EMRC SPRING SOCIAL
EMRC SPRING SOCIAL, Thursday March 26th, 5:30 p.m., The District Edina
 
Come to the District (7777 Washington Ave S, Edina) and get to know EMRC Rotarians to include new members, potential members (yes bring one if you know one) and of course each other.  
 
Enjoy the evening socializing over wine, beer and light appetizers. The event starts at 530 PM and we have the space till 730PM.  All will be provided by the club, but like last time feel free to bring a bottle of wine to share. 
 
The District is the perfect venue with private space that works well as a place to get to know new members and other Rotarians.  Please be there by 6pm as at that time each of us will have a chance to tell their "Rotary Story".
