Over the next two weeks, our Rotary lunch programs will highlight some of the inspiring things that are going on at Coon Rapids High School. As many of you know, our club has taken a keen interest in youth and we partnered with the school to address important needs, especially in the area of social development. In 2016, Coon Rapids Rotary with the generous support of the BNSF Foundation, helped underwrite the Youth Frontiers Respect Retreat program for incoming 9th graders. Last fall, the event was continued (also with support from the BNSF Foundation) and it is our hope to be involved in similar efforts in the future. We'll learn about the tie-in between the YF Respect Retreat and the on-going CRHS Kindness Campaign on April 30th.
In the meantime, there is another shining example of resurgence at CRHS: the school's Center for Biomedical Sciences and Engineering program, which is growing in both popularity and success. On Monday, April 23rd the club will get to meet some of the faculty to learn about this important program. As someone who has had a chance to meet this group before, you will come away very impressed. We will bring in lunch boxed lunches for those who RSVP'd last week. We do ask that you show up between noon and 12:10 p.m. so that we can start the program on time. You can park in the lot along Northdale and use the main entrance.
