Here are some pictures of our process:
Getting ready for the Plymouth on Parade in the lineup
Nearly ready for the parade to begin
As the parade begins the Wayzata H.S. kids with the Rotary Sponsors banner lead our delegation
A Ball pit is formed with a blue tarp and tables and the appropriate number of numbered balls are placed in the pit with the help of HS Students
The entries are gathered as the parade progresses in the command center
When t he parade is over and all the Rotarians have brought back their sales one of the high school kids gets into the ball pit
The first place winner is selected and given to Jim
Prize winners are picked for each prize
The H.S. kids rotate to assure fairness
Each winning ball is hand picked by one of the H.S. volunteers
The winners are announced to the club at the time and published on our web page and the members then distribute the prizes!

We have an update from our friend of the club Future Roots Project and Jaime Belden! She says things are going great with the water filter project there in Nicaragua. All of the filters made it in country without problems and they have begun giving them to families after they have completed a pre-survey, an educational program, and have demonstrated that they can properly backflush the apparatus. She also says she will be back to visit our club between now and the Holidays. I hope she will bring her fundraiser sale like she had before. We should save up some of our Holiday gift budget for buying some Nicaraguan toys or comfort items to give to our families and support this great cause at the same time.

Please check your heart. Is it beating?
If it is, you should be giving to the Rotary Club of Plymouth Foundation so that if it suddenly stops someday there will be someone who is trained and has the equipment available to get it started again.
Dave Olson is our new Foundation Chair. Ask him about it!

We had a great presentation to the Plymouth City Counsel where our Heart Safe Committee gave the City the Automatic Electronic Defibrillators. They will be used in the new City Center.
WHAT HAS OUR CLUB DONE FOR THE COMMUNITY LATELY? We have just this week approved a grant to buy two picnic tables for Mission Nursing Home of Plymouth. These will replace ones that are dangerous for elderly nursing home patients that would like to use them with their family members during this good weather season. We are buying two tables as requested. As to each table
It is shipped unassembled.
Mission staff will assemble when it is received.
The optional kit to secure it to the concrete pad is not necessary.
The table is 400+ pounds. It’s not going anywhere.
This product is similar to the By The Yard products made here in MN.
Carol checked with By The Yard, and the only picnic table they have is a one piece, hexagonal shaped table with attached seating. Not possible for those using wheelchairs/walkers to access. These are better for our purpose.
This product is what is used by the City of Plymouth in their parks.
It is rated to be outdoors in MN 24/7.
These tables are ADA compliant.
We have another grant application from another deserving entity the committee is reviewing as well. More details will be coming soon.
By being a member of Rotary you are a part of an organization that is constantly doing something good.
TALKING POINTS:
What is Rotary and WHY WOULD ANYONE CARE?
Rotary is a philanthropic organization that has a core group of committed volunteers in nearly every developed city in the world, who work to make their community a better place.
Here are 3 reasons for your friends to care:
If you have moved here from somewhere else, and you join a local club, you can plan and do projects involving friends locally with those from anywhere you came from.
Or for another example, when your local food shelf needs something, or someone, who can they ask and where do volunteers come from? Rotary Clubs supply money and volunteers for all sorts of our community charities.
Rotary tries to measure everything with its four-way test. 1) Is it the truth? 2) Is it fair to all concerned? 3) Will it build good will and better friendships? 4) Will it be beneficial to all concerned? If something fails in any of those dimensions, it does not meet Rotary’s high-quality standards. We have been honored and welcomed to join.
THE OBJECT OF ROTARY
The Object of Rotary is to encourage
and foster the ideal of service as a
basis of worthy enterprise and, in
particular, to encourage and foster:
First The development of
acquaintance as an opportunity for
service;
Second High ethical standards
in business and professions, the
recognition of the worthiness
of all useful occupations, and
the dignifying of each Rotarian's
occupation as an opportunity to
serve society;
Third The application of the ideal of
service in each Rotarian's personal,
business, and community life;
Fourth The advancement of
international understanding,
goodwill, and peace through a
world fellowship of business and
professional persons united in the
ideal of service.
Our application and materials are in for Javier! We will know about our latest hurdle soon and that is when it is all funded! This is a fantastic opportunity for us to interact with the British Rotary Club, Javier as he goes through his latest level of higher education, and the district committee as they finalize the funding of the grant. Carol has led us through a difficult process to a great result. Many thanks to Carol.
If you are receiving this Bulletin and you are no longer a member, or never were a member, the reason it is coming to you is that we want you to consider becoming a member now. We want you in our club. If no one has personally said it recently, consider this your invitation to come as soon as you can. You are important to us.
Carol would like to build a schedule to deliver donated flowers to assisted living and nursing homes. Flowers are available Thursdays at 8:30 am at Trader Joe's, 11220 Wayzata Blvd. (Hopkins Crossroads and 394). Email Carol Parrish cjparrish1029@msn.com
