Team, as of today we are 47% full for volunteer positions for the KA Bike Duluth Festival. With being 50% full on Saturday and only 10% full on Sunday, we still need everyone's help to make this event happen! Saturday we could still use help with Youth Activities, Parking Attendants, Mid-Day Race Registration, and General Race Course help. Sunday we have a great deal of positions open and lots of availability in all areas. 

 

Volunteer check in is in the lower Chalet on Grand Ave, main level of the Chalet (near the bar!) When you enter the doors the volunteer table will be easy to see, it is by the fireplace and Carl Maki or another assistant will be there all day to direct people where to go.  Maps will be provided if you are helping with a race or area located away from the Chalet.

 

 

Please follow the link and sign up for a time slot that works for you. It is a 3-day event and some of the volunteer spots are only a couple of hours. Feel free to invite others also, it would be a great way to introduce someone to Rotary in action.

 

 

Feel free to call Carl 218-481-4200 or email carl.maki@asdcosupply.us if you have questions.

Karl Everett has been in contact with Segundo from Mano a Mano to provide a Laguna Sulti well update:

 

As part of a new Presidential and PR initiative, Heather Salfer and Charity Johnson are asking each active member to please update your profile in ClubRunner as soon as possible. Please be sure to upload/include a recent photograph as well.

 

If you have any questions about logging into ClubRunner or where you update your information, please contact Charity at csjohnson@starbasemn.org.

 

Thank you for your prompt response on this!

Show your Rotary pride with new official Harbortown logo wear!

 

Thank you to Heather Salfer and John Cron for creating the official Harbortown Rotary Apparel website. Click the link below, select your favorite apparel brand, use the newly branded Harbortown logo, and place your order! Prices vary depending on the brand you select.

 

NEW! Light colored embroidery options are now available for dark apparel. See below for example of thread color.

 

 

 

If you have an upcoming program duty (please check the upcoming duty roster), please be sure to secure a speaker and provide notice to Rick Oase (rickoase@yahoo.com) or Stephanie Judd (sljudd@gmail.com) as soon as that speaker is confirmed. If you are unable to confirm a speaker, consider other program ideas like a Ted Talk, presenting yourself on a relevant topic or your business, or creating some excitement for a community organization you are passionate about. It is your program, so think about what is interesting and engaging to you and share it with others! 

 

If for some reason you are unable to switch duties with another member or you have simply exhausted all efforts to find a speaker, please notify Rick or Stephanie no later than 3 business days before the meeting (the Friday before the meeting your program is scheduled).

 

 

Thank you for your help and thank you to all who are working hard to find engaging content for our upcoming sessions!
