Cokato Dassel Rotary Club

Lyle, Karl, and Steve listen to Chad Erickson give his presentation on his trip to Africa.

Chad Erickson showed a slide show and talked about his experience on a recent mission trip to Kenya with International Adventure Center. The trip was to take 14 orphans out of the slums and into an orphanage paid for through Rev. Charles O’Keefe’s ministry. The pictures were great, yet devastating to see the conditions. We need more programs like this! Let Dori know if you have any ideas for future programs.

Chad Erickson will be presenting on his recent trip to Africa. 

At the meeting on July 9th we took a vote as a group to decide  if we would want to supply workers at a beer tent during the street dance that is being put on by the Iron Horse on Saturday August 8th.  Proceeds from the sale of beer would come back to our club as a fundraiser.  We voted and it was approved.  However, before President Rob Swendra could get back to them the Cokato Lions had stepped up and are now doing it.  So, we won’t be needing any workers for that event.

Mike Worcester spoke about the history of the small town cafe.  Everyone there enjoyed the pictures of the cafes that once were in Cokato.
