NEW MEMBER PROPOSAL: CHERYL YOUAKIM
District 46B State Representative Cheryl Youakim
 
 
I met Peter during one of the community conversations that I hold at the local library as a State Representative. We subsequently had coffee and found out that we had Rotary in common. I used to be a member of the Minnetonka Rotary years ago. Peter invited me to an Edina Morningside meeting and I was very impressed with the club.
 
For information about Rotary membership, please contact Peter Williams.

ROTARY AND DEI
Rotary strives for the fair treatment and advancement of all Rotary participants. Embracing equity means carefully considering how to provide differing levels of support, opportunities, and resources so participants have a welcoming and productive experience. 
 
When we embrace equity, we create an environment built on respect and dignity for all participants. 
 
Watch for more to come in the coming weeks on this topic!
