PRESENTATION: The Prior Lake Rotary Club, a 501c3 non-profit, was founded in 1978 and
has a long history of providing monetary and service support to the Prior
Lake community.
Commitments include nearly 30 years of sponsoring the DARE Day event
(formerly DARE Bike-a-thon), donation of DARE police vehicles, funding
and maintenance of the Rotary Gateway Park, funding assistance for
DARE officers, and funding for the speed display unit and lntoxiclock,
among others.
The Rotary is able to support these types of community service activities
because of its fundraising activities. The latest undertaking by the Rotary is
the Prior Lake Rotary Lakefront Jazz & Blues Festival. Although this event
is a fundraiser for club, the Rotary also views it as a community service -
offering the concerts for FREE admission to the public.
In order to highlight its latest event, and in recognition of the quality support
the Rotary donates each year to our Prior Lake community, staff is
recommending that Saturday, July 10, 2010 be proclaimed Rotary Day in
Prior Lake.
RECOMMENDED Mayor Myser is asked to read the attached proclamation.
