October 16th meeting: Club assembly
Club assembly is a bimonthly business meeting of Farmington Rotary. This is the club's opportunity to hear from our president and committee chairs about the significant work taking place in our club and Rotary International. Please join us at noon on October 16th at Celt's in downtown Farmington.
 
If we have time, we can do some classification talks.  We have Annie, Rachelle, Jay and TJ that are next in line.
 
 
Giving back updates
I wanted to share a couple of events that have happened recently where your Farmington Rotary Club was able to give back to some worthy causes.  This is truly Rotary in action!
 
The 1st event was the Breaking Free Annual Picnic:
Annual Picnic
 
Breaking Free's annual picnic was a huge success! There was plenty of food, games, prizes, smiles, & laughter, it was a GREAT time! Thank you VERY much to all of our volunteers who helped out at the picnic & thank you to those who have sent in a donation for the picnic! We couldn't have done it without you!
 
 
 
 
The 2nd event was the 4th annual Miracle League game at King's Park in Lakeville where we were able to give $6,000 towards the construction of the new mini golf course that will be adjacent to the baseball field and playground that is already there.
