Our Inspiration Lounge moves to Summit Brewing for one week to ensure plenty of space for this interactive program.
Club 10 Member Andrea Mirenda will lead us in a combination of education and engagement. We'll start with a mini-lesson to get people up and moving, which will include a little history of the dance(s), followed by a short group discussion that incorporates information about the programs at Heart of Dance.
Participants won't need to have a partner, but this is a great meeting to bring guests to, given the activity. The Inspiration Lounge will be hybrid as always, and Andrea will teach in a way that will work for people joining in via Zoom.
President Todd Nicholson called the hybrid meeting to order at 12:15 pm. Lynne Beck was scribe. The greeters were Pat Hartford and Heidi Fisher. The A/V Tech Team was Ken Crabb, Paul Meekin and Matt Magers. David Kline gave the Inspirational Minute: "Forgiveness is giving up all hope for a better past." He then led the club in the 4-Way Test. Ruth Petermann introduced visiting Rotarians and guests. Guests were Susan Young, the president of the Forest Lake Rotary Club, and 3 others, all who visited online.
Like many Rotary Clubs, Club #10 has a long tradition of collecting Happy Dollars at the end of our meetings. The Happy Dollars collected go directly to the Club in support of its initiatives. For those new to the practice, the Rotary E-Club of NextGen sums it up well:
“Happy” members raise their hand, pass a dollar to the solicitor and tell the rest of the membership why they are happy… I have heard reasons for “happiness” range from the serious (“my husband has just been declared cancer free”) to the hilarious (“I gave a ‘happy dollar’ last week because the grandchildren were coming to visit. I’m giving another this week because they are finally going away!”). In all cases, the “Happy Dollars” let Rotarians see more into the lives of their fellow members, and this helps build camaraderie within their club.
In addition to sharing happy news for $1.00, members and visitors are welcome to promote business and community events and opportunities for $5.00. If you would like to contribute via credit card, please see Jodi at the registration desk. Thank you for your Happy Dollars!
