We were fortunate to have a beautiful day for our event, despite the chilly winds at the picnic pavilion! A bald eagle sighting on our walk over was a wonderful and symbolic start, often associated with strength, clarity, and opportunity.
A big thank-you to all our volunteers and partners who made the day such a success! Angela from VLAWMO and Pat from Rotary adapted the Incredible Journey activity to teach students about the water cycle and common pollutants. Jim, Jennifer, Darrel, and Elisa led engaging nature activities, including trail mix, a scavenger hunt, and an educational hike. Emilee and Sahra from H2O for Life, along with Rotarian Mark, brought the Global Water Challenge to life and helped students better understand the global water crisis.
Special thanks to our amazing teachers and assistants for their dedication to empowering students, and to Allison and David for coordinating supplies and the schedule. Finally, thank you to Andy and his City of White Bear Lake staff for maintaining the Rotary Nature Preserve and making sure the restrooms were available. We are grateful to everyone who helped make this a memorable and educational day for the students!
The Jingle Bear Auction will be hosted by our club starting on November 18 at 1 pm and will end on November 21 at 8 pm. The Jingle Bear Auction raises funds for our club to continue the wonderful work we do locally and globally.
The Rotary Nature Preserve is a 40-acre city-owned natural area in White Bear Lake, located just north of Birch Lake between White Bear Parkway and Birch Lake Boulevard North. It is a particularly nice spot for a short walk, bird watching, nature photography, and environmental education.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this year's Taste of White Bear Lake a success!
Rotary members rolled up their sleeves to help keep White Bear Lake beautiful by cleaning up Clark Avenue in beautiful Downtown White Bear Lake. From picking weeds and litter to showing pride in the community, these volunteers proved that small acts make a big difference. Their dedication reflects the Rotary spirit of “Service Above Self” and helps make our neighborhoods cleaner, safer, and more welcoming for everyone. Thank you to the Rotary team for investing their time and energy into making White Bear Lake shine.
