Spencer Puett, Andy Tan and Alexa Tessman - Camp Enterprise
Three Eden Prairie High School seniors who attended Rotary’s recent Camp Enterprise reported Jan. 8 on their experiences.
Spencer Puett, Andy Tan, and Alexa Tessman were sponsored by A.M. Rotary and were among 10 EPHS students overall who attended the three-day camp, which focused on leadership and business skills. Students from throughout the district attended the event, which was held at the YMCA’s Camp Ihduhapi in Independence, Minnesota.
The students were divided into small groups, and team-building activities helped determine which business-related roles would be taken on by the students as they began work on a business case study and presentation. Spencer was his team’s chief financial officer, Andy was his team’s chief technology officer, and Alexa was her team’s chief marketing officer.
2018 holiday party
Members gathered with family and friends to celebrate the Holiday Season. We were greeted by the beautiful sounds of the Eden Prairie High School Concert Chamber Choir including 20 students under the direction of Julie Cantoch who has been directing the group for 28 years.
Jenifer Loon emceed the party including the holiday sweater competition which was won by Madeline McGinty. Jay Simpson then read There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bell while being accompanied by bells rung by the children in attendance.
The meeting concluded with the Choir singing a few more songs and introducing themselves and sharing their post-secondary plans.
MARK BOYD, BUFFALO (MN) ROTARY CLUB: THE LIBRARY TELESCOPE PROJECT
Imagine that you could go to your local library, check out an amazing telescope, and learn about the cosmos from your bedroom window or deck. Buffalo (MN) Rotarian Mark Boyd didn’t just imagine it, he made it happen.
He wrote a grant application and secured Rotary funding to place 20 reflector telescopes in libraries that are part of the Great River Regional Library System northwest of the Twin Cities, and now he’d like to see Rotary clubs expand the project to about 240 libraries in the metro area.
It’s not a new idea. Mark says telescopes have been placed in thousands of libraries nationwide. But this lifelong astronomer has brought it home, making it possible for kids in his part of the state to check out a 4.5-inch reflector telescope for three weeks at a time, along with the learning materials that can get them star- and planet-gazing quickly.
