Safety officers

Yesterday, the Eagan Rotary Club held its 25th annual safety officer recognition lunch meeting. Fire Chief Hugo Searle introduced award recipient Firefighter Paul Burgett and told about one of his life saving rescues. Police Chief Roger New presented Officer Sean Farnham with his award and shared a heroic story performed by Sean. Congratulations to both officers and thank you for your service.

Members of the Eagan Kickstart Rotary Club packed Mobile Lunchbox Snackpacks for the Open Door Foodshelf! 

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. 

$75,000

 

On Wednesday, the Eagan Rotary Club presented a check for almost $75,000 in net proceeds from their 1st annual "Live to Give Walk" fundraiser. Recipient representatives from The Open Door Foodshelf, Eagan YMCA, 360 Communities and the Eagan Rotary Community Foundation posed together. 

One month to go....

 

As a 2nd time Eagan Rotary club president, I only have 4 more meetings to lead before the end of the Rotary year on July 1. It's been a challenging year during Covid but also very rewarding and exciting!

Honoring two veterans

On Wednesday, the Eagan Rotary Noon Club and the Eagan Rotary Kick-Start Club and many guests met at the Lost Spur Golf Club to honor two local veterans during the annual veterans recognition lunch meeting. Corporal Al Jaeger served with the US Army 1944 - 1946 WWII in Italy. Captain Chuck Burin flew as a pilot with the Marine Corps 1963 - 1974 in Vietnam. Both spoke about their service and afterwards each received a plaque from Eagan Rotary and a check to his favorite charity. The Eagan Men's Chorus sang patriotic songs and Rotarian John Curlee closed the meeting by playing "Taps" on his trumpet.
