District 46B State Representative Cheryl Youakim I met Peter during one of the community conversations that I hold at the local library as a State Representative. We subsequently had coffee and found out that we had Rotary in common. I used to be a member of the Minnetonka Rotary years ago. Peter invited me to an Edina Morningside meeting and I was very impressed with the club. For information about Rotary membership, please contact Peter Williams.

WELCOME NEW MEMBER ERICA STERN Erica was inducted on Tuesday, October 31st. Sponsor: Paul Nelson  Erica Stern comes from a long line of Rotarians from her home state of North Dakota. Erica's great-grandpa Herman Stern was a founding member of the Valley City club, and her grandpa was active in the Fargo club. Her uncle John Stern is a very active member of the Fargo West club. Erica's dad Rick Stern is a lifelong member of the Fargo Kiwanis Club, but has given his blessing for her to join Rotary as long as she continues to volunteer at their annual Pancake Karnival. Erica moved to Edina with her mom Peggy Linrud during elementary school and graduated from Edina High School in 2002. Erica earned a BA in History from McGill University in Montreal, Canada and an MA in Art History from Christie's Education in London, England. Erica moved to Washington, DC, where she lived for 12 years, working first for U.S. Senator Byron Dorgan, and then as an auditor for the Department of Homeland Security and the United States Postal Service. Erica was extremely active in her community, volunteering at the Hillwood Museum, the Kennedy Center, the Homeless Children's Playtime Project, and various mentoring programs. She also served on the board of her Lutheran church, sang in the choir, and was the Treasurer of her Toastmasters club. Erica met native South Dakotan Jeremy Funk in DC, and they married in 2016. They have adopted two basset hound mixes named Maggie and Zoey. During the height of Covid in 2020, Erica accepted an opportunity in Minnesota to work for the Treasury Department as a financial crimes investigator. Erica and Jeremy found the perfect rambler in the Presidents neighborhood of Edina and are delighted to be closer to family and to reconnect with childhood friends. Erica tried her hand at coaching girls basketball for EBA last year and is excited for the upcoming season. Erica enjoys visiting the Museum of Russian Art, seeing concerts and plays, attending events at the Alliance Francaise, and reading anything written by Agatha Christie. Erica looks forward to brining her community spirit and enthusiasm to the Edina Morningside Rotary Club.

MENTOR AN EDINA STUDENT: SPACE STATION PROJECT Edina Public School is seeking Mentors to work with young Scientists who are developing experiments for the Space Station. Edina is entering year two of our Student Spaceflight Experiment Program. To participate, students in grades 5-12 design an experiment to test the effect of microgravity on a physical, chemical or biological system. Mentors help guide kids in their thinking about what would make a well controlled experiment design. Although science and engineering background are helpful, it is really about asking questions and helping kids refine their thinking. Learn more at this link.

ANNIE KENNEDY Celebration of the Beautiful Life of Annie Kennedy Sunday, October 15th 2023, 4:00 pm Mendakota Country Club in Mendota Heights  Friends in Minnesota are putting together a keepsake box for Matt and Allie Kennedy. We ask that you bring TWO copies of favorite photos, write up of how you knew Annie and/or Pat, or a favorite sweet or funny memory of them. This will help keep their memories alive for their children and grandchildren as they both left us too soon. If you can’t join us on October 15, please feel free to send your memories to Susanne to be included in the keepsake box. We are incredibly saddened by the news that former EMRC member Annie Kennedy has died. Tragically, she was killed in a car accident in Columbus, Ohio, where she had been living since the death of Patrick, her husband, in 2015. Annie grew up in Olney, Illinios, attended Bethel University and was active in music and creative arts. Annie spent much of her career in the incentive business, developing programs and promotional products. Think embroidered shirts and jackets, printed coasters and cup holders, and more. Together with Patrick, Annie loved the game of golf and was a long-time member of Mendakota Golf Club in Mendota Heights. Annie Borah Kennedy joined Edina Morningside Rotary in November of 1995. Her sponsor was her husband Patrick, who was a club charter member. Annie served as club president during the 2004-05 Rotary year and she attended the 2005 Rotary International Convention in Chicago, the Centennial Anniverary of Rotary. Annie served as Club Administrator, and she and Pat served Rotary District 5950 as trainers, providing entertaining and fun projects to promote the growth of Rotary in our district. Edina Morningside Rotary Club hosts the annual Pat Kennedy Golf Classic, recognizing the love both Patrick and Annie had for the game of golf, and for Rotary. Annie touched many hearts. Annie loved her beautiful Arizona home which she built with Pat and shared with friends on occasion. Annie had fun! She cherished her friends in Rotary and in the community, and her passion was fabric arts including rug hooking together with her twin sister Jane. We will miss you Annie! We will carry your spirit in our hearts.

