March 2024
 
Spring is in the air, I think.  Plans are being made for our April 19th Neighbors Day.  Hopefully we'll have weather appropriate for raking and tidying up our neighbors' yards in Caledonia.  If you know of folks who would like help with their yards, have them contact Sherry at 507-725-5137.  And if you know of groups of volunteers that would like to help with clean-up, call Sherry about that too.  Neighbors Day will run from 3 to 6 on Friday, April 19.
 
One of our members has transferred her membership from our club to one in Geneva, Switzerland.  We miss you Franci but are happy you are continuing with Rotary!
 
We send condolences to Mary Jane Hendel's family.  Mary Jane was a charter member of our club, past president, fearless volunteer and currently an honorary member.  She passed away this month and will be missed by the many folks who knew her.
