Folds of Honor
IN THE FOLDED FLAG WE SEE THE HEAVY PRICE OF FREEDOM
Yet it’s also a symbol of hope, representing the enduring ideals that make this country a beacon of democracy. We chose this logo because it reflects our mission – to honor the sacrifice of America’s heroes, while giving hope to the bearers of their legacy.

Folds of Honor has grown from a vision into a movement. This folded flag is a constant reminder of those who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom. It inspires us to help equip and educate their loved ones in need of our support.

This week at Wayzata Rotary Club we will feature Lisa Najarian, Author as our guest speaker:

UnPack That!

Lisa is the author of the new book *UnPack That!*, an inspiring guide that encourages people to let go of the emotional baggage, limiting beliefs, and life experiences that often prevent them from living with greater purpose, resilience, and joy. Her presentation is motivational, interactive, and highly relevant to today's personal and professional challenges. Rather than focusing on self-help theory, Lisa shares practical tools and compelling personal stories that help audiences:

- Build resilience through life's unexpected challenges
- Recognize and release emotional "baggage" that holds them back
- Improve relationships at work and at home
- Lead with authenticity and compassion
- Prioritize personal wellness while continuing to serve others

Music by the Lake has concluded for the 2026 season....and what a great season we had thanks to you!

Wayzata Rotary Club will have our regular weekly meetings beginning this Wednesday, August 19th at Wayzata American Legion. This week, we will feature Shel Melroe as our guest speaker regarding Stress:

Through decades of corporate roles as an internal and external consultant, Shel Melroe pursued the mystery - how do human systems actually work, and what drives change within them? When knowledge gaps remained, she turned to a chapter as a trauma therapist. This led her to appreciate the space between what science can measure and what only a person can experience. In her current consultancy, she guides executives using Humanistic Leadership, an approach she developed to reorient leaders to the natural dynamics of growth in human systems. One approach, multiple scales: within the leader, within the organization, and across boundaries.
