Periodically we feature a newer member of the Rotary Club of Edina in The Barker. The Rotary Club of Edina welcomed John Mazzara as a member in November 2015. John's sponsor to the club was Jim Roberts. Read on to get to know more about John...
 
Name: John Mazzara
 
Classification: Residential Real Estate
 
What was your first job? Caddy at Southview Country Club in West St Paul for a season when I was 12. When I was 13 I successfully self-taught myself how to run a trap line from a book. I did that for three years in Eden Prairie (when it was a prairie)

Who was your first role model and why? Ronald Regan. Peace through strength. He returned greatness to America and made us proud to be an American.
 
Why did you want to join Rotary? Camaraderie and fellowship and the desire to give back to others.

What do you like best about being part of the Rotary Club of Edina? I get a “TED talk” every week on top of a wonderful healthy lunch with really nice people. I leave better than when I arrived.
 
What one piece of advice do you offer other business leaders? Let’s work together and leave the world a better place. Together we can accomplish much. What do you want to be remembered for when you’re gone?
 
Welcome to the Rotary Club of Edina, John!
