Which flavor would you pick at Cold Stone Creamery on Town Centre Drive? Which toppings? I love the coffee flavored one!

Cars had stopped and all were patiently waiting as the Canadian geese and their babies crossed the road. 

Ukrainian paintings

My friend and fellow Eagan Rotarian, Tami Phillippi, and her employee, Luke do a wonderful job of quality framing at her "Frame Minnesota" store.  My two paintings arrived a few weeks ago directly from Ukraine. The church was recently painted by Aleksei Chebotaru while the woman portrait is a vintage work by Soviet Ukrainian artist, Svetlana Grigorevna Krizhevskaya.

Appreciation for teachers

On Wednesday, May 18, the Eagan Rotary Club and the Eagan Kickstart Rotary club held the 32nd annual Teacher Recognition lunch meeting. A teacher from each of the 15 Eagan schools was introduced by his / her school principal. Each teacher gave brief comments before receiving a gift certificate for his / her classroom and applause from those gathered at Lost Spur Golf Club.

As an annual scholarship donor since 2013, it was my pleasure to present my $1,000 Achievement Financial Linguistic Scholarship at tonight's Eagan Foundation Scholarship Awards event to Eagan High School senior, Natalie Quick.

Rotarians, police chief and a superhero

On a beautiful, sunny, Saturday morning, the Eagan Rotary Club held their fun and successful, 2nd annual "Live to Give walk" fundraiser at the Eagan Rotary bandshell next to the Eagan Community Center. Net proceeds will support mostly 4 main local charities:

1. Dakota Woodlands - the only homeless shelter in Dakota County.

2. DARTS - transportation for seniors.

3. The Drawer - socks and underwear for homeless people.

4. Eagan Rotary Foundation

Club President Erica Hollom, dressed as a superhero, sang the national anthem. Police Chief and Rotarian Roger New judged the costumes and started the walkers. The St Thomas Academy high school drill team performed before community walkers, Rotarians, Interacters and dogs walked the one mile track. A Mexican food truck and Mimosas were available afterwards to participants.
