CAMP ENTERPRISE 2021

Mark your calendars for CAMP ENTERPRISE 2021: November 4 thru 6, 2021.

Camp will take place at Camp Ihduhapi in Loretto MN.

We need YOU to volunteer!

You will have a lot of fun with Rotarians from Districts 5950 and 5960.

See a job you want from the list below? Please let Mary Brindle know!!

Marketing Committee: Call Rotary to secure their sponsorship of students. Rotary Clubs sponsor students from their home community. We need your help to call Rotary Clubs and fill this year's enrollment.

Registration: Be at Camp on Thursday to welcome students, get them registered, provide their Camp folder, etc.

Mentors: Spend the three days of Camp guiding a team of students as they work through the case study. Each case study profiles a new innovative company, leaving key decisions for students to make, ultimately forming a business plan as they apply for venture capital. It's all fictitious, of course. And it's a great learning experience for students and adult mentors alike.

Transportation: Meet students departing for Camp Enterprise at Southdale on Thursday morning. Meet students returning from Camp Enterprise at Southdale on Saturday afternoon.

Facilities: Purchase snacks and beverages to have on hand for breaks during Camp Enterprise. (We will provide a shopping list for you.) Be on hand at Camp to help out with what needs doing.

Venture Capitalist: Be part of a 3-person team to listen to Case Study Presentations and choose the winner of the $1,000,000 venture capital.

Photographer: On Thursday, take the annual Camp Enterprise photo, get it reproduced and bring it to Camp for distribution to students.

IRON WILL: POLIO ERADICATION

Our foundation joined the polio fight almost 15 years ago. And in all that time, I cannot think of a more important moment than right now.

In my new Gates Notes post, I write about the amazing progress the world has made against the crippling disease, but also why we are at risk of losing the gains we have fought so hard for.

We still aren’t reaching areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan, the only countries where polio remains endemic. Outbreaks of other forms of polio continue to crop up in under-immunized communities across Africa and parts of Asia. And the pandemic continues to interrupt polio campaigns and routine immunizations.

But thanks to the iron will of the thousands of polio workers and an improved strategy to end this disease, I’m confident that with sufficient financial resources and political support we can create a world where no child will ever be paralyzed by polio again.

I hope you’ll take a few minutes to learn more about this effort.

Thanks for being an Insider!

MEMBERSHIP- JOIN ROTARY!

Why join Rotary?

Did you know that many Americans are not overly satisfied about the size of their friendship group. In a 2021 survey about the State of American Friendship, results show that about half of Americans (51 percent) report they are very satisfied or completely satisfied with the number of friends they have. Thirty percent say they are only somewhat satisfied, and 17 percent say they are not too or not at all satisfied with the number of friends they have.

There's no better time to introduce your friends to Rotary!!

LAKE STREET COUNCIL PROJECT UPDATE

Edina Morningside Rotary Club is among several area Rotary clubs that will work with the Excelsior Morning Rotary Club on the Lake Street Council Project, to help rebuild businesses damaged in summer 2020’s civil unrest after George Floyd’s death.

EMRC members John Sorteberg and Bob Schriver are leading our club's effort in this important project. Edina Morningside Rotary Club has been paired with Sol Travel, a business that was affected by the unrest last summer.

John is President of Commercial Furniture Services and leads a roundtable discussion with other small business owners, a forum in which small business owners learn from each other. Bob is retired after being President of Coverall of the Twin Cities and is a member of S.C.O.R.E. Senior Core of Retired Executives, a small non-profit that pairs retired executives with small business owners to help give them the necessary resources and guidance they need.

Members of Edina Morningside Rotary are helping Sol Travel get up and running. Want to help?

John and Bob are looking for help from EMRC members. Please contact John at his email john.sorteberg@cfsmn.com or Bob at his email at reschriver@gmail.com for information.

We look forward to getting to know Lake Street business owners and working with them. Watch for more information about how to get involved. Many shops are open, including Midtown Global Market and Mercado Central. Consider shopping Lake Street for your groceries and gifts.

We invite all EMRC members and friends to sponsor our club website.

You pay just $5 per quarter.