 Aloha Rotarians & Friends of Rotary,I am sure you are aware of the devastating news regarding the recent fire hurricane on Maui. The Maui fires are the most devastating destruction in our state since Hawaii joined the US in 1959. As of this morning, 93 deaths have been reported and there are likely to be many more. So painful to think about! There are 53 Rotary clubs in Hawaii and 8 of them are on the island of Maui. Our District has set up a special fund to benefit Maui Fire Victims. All funds are being channeled through the Rotary District 5000 Foundation. A committee has been organized to determine the greatest needs for the distribution of monies in Maui. These funds will be used over the next year for the recovery and rebuilding phase of Maui which will take many, many years. DONATE TO THE ROTARY DISTRICT FOUNDATION
MAUI FIRE FUND HERE
If you would prefer to mail a check, send it to:
Rotary District 5000 Foundation
PO Box 2784
Honolulu, HI 96803
If you are donating from a Donor Advised Fund, use EIN: 99-0339185
If you wish to support Maui IN DISASTER RELIEF, you can contribute directly to the Maui Food Bank, or to the World Central Kitchen, who are cooking on Maui to provide meals.

The REALTORS® Association of Maui is also working to connect people with homes on Maui with people who were displaced by the fires. Please reach out to anyone you may know with space over on Maui. It takes a village, and you can help make an impact by reaching out to friends, and family to support the Maui community. If you know of an available home, a room, or space on Maui, please reach out to news@ramaui.com or (808) 873-8585.

The City of Edina seeks input from Rotarians to help shape a local ordinance on carryout bags. In February, the City Council directed staff to draft a possible update to the City Code to include the requirement that customers pay a fee for any plastic, paper, compostable or reusable bags received when making a purchase. The non-taxable bag fee would be collected and retained by merchants to use at their own discretion. Businesses would report annually to the City how many and what type of bags were distributed.

From Eda, I wanted to share the name of an organization that does a good job with getting help to where it’s needed. In case anyone wants to know what they can do to help, Bridge to Türkiye (link below) is a good place to donate. Thankfully no one in my family was injured, but this earthquake was a bad one and it is heartbreaking.

A humanitarian partnership initiated by Rotary Club of Edina Morningside seeks to save lives of innocent Ukrainian civilians impacted by Russia’s invasion by providing a used $1.2 million ladder truck fire engine owned by the City of Plymouth, Minnesota. The Plymouth City Council is scheduled to vote on the donation of the fire truck at its January 10, 2023 meeting. The need for firetrucks and ambulances in Ukraine was a topic mentioned at the 2022 Fall North Star Rotary Zone Institute held in Minnesota. This piqued the attention of Past 5950 District Governor Tom Gump, who is a member of The Rotary Club of Edina Morningside. Gump met one on one with some local mayors, including Jeff Wosje, Rotarian and Mayor of Plymouth, MN. Usually Plymouth auctions its used equipment. If it’s approved at the January 10 Plymouth City Council meeting, the ladder truck will join at least one other fire engine and seven ambulances in a shipment expected to leave the U.S.A. in early February, 2023.

District Governor Alexa Rundquist reminds all members to complete the District Survey. Below are some points she would like all members to know. I wanted to highlight three additional items regarding our District Survey. - Reminders are sent to everyone regardless if they have already completed the survey. The survey is anonymous and being tracked by a third party. We do not know who has completed the survey and who has not, therefore reminders are sent to all Active and Honorary Rotarians in District 5950. There will be a third and final reminder. No one should do the survey more than once.
- The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete. Not the one minute I said in the email. You can not pause the survey. There are about 30 questions.
- Rotary International is also conducting a membership survey. These are two different surveys. Please participate in both surveys. Both surveys are important.

Of the 35,000+ clubs across the globe, Rotary International chose only a few clubs to obtain membership tips from - and EMRC was one of them! EMRC Past-President & D5950 Governor Nominee Tom Gump During Tom's year as EMRC president (2016-2017), our club added 31 members and went from a medium-sized club to a large club in D5950 - with only four clubs larger than ours. Truly amazing and a role model for clubs across the globe. If you haven't had a chance to read the article, or just want to see it again, you can find it here - "STEP RIGHT UP".

 The Paul Harris Fellow recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, of US $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International (TRF). The number of Paul Harris Fellows globally reached the one million mark in 2006. During the 100th Anniversary Year of The Rotary Foundation, District Governor Mark Hegstrom has been encouraging Rotarians to become Paul Harris Society members (committing to contribute $1000 annually). There are now 250 PHS members in Rotary District #5950.
 DG Mark's home club is the Rotary Club of Edina Morningside. Under 2016-2017 President, Tom Gump, the club has taken the $365 per member contribution goal seriously. Tom has received commitments from 16 club members to become new PHS members. That brings the total number of PHS members to 24! In addition, on November 15, The Rotary Club of Edina Morningside became a 100% Paul Harris Fellow Club. DG Mark Hegstrom together with Club President, Tom Gump (l) and Jim Warner, Club TRF Chair, (r) proudly display the new recognition flag. Congratulations to all the club members and the District Governor on this honor.
While the Edina Mornginside club has a history of generosity, some of their Multiple PHF members used "points" to add to the cash contributions of newer members to reach the goal of every club member becoming a PHF. The Edina Morningside currently has 79 members. Join something powerful... will you be our 80th member?
