Changing of the guard


 At last night's 34th annual Charter Banquet for the Eagan Rotary Club, the framed charter certificate was given from me as the outgoing club president to Erica Hollom the incoming president. It was a fun, wonderful celebration of our club accomplishments in the 2020 - 2021 Rotary year.

On Saturday afternoon, I visited the Stone Arch Bridge Festival in Minneapolis. Art and food were for sale among the 190 vendors! Two dinner plates, a small cow painting and a bar of soap came back to Eagan with me.
