DEC. 17 MEETING: COVID Effects on Dakota County
Don't miss this opportunity to hear Bonnie Brueshoff, director of Dakota County Public Health, present an update on how the COVID pandemic is affecting Dakota County residents. She will discuss data trends and the Public Health Department's work on the response, and will answer your questions about the pandemic.
 
Bonnie is on a tight schedule and available only from 12-12:30, so please LOG IN a couple of minutes early for this meeting.
SANTA'S ELVES AT WORK
Santa's elves are busy this week delivering 125 gift bags to our senior citizens. Wendy's crackerjack Premier Bank staff assembled beautiful gift bags with items donated by Dakota Electric Association, Janie's Home Team, Market on Oak, Travel Leaders and Wings Financial. If you haven't already done so, Email Wendy to schedule a time when you can pick up a couple of bags to deliver and brighten a senior's holiday.
 
Thank you to everyone who helped with this COVID-safe holiday service project.

TELL YOUR ROTARY STORY
Farmington Rotary is important. But why? Why are YOU a member of this club? Barb suggested that some regular Facebook and website posts from each of us about our "Rotary why" is a great way to promote the club, engage current members and bring in new members. Submit your "why" to Barb. No technology skills necessary!
