Continuing and building on an annual theme, White Bear Lake Rotarian Ken Galloway presented a check for more than $24,000 to Andrea Kish-Bailey, executive director of the White Bear Lake Food Shelf -- money raised at this year's Bear'ly Open winter golf bonanza on White Bear Lake. Kish-Bailey thanked the club and said the money is welcome -- the food shelf is busy meeting more demands. "Last year we served almost 4,000 individuals," she said, "with over 11,000 visits." The food shelf provided more than 600,000 meals.

Ann Frisch People of Action:Champion of Peace!

Champion of Peace! Ann Frisch, White Bear Lake.

We are pleased to announce that Ann Frisch, White Bear Lake Rotarian, has been selected by Rotary International as People of Action: Champion of Peace!

This is a significant honor for Ann, as she is one of only six Rotarians throughout the world to be recognized. Her efforts in unarmed civilian peacekeeping worldwide are amazing, and she is very deserving of this recognition.

Fittingly, Rotary International announced this award today, International Peace Day. Ann will be officially recognized at "Rotary Day at the United Nations", which is taking place for the first time ever at the United Nations European Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland in November. Congratulating Ann for this tremendous honor. We're very proud to have you in our Club!
