Periodically we feature a newer member of the Rotary Club of Edina on our website and in our newsletter. The Rotary Club of Edina welcomed André Brewer as a member in October 2016. André's sponsor to the club was Sam Cote.
Thank you for the great experience that you gave me [attending Camp RYLA].
You have impacted my whole life in only five days of camping, having the opportunity to meet incredible people and learning new skills. I didn't know what to expect coming to this camp, but I know that everything happens for a reason. And this camp gave me a new perspective on life.
The Rotary Club of Edina gathered May 11 and welcomed Edina Mayor Jim Hovland as program speaker. New member Heather Edelson was officially inducted into the club, and Rotarian Jen Tregarthen shared details about her life and family during her classification talk. Mike Sitek, representing the Community Service—Local Funding Committee, handed out a Edina Rotary Foundation grant to Minnesota Life College. And there were more announcements!
