For 2020,
While the in-person Strive Scholarship Taco John's Run Baby Run 5K was changed to a virtual race, the committee did allow a family of three to run today. The Schwartz family sons from Roaming Shore, Ohio have a goal to run a 5K in each state. We were their Minnesota race, and a small group from The Rotary Club of White Bear Lake/Strive Scholarship timed the in-person race for them today. A great start to Manitou Days 2020!

White Bear Lake Rotary 40th year as a Rotary Club.
Thank you to the White B

Not one to toot its own horn, the White Bear Lake Rotary Club deserves recognition in this, its 40th anniversary year. The club's accomplishments are many.
One gem of a project is the Rotary Park Nature Preserve.
Longtime Rotarian Ken Baltzer remembers shingling the picnic shelter roof late into the night back in 2000. He joked that he's still waiting for a steak dinner promised volunteers by then Rotary president Tim Geck. The club donated not only labor for the park, but paid $87,000 for materials to build a restroom, picnic pavilion and, later, the boardwalk through the preserve.
Then there's the monument and sidewalk project at Clark and Lake Avenues for which Rotary contributed $50,000. Its members raised the money from the annual Manitou Days beach dance. The club donated another $50,000 for the Lakeshore Players Theatre box office, also using money from beach dance profits.
