CLUB VIDEO: Peter Bartling and Dave Kiser from CCX Media are putting together a video to promote our club. This video will allow us to build upon the media footprint established with Sun Sailor publications and social media including Facebook and our website. Rotary members will be interviewed this week and edited with past images of our club's activities. The end product will allow us to share with businesses and community organizations to build upon membership. Thank you to the Bartling family for sponsoring this project.
THANK YOU to Carol for sharing the following message from Ann Platt: As some of you may have read on Facebook that fellow Rotarian Tim Murphy had a massive heart attack (Friday) leading to cardiac arrest. The doctors sound very optimistic due to Ryan's quick action and the paramedic team that was there so fast. He was ambulanced to U of M where they put three stents in and he is now in an induced coma to let his body rest after the trauma. They are not sure how long they will keep him in the coma. Your continued prayers for Tim's quick recovery and for Cindy and the family are very much appreciated. If you wish to send a card: 9110 - 225th Street West, Lakeville, MN 55044. I have sent a card on behalf of the Plymouth Rotary Club.
