We had a great turnout today (only six absent) for our new teachers luncheon. There were eight new faces there along with their mentors and the principals from each school.
This is a great time to remind everyone of the second annual Rotary school supply drive going on right now.
There are four drop-off locations (the four banks in Dassel and Cokato). The last day for donations is Tuesday, Sept.1.
Thanks to all to participate, the school really appreciates all we do.

Russ Johnson shared with the club an old audio of him and a few others that were in a talent contest at the Cokato Corn Carnival 60 yrs ago. 

Evan Babekuhl spoke about her experience at the World Affairs Seminar which took place June 20th - 26th in West Allis, WI.  http://www.worldaffairsseminar.org/

 Also, Russ Johnson will be playing audio from a past Corn Carnival contest that he was apart of.  Dont miss this.

District Governor Sandy Schley presented to Rotary July 23 giving us a summary of what our district is planning this coming year.
This year’s theme is “The Future of Rotary is in Your Hands.” One of the goals is for each club to raise $1,000 for Polio Plus. She recommended we set up a committee to organize a fundraiser for this to get the public involved with this very important goal. This is something the board will discuss at the next meeting, which is Tuesday at noon.
Next week’s program is the Cokato Corn Carnival Royalty to help us get in the spirit of the long-standing Cokato tradition.
Corn anyone?!
Schley also wanted to remind us, each and every Rotarian, of why we joined Rotary and to share our Rotary story with others. We also want to invite you to invite guests to meetings. We like guests, and who knows, they may just want to join!
