on projects and not-for-profits. Last year the Noon Club committed $150,000 to help Art Works Eagan achieve their goal of opening their new space. The Noon Club gives approximately $30,000 in community grants per year.
And new for 2018: Eagan Rotary Gala tickets may now be purchased electronically via our Club’s website www.eaganrotary.org! Simply click on the giant red PURCHASE TICKETS icon prominently displayed on our home page and complete the simple four-step purchasing process. And you will also have the ability to purchase sponsorships with your credit card via our new electronic ticketing system. We’re absolutely convinced this will be a much easier/less time consuming system for us going forward – and rest assured, we’ll be with you every step of the way should you have questions or encounter any challenges.
One final note: if you add Scott Swenson's name as the Rotarian in the note section, he will include you as he coordinates seating.
One of the real joys this holiday season is the opportunity to say thank you to all Kick-Starters for everything you do and wish you the very best for the New Year. Spend time together with loved ones and enjoy the greatest gifts of the season - Peace,Joy, and Hope!

As you contemplate your year-end giving options, considerThe Rotary Foundation. Recent contributions have been used to fund a worldwide campaign to eradicate polio which is very close to succeeding. Your contribution can make a difference on this and future initiatives.
Kick-Start kicked in funds to purchase warm hats and gloves for residents of Lewis House, a Sexual and Domestic Violence shelter in Eagan. We wanted to send along our friendliest faces with the delivery but they weren't available so instead we sent Buzz and Greg. Thanks guys!
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!
If you have ever wondered what the future of Rotary will be, you need look no further than the Eagan High School Interact Club. In just the past few months they have served our community with a fall leaf raking project, a winter coat drive, and a grocery bagging fundraiser at Cub Foods. What an inspiration for Rotary Clubs everywhere hoping to up their community service game!
