Our club recently had the pleasure of awarding a $2,500 grant to Katie Pargal, Executive Director for the Wayzata Symphony Orchestra (WSO)! We were delighted to work with Katie and her team, who have been fantastic supporters of Rotary! We look forward to seeing even greater successes at WSO in the west metro educational project they are leading the charge on. Here's to future, greater partnerships with WSO!

Eternally grateful to our community partners who participated this past Saturday (9/28/24) at the Plymouth Rotary Club and Luce Line Brewing event called Parade in Place. The event's success would not have been possible without Luce Line's partnership, steadfast leadership from our Rotary club, our partners' commitment and passion, and our community members who showed up to support - all despite the heat! Please check out some of the photos below!

Do you issue an American Heart Association card upon completion?
This training is called Adult Bystander CPR/AED training. Although this is an AHA approved course, no AHA cards will be issued. Our Rotary does issue a card and similar to AHA, we recommend retraining at least every two years. We teach everything the HeartSaver course teaches except providing Emergency Breaths. We teach Hands Only/Compression CPR. It does not qualify for health care providers recertification.
