Roadside Clean Up: TODAY
To celebrate Earth Day, we will do our annual spring clean up on Monday, April 22 at 5:30 pm. We adopted a section of the road to Buffalo to clean up each spring and fall.
We will meet at St. Michael Elementary, 101 Central Ave W AT 5:30 and then head over to the section together. We will grab drinks afterwards, and did I hear pull tabs with the legendary Sandy?
Kevin has the vests and garbage bags, you just need to bring gloves to wear. Please wear long pants and good shoes that can get dirty, the ditches may be a little wet. It takes about 1.5 hours to complete.

Goals of the event, day of:
- During social time, ask the visitors why they came, what they are hoping to get from Rotary, and what are their questions.
- Schedule a coffee or lunch with the visitor before they leave. Goal is to have two Rotarians meet with the visitor afterwards. If you invited the visitor, you will be one of the Rotarians to schedule and take out. We can find the second Rotarian after the meet up has been scheduled.
- Send each visitor home with a Membership folder with application
PR/Marketing
Corey created a FB event, please share it. Please share on your personal and business FB pages. We will also share on the STMA board on FB and send a press release to local newspapers.
Invites
- You were sent a formal letter via email last week so you can customize and mail or hand deliver to the person you are inviting.
- We will also send out the Evite like last event, so please send any email addresses and names to Christine Konz.
We need one volunteer to stand at the desk to welcome each guest and have them sign in so we can follow up. Send your interest to me, please.
Rotary Golf Scramble
Monday, May 20th, Monticello Rotary Club and our club will be hosting a golf scramble to raise some much needed money for our community projects.
Each member is responsible for bringing in one sponsorship and/or team to play. Golf flyer/registration was sent to you in a separate email. Deadline is May 1st to get your sponsorship or team. Please check the Sponsor List and the Teams List to see what you signed up for, or to sign up for reaching out to sponsors and teams.
District Conference
Registration is now open for District Conference! This is always the biggest district event of the year, with lots of energy, fun, great learnings, and networking with other Rotarians across Minnesota.
My goal is to have at minimum 3 people from our club attending the event. Car pooling is a possibility, so let me know if you are going.
Yours in fellowship,
Tracy Larson
The St. Michael-Albertville Rotary Club is pleased to announce that St. Michael- Albertville High School juniors Emery Bell and Grace Davis were recognized as the Rotary Students of the month for April.
Members of the St. Michael-Albertville and Monticello Rotary Clubs along with the Crisis Nursery and Family Youth Community Connections (FYCC) have teamed up to provide beds for kids who otherwise would not have a bed to sleep in.
There are hundreds of children in our area who sleep on a floor rather than in a bed. We are providing these beds to the kids at no cost, but to the kids who get the beds they are priceless. The children apply via Family Youth Community Connections (FYCC) who coordinates with Crisis Nursery, Rivers of Hope, Wright County Human Services, and the School Districts of Wright County for this program.
The local Rotary Clubs have been successful in securing additional donations of bed frames, mattresses, bedding sets, plush animal toys and books to help us stretch the dollars that our clubs can contribute to this very exciting project.
However, there is still a need and we would be happy to accept the donations of cash, bedding, pillows, full size sheet sets, full size blankets, and full size comforters provided the items are NEW. Anyone that would like more information about this project is welcome to contact any Rotarian from St. Michael-Albertville or Monticello or Call Sandy from FYCC at (763) 416-7912.
Donation drop off sites are Courage Kenny of Albertville, Tree of Life, Financial Security Bank, and Community Development Bank.
STMA Rotary strives to improve the quality of life for our community members and to meet it's needs through targeted projects.
Projects include Beds for Kids, Student of the Month, Cork & Keg 5K fundraiser, Annual Holiday Tree Lighting, Fish Fry fundraiser to support WEB, Library project in Cambodia, Wakami Village project in Guatemala, Little Libraries and water fountains in our parks, Read Across America, Adopt-a-highway, and many more.
We support local programs and organizations, such as STMA Robotics Team, Crisis Nursery, FYCC, St. Michael Royalty, Albertville Royalty, Super Mileage Club, Open Streets, Shelter Box, student scholarships, and ending human trafficking.
