A big thank you to Ed Marek from Northfield Rotary Club for presenting an engaging discussion on "Conversations During These Polarizing Times." Rotarians have been dealing with difficult polarizing conversations throughout history, which is especially relevant and informative as we navigate discussions and interactions today.

This past week Anoka Rotarian Erin Schneider introduced the club to the owner and founder of (the company where she works) MY PATH: Coaching & Consulting, Mr. Nate Evens.

MY PATH helps people with disabilities to achieve their job-related goals without bias for equal pay as their peers around them.

They also help companies hire employees through MY PATH without any risk to the company as the employees are paid and coached through MY PATH while doing the work for the company.

MY PATH has employment specialists throughout the state, from Rochester to Duluth.

So if you know of a company who could use some dedicated, hard-working employees, contact MY PATH to see if they can help!!

The Rotary Club of Anoka had an amazing time at the first ever ACBC Golden Gala last evening! It was a wonderful night of games, gourmet food, and generous giving. All of this in the name of the Anoka County Brotherhood Council - ACBC Food Shelf.

We couldn't be more proud of our past president Stephanie Smith Lehman (the CEO/Executive Director of ACBC) for the fabulous job that her and her team did!!

Congratulations ACBC!! WELL DONE!

This past Thursday our club had the pleasure of hearing from Sarah Herrick-Smisek (Director of Operations for 23rd Veteran,) who not only spoke about their non-profit organization (which works to bring hope to those who have served our country, or worked in "public service" careers, and suffered trauma as a result) but also about their upcoming public event held in Anoka- RUCK LIFE.

RUCK LIFE is a "ruck march" taking place on Saturday, September 12th. Registration/check-in begins at 7:30am, and the march starts at 9:00am. It is dog-friendly and kid-approved, and you can decide whether you want to complete anywhere between 2 and 10 miles. There will also be food & local vendors, awards & giveaways, and LIVE entertainment!!!

Feel free to come and join the RUCK LIFE event!
