RJ, Events and Summit Conversations
I am still sore with bruises I have no idea where they came from.  I have dirt on everything but wouldn't change it for a minute.  We will discuss our accomplishments, short comings, positives and negatives.  These conversations will only fuel the fire to make next years RJ even bigger and better.
 
There are many events coming up (check out having fun with Rotary section) which we can get involved in to better our community as well as surrounding areas. 
 
Finally we will have a few Rotarians speak about the Summit that was 2 nights ago and be able to tell us their "Why".
Having fun with Rotary
Enjoy your Rotary friends while having fun and doing good in the world. Check out the following opportunities:
 
  • 50th Anniversary of Dakota County Library's
    • Open House - Dakota County Library in Farmington
    • Wednesday April 10th from 3pm - 5pm
    • Beginning with the Farmington and Hastings library locations in 1969 and expanding to nine locations in 2019, we're proud to serve our residents and celebrate 50 years as part of the Dakota County community.
      Enjoy music from the Farmington High School band and choir, and a slideshow.  Share memories of the Library throughout the years, and record some of them with the help of our traveling poet, too.  Light refreshments will be served.

Meeting hosts
A reminder to check the meeting host schedule in the sidebar of The Source to learn when you are scheduled to serve. Each Rotarian serves as a meeting host one month of the year and is responsible for working with your co-host(s) to do the following:
  • Schedule speakers for your month
  • Arrive early to set up
  • Give the meal count to the kitchen
  • Stay late to take down
Please review the meeting host responsibilities for complete details. Contact Janie if you have questions or a conflict with the month you are assigned.
 
Thank you Don, Jenna and Larry for being great meeting hosts for March.  Jay, Tom and Wendy ... The previous 3 amigos did a fantastic job... it is now your turn to keep the momentum going.
