Fellow Rotarians,
It was a beautiful day to have our meeting last week at Zachary Park. James Williams and Peter Bartling did a wonderful job with the awards and having our District Governor, Tom Gump present was great. Congratulations to all the Paul Harris Fellow and S/Heroes recipients. Media partner, Sun Sailor publications will feature the story.

ROTARY PROJECT: Carol Parrish is leading the charge with Rotary Club of Edina-Morningside and the ordering/distribution of hats and mittens for the Warm Hands, Warm Heads, Warm Hearts program. Plymouth Rotary Foundation and the Board approved funds to meet the September 18th deadline. Please contact Carol Parrish at cjparrish1029@msn.com to donate and replenish Foundation funds. Monies will be collected on a future date.
ROTARY PROJECT: One of the Club’s Annual Fundraiser was Ducks on Parade. It was held at the Hilde Performance Center following Plymouth on Parade. Numbered plastic Ducks would be sent down a wood sluice into the pond, then two Rotarians in a small row boat would “fish” them out of the pond in random order to determine prize winners from those who had “leased” a duck/s for the Duck Race. We now want to dismantle the sluice and recover the lumber.
Do you know a worthy non-profit which might need for some lumber? Mostly 2 by 4’s and plywood. Please call Steve Beachler at 763-473-3069 or 612-701-5510.
We need a few Rotarians and a couple of trucks to travel to Peter’s cabin to dismantle the lumber and donate the material to a non-profit.
ROTARY PROJECT: The Mission Nursing Home in Plymouth needs shoes, either lace up or slip-on with rubber soles, new or gently used, men's shoes. Please no dress shoes or boots. Mission would enjoy receiving books, too. Mystery stories, magazines and other reading materials would be appreciated. Please contact Carol Parrish at cjparrish1029@msn.com or 952-334-5417
Heart Safe Plymouth has help train folks to properly use hands-only CPR and AED, automated external defibrillator, for several years. Thank you to the club members Russ Carlson, Don Weber, Norm Okerstrom, Steve Marti and Steve Beachler who have coordinated this project. Plymouth MN Rotary is proud to support. Pending state guidelines, we will announce new training sessions when allowed.
Our Brewfest fundraiser that raises funds for Heart Safe is looking ahead for 2021.
Quarterly club invoices are emailed. Please review and submit payment to the club's P.O. box address. If you have questions, please reply on the email or call a board member for assistance.
