On July 27 we were again Red Wing's first to be introduced to the 2010 Miss Red Wing candidates. These nine young women each presented a historical perspective on Red Wing. The coronation changes this year to the end of River City Days, on Sunday, Aug. 8 at Red Wing High School.
On July 20 we were introduced to our new District 5960 Governor, Craig Leiser, who gave a rousing talk about the goals of the district and Rotary International for this year. Internationally, Rotary is still working to eradicate polio as its number one priority. For the district, Craig wants each club to have a water resource project this year. He also wants us to not only have fun, but to make our activities rewarding.
We also found out that our very own recent past president Meg Walch is an assistant governor for the District. Congratulations, Meg! The club's board of directors also met with the new governor before the meeting for a strategy session.
Past governor and club member Lee Finholm was recognized by Gov. Leiser for his hard work with the Rotary Foundation.
Club member Jerry Borgen showed us signs that will go next to trees at Pottery Pond recognizing members that have passed on. |
