Excelsior Rotary Club Provides 7560 Meals for Haiti

The Rotary Club of Excelsior met at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church on Tuesday, November 11th to package food for the people of Haiti as part of the "Kid Against Hunger Program." The 22 Rotarians worked in four teams and packed just over 35 boxes that contained 7560 meals in just over one hour. This annual international service project is funded by the club's members skipping their usual lunch at Bay View Center and donating the lunch cost of the 50 members to pay for the food ingredients that make up the meals. The annual event is also a competition with the Minnetonka -Excelsior Rotary Club (that met a couple of weeks ago to package food) and this year's winner was the Excelsior Rotary Club. Ross McGlasson, Assistant Rotary Governor and volunteer for the Kids Against Hunger Program said, "The Excelsior Rotary Club has a really good crew to package this amount of food and this short period of time. Both Rotary Clubs do a great job and provide a wonderful service to the people of Haiti."
