“Where there is a need, there is a Lion”
Events of the past month
May 1 Thursday 12PM President Tom Hollatz arranged for Secretary of State, Steve Simon, to speak at our joint Rotary-Lions Law Day meeting. As Secretary of State, he partners with township, city, and county officials to organize elections on behalf of Minnesota’s nearly four million eligible voters, and to ensure that the election system is fair. He was pleased with the recent election that had high turnout and low drama.
