While we didn't have club meetings the last 2 weeks in December that didn't mean Rotary or Rotarians are dormant. Several gathered to pick up dozens of Christmas trees donated by Rum River Tree Farm (which has set up the last several years at the Meadowlands Cub Foods). We hauled the trees over to Ramsey County Beach/launch in preparation for the Bear'ly Open.
Then other group of festive Rotarians gathered at the Country Inn to help wrap candy to give to senior guests at the Dinner with Santa which many have supported and will again this year. #rotary

Several #whitebearlake Rotarians met this afternoon near downtown White Bear Lake at Matoska Park, where with the help of the city it erected a Peace Pole (worldpeace.org). The timing is excellent, as we met today with young visitors from #ukraine who are staying and engaging in our area as part of a leadership trip. Our club and host families are heavily involved in supporting this great group, which is in need of some peace in their lives. Meeting at the pole is a good reminder of that common hope of humanity. As the pole says in multiple languages, May Peace Prevail on Earth. #peacepole #Rotary #ImagineRotary #rotarydistrict5960 
Global Synergy Group ( GSG) is a Minnesota non-profit which facilitates civic and cultural exchanges primarily with Ukraine. USG formed a youth Leadership Engagement and Development Program (YouLEAD) to host young Ukrainian youth leaders. With the help of the WBL Rotary, YouLEAD is hosting 18 Ukrainian youth, ages 13-18, and 4 chaperones from the Cities of Odessa, Kharkiv, and Boryspil. They are staying with host families in WBL and other parts of the Metro area for 5 weeks from August 10 through September 15, 2022. Each week, the programing for the youth leaders is focused on a different leadership and civic engagement topic, such as government and public service; culture and society; business and entrepreneurship; community and volunteerism; education and learning. Irina Fursman led the Rotary program by first having all of the youth leaders and chaperones introduce themselves and state what their most enjoyable event has been so far. After the introductions, everyone separated into breakout-tables or on-line rooms for 3 different rounds of discussion centered on business and community. Irina, thank you for the excellent discussion and program. The young Ukraine leaders are impressive in so many ways. We wish them and their wonderful country the very best. Irina, also thank you for all your hard work with YouLEAD and introducing usKowalski's Strive 10 Miler & 5K, Sunday November 6, 2022
