The program speaker at the Thursday, Nov. 29, Rotary Club of Edina meeting is Harvey Newcomb. He is Director of Principal Gifts for The Rotary Foundation in Chicago. He will speak about giving to The Rotary Foundation. Our club's annual TRF campaign kicks off this month!
The Rotary Club of Edina is once again collecting holiday gifts for families in need in our community. Rotarian Jean Morrison is spearheading the Holiday Giving Program, which will be donating to CornerStone and 66 West again this year. Members are asked to bring UNWRAPPED gifts and gift cards for children of any age (infant all the way through teens) as well as gifts for moms, dads, and families served by CornerStone. This year, gift cards to Macy's or Marshalls were also requested for the residents at 66 West to buy clothing for job interviews. The donations can be dropped off at the Edina Country Club at Rotary meetings Nov. 29, Dec. 6 or 13, or at the Holiday Party on Thursday, Dec. 20. Cash or check donations are also welcome. Jean will take the funds donated and buy gift cards or other gifts to be donated as well.
Baby, it's cold outside! So the Rotary Club of Edina Holiday Party must be right around the corner! The annual holiday gathering will be Thursday, Dec. 20, starting at 5:30 p.m. Join your fellow Rotarians and their guests for hearty appetizers and a cash bar at the Edina Country Club. Linda Peterson, of the incredibly talented Peterson Family, will be performing to put everyone in the holiday spirit!

Thank you so much for the beautiful bouquet of fall flowers! The arrangement has really helped brighten these gray and cool autumn days we've been having.!
I can happily say that I'm well on the road to recovery...in large part due to the well wishes from friends like you!
Celebration and giving was in the air Nov. 21 when Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Edina and the Edina Morningside Rotary Club, along with family and friends, gathered at the Edina Country Club to assemble 80 Thanksgiving baskets. Then teams delivered the baskets to families in need in our community. The annual event was chaired again this year by Michael Stanzak, with help from Mary Hustad.
