Have you heard? This year there is a challenge between The Rotary Club of Edina and Edina Morningside Rotary Club to see which club will get the highest percentage of members to donate $25 or more to The Rotary Foundation. We would like to get 100% participation during this campaign and show EMRC we are the "Best Club in the Universe". Please Read More on how you can participate.

Dear Rotary Club of Edina Members,
 
Thank you so very much for the opportunity to speak at your meeting on Thursday about my four-year adventure at Edina A Better Chance and Edina High School.
 
Even as I look forward to Harvard this fall (and balancing that with finishing strong at Edina High School), I am humbled by the opportunity this community has given me.
 
Many of you have asked me or Dan Hunt how you can support Edina ABC. If you would like to make a donation you can do so here. If you are a contractor (or know of one) who is willing to donate labor or materials or both, please contact Dan Hunt dhunt7152@gmail.com.
 
You can learn more about Edina ABC here: http://www.edinaabc.org/.
 
Again, thank you!
 
Sincerely,
 
Adaolisa Mbe
Edina Class of ‘23
