Join us Wednesday, December 1st at 7:30am in the Holiday Inn Great Lakes Ballroom as we hear an update from Juhl Halverson on Harbortown's Charitable Foundation.
Safety and Health Considerations: When attending in-person Harbortown events, the club strongly encourages unvaccinated individuals to wear a mask at meetings or other gatherings. If for any reason, a member or guest would like to wear a mask regardless of vaccination status, we encourage them to do so. Thank you for your efforts to keep all of our Harbortown Rotarians safe!
For the entire month of November, the Harbortown Rotary Charitable Foundation, the Hermans Scholarship Fund, and the Donald Holm Founders Fund will be the recipients of all ROUND UP funds generated at the Mount Royal cash registers! We encourage you all to please patronize Mt. Royal Market throughout November, and ROUND UP your purchase dollars to donate to the Harbortown Rotary Charitable Foundation fundraiser.
Thanks!
Scott, Greg, Juhl, Jeremy, Jinell, Jim, Dan, & Craig

Questions or need pickup? Contact Chloe Strand (218.340.2531 / chloe.strand@hdchrc.org)
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).
The Holiday Inn has dedicated a laptop for weekly Harbortown use. All presenters need to bring is a USB drive with the PowerPoint presentation (or whatever is wanted to be shown on the projector while speaking). Please share this information with your program's presenter.
Because Harbortown is asked by the Holiday Inn for RSVPs each week, Rob will RSVP each weekly presenter to ensure the presenter gets breakfast. If the presenter is bringing a guest, please let Rob know so he can RSVP the guest, as well. Questions? Please contact Rob Haglin (rhaglin@awkuettel.com).
Thank you for your help and thank you to all who are working hard to find engaging content for our upcoming sessions!
Upcoming Program Duties:
Feb. 16 - Hands-On Second Harvest Food Bank
Feb. 23 - Carl Maki
Mar. 2 - Dan Holm
Mar. 9 - Rick Cleath

For Scuttlebutt: If you are hosting the program speaker, please copy Charity and Chloe on the speaker's name, organization, and email. If you are the chair of a Harbortown Committee, please update Charity and Chloe on relevant information regarding grants and awards, meetings or news.

It is our goal to continue to share the good work that Harbortown Rotary is doing in our community, so your help and support is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
