Yes, it's cold. It's winter in Minnesota. That happens. But today's a Rotary day. And even better, it's a Student of the Month day. So put on some long underwear. Find your warmest mittens. Wrap a scarf around your entire torso. Then come join us for lunch and help us celebrate a couple of remarkable students.

Our speaker today is Diane Lindo, who along with her business partner created Face 4 Your Future, an elaborate scheme by which your face is replaced with Nicolas Cage's face so you can infiltrate his sinister criminal empire.

Actually, check that. I'm told I'm thinking of the plot to the 1997 film masterpiece Face/Off. Face 4 Your Future is a nonprofit that allows Diane and her partner to "continue their quest of giving back and helping people become the best they can be."

The information I has isn't clear about exactly how they do that, so I can't swear Nic Cage's face isn't involved somehow. Show up and find out, I guess.

The last time we had a regular Rotary meeting we followed it up with a board meeting to talk about our budget. This week we're going to follow up our regular club meeting with a board meeting to talk about our budget. So, if you missed the opportunity to be part of the discussion last time, here's your chance to get in on the fun.

Don't take it lightly.

This week, in our ongoing effort to address the stereotype that young people are the worst we will once again welcome two students of the month.

This month we will recognize Farmington High School student Ryan Jara and Riverview Elementary School student Dylan Henrikson. I don't know more about them than that, but if I had to guess I'd say they're both smart, personable and so involved you'll wonder when they have time to sleep or eat or use the bathroom.

Please don't show up at Celts for our Dec. 15 meeting. There won't be any other Rotarians there. Instead, please show up at St. Michael's Catholic Church to help with our annual senior holiday luncheon. If you can, come early to help us get everything set up.

If you've never taken part, the luncheon is a lot of fun. It's especially fun if you've ever dreamed of working as a server in a restaurant. And who hasn't, am I right?
