ROTARY CLUB OF ORONO, MINNESOTA
Date: 11/7/13
Guests and Visiting Rotarians: Brian McCollor (Speedy)
Announcements: Melanie gave an update on the International Festival. This year Rotary Club of Orono had a UN stamp for around the world activity. The young children who did the dance were very good and very proud of themselves. This is a great contribution our club makes to this event.
No meeting on Thursday next week as we are meeting at the Bayview Center in Excelsior on Tuesday, November 12, at noon with several other clubs.
We will contribute $200 to the Warm, Hands, Heads, and Hearts project again this year.
The Veteran’s Day ceremony will be at 4:30, Monday, November 11, at Nelson Park. If you can’t make that one there is one at the Nursing Home in Maple Plain at 2:00 on Monday.
Happy Bucks Highlights: Happy the Orono School District Referendum passed. Melanie was happy Andy won the Scarecrow contest in Maple Plain. (music/band theme). Kevin was happy he got to go to the Delta Marsh in Manitoba, Canada duck hunting. Ted figured out the old way of looking for deer is better than new technology. Mike is hoping luck will change in watching the Texas A&M football team this weekend.
Speaker Notes: Scott Welle was our speaker this morning. He is a motivational speaker for personal, business, sports psychology, or just about any area.
Scott gave an example of how things get into your head. “Pushing the SUBMIT button to sign up for something you are really not sure you want or can accomplish.”
Most everyone’s fear is “public speaking”. Why? You feel judged.
All successful athletes have 1) a good attitude and feel grateful when they wake up in the morning. This puts them into a good mindset for the day. 3 things that help you become successful: 1) attitude
2) effort
3) preparation
How we adopt habits:
We try to change too much in too little time. Only 5% can change things this way. Start out changing 1 little thing for 30 days. Then another small thing the next 30 days and so forth. You then will be more successful changing 12 different things in a year.
Awareness of small habits create outcome best.
3 things people wish they would have done more:
1) more time with relationships
2) more fun
3) taken more risks
Breaking outside of your comfort zone within reason helps fulfill life.
October 31st Meeting
Happy Halloween. Happy bucks were filled with stories of the past Halloween activities.
Our speaker was Lisa, who is an Exchange Student with us for the year. Lisa talked about her mother who is a teacher and her father who is a salesman of computers. Lisa's brother is 21 years old and is currently serving I the army; she also has a 7 year old sister and a 3 year old brother. Tintin, the family dog, rounds out her family.

When the Orono Rotary Club announced plans last fall to lead the building of an outdoor classroom on the Orono schools’ campus, great things happened.
First, a long-time wish of many teachers and educators who have had a vision for using and enhancing this unique space located near the shores of Lake Claussen west of the stadium on the school’s main campus was finally becoming a reality. And second, a family who has long desired to create a special memorial for their son finally had an opportunity to realize their vision.
And so, at the Orono School Board meeting held April 8, an agreement was accepted to name the nature preserve area as the “Oliver Grieb Abbott Environmental Learning Center” in memory of Oliver Abbott who died at the age of four and a half in June of 2005. The Orono schools have also agreed that the outdoor classroom being constructed on that site will be named the “Orono Rotary Learning Pavilion.”
“Over the years there have been many who have worked on making this a reality,” said Karen Orcutt, the Orono School’s Superintendent. “The dream has taken different forms with different originators,” she said. “But then Orono Rotary stepped up to make this happen and stick with the project through its many ups and downs.”
When the Abbott family learned of the project, from their friend John Quinlivan, they along with Oliver’s grandmother Patricia Grieb Abbott, stepped forward with funding offers as a tribute to Oliver.
In an emotional address to those gathered, Willi Abbott thanked everyone involved in making his dream come true. Speaking on behalf of his wife Kimberli, their three children, Morgan, Henry and George all of whom were in attendance, Willi expressed, “While everyone here is thanking us, it is our family that is grateful for the wonderful gift you have given us. This memorial to “my little buddy” is creating a space that will honor him and keep his memory alive, an honor that will last many lifetimes.” He later stated, “Kim said it best, ‘This is perfect, it’s where Oliver is, outside, where I feel him most.’ That’s where he is for me too.”
Roland Aberg, a nationally renowned landscape architect and community resident, designed the pavilion with an eye to future expansion to make the nature preserve a truly glorious place. Aberg and his architectural firm, Hart Howerton, along with Orono art instructor Jo-Anne Kirkman, have also been instrumental in designing and installing a series of trails and viewing platforms in the nature preserve area.
“This is a shining example of what happens when civic, community and private enterprise all work together for the greater good,” said John Malone, Chair of the Orono School Board. “I can’t help but believe this will serve as a model for other schools and organizations to follow.”
“This project is the result of many supporters, and will be a wonderful addition for our children that will enhance the learning experience for generations to come, “ said Mike Fleitman, Orono Rotary President. “We are within $7,500 of our initial funding goal for this $100,000 project. The footings and posts went in last fall, and we should finish building this spring. So there are still ways to get involved and funding needs to help finish the project.”
Orono Rotary’s efforts to fund construction of the pavilion have been aided by grants from two other area Rotary clubs from Wayzata and Plymouth, as well as Rotary district matching grants, generous donations from Lake Community Bank, the Orono Class of 2012 and a number of individual donors. Additional donations are being sought to complete and enhance the project.
In connection with its fundraising efforts, Orono Rotary has established four recognition levels: Partnership Donors ($5,000+), Pillar Donors ($1,500+), Foundation Donors ($500+), and Supporting Donors ($150+). While donations of any amount will be gratefully accepted by the Orono Rotary Foundation, donors in these categories will be recognized permanently at the pavilion site. For more information, contact Rotary members Mike Fleitman at mikefleitman@hotmail.com or Bob Tunheim at rtunheim@lindquist.com.

Our third annual Veteran's Day celebration took place at Otten Brothers. Though the skies were cloudy, it didn't deter the community from showing their support. National Guard troops based in Monticello, MN, brought vehicles for young and old alike to admire. The Orono Police and Long Lake Fire Department joined us with their vehicles. American Legion Post 514 provided the color guard and flag ceremony. The prayer was given by the Legion Chaplain and then Gary McPherson, Post Commander, said a few words. Lieutenant Colonel Fred DuFault, Orono Rotarian and local resident, then gave a powerful keynote speech about the state of our military. We were reminded to thank the veteran that you know and to pray for the active soldier and their family.

The Orono Rotary Club is taking the lead in constructing a Nature Pavilion to be located behind Schumann Elementary School. The ground was broken in the fall of 2012 and completion is expected in the spring of 2013. The pavilion will enhance the classroom experience by allowing students to learn outdoors and will also be a gathering place for the community.
Proceeds from the Mad Hatter's Ball 2013 will go directly to support this worthwhile project. Look for more information about Mad Hatter 2013 and come be a part of the fun.
