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.

Support for Ukraine

 

Jamie Hopkins, executive director of the Eagan Foundation, organized a Ukrainian dinner fundraiser for Sunday afternoon. Proceeds and donations will benefit Ukraine directly. Jamie worked in Ukraine for two years with the Peace Corps and she holds many close friendships in that war torn country. 

Comedy culture

The Eagan Kickstart Rotary Club held its 2nd annual Comedy Show fundraiser at Artworks. A line-up of comedians entertained the crowd for a $30 ticket per person. 

Bagging for tips

A few of us from the Eagan Rotary Club and others joined together to bag and beg for tips at a weekend fundraiser at Cub Foods grocery store to benefit the Open Door Foodshelf.
