Bravo Zulu House, Holly Callen

Bravo Zulu House is the first all-Veteran sober living facility in the United States for vets suffering from PTSD and addiction. The first house is being built in Winnebago, MN. Our own Holly Callen is a Founding Board Member of Bravo Zulu and our club is the lead – along with 5 other clubs and District 5950 - on a $40,000 Rotary Grant to fund the purchase and installation of a Wheelchair Lift.
Holly will tell us all about Bravo Zulu and how we can participate in the Grand Opening Ceremonies on May 28th.

Natural Ethics, Paul Kautz
Thursday, June 12, Noon
Paul Kautz grew up fishing and hiking in the mountains of Idaho as a child living on tiny United States Forest Service ranger stations. After an exciting career in computers, he pivoted to a 10 year stint teaching "Wilderness First Aid and Leave No Trace" to people preparing for outdoor adventures. His contributions now take the form of writing books about hiking, based on the many long trails he has traveled. He is currently working on a young readers' series promoting outdoor ethics.
He will tell a few stories from his long distance hiking treks, explain the principles of Leave No Trace, and share how making ethical decisions is impactful on nature.

Welcome to the Eden Prairie Noon Rotary Club website; thank you for visiting. As you can see from the photos, we are an action-filled, fun club.
I am Bill Hooke and I am a founding member of the Eden Prairie Rotary Noon Club. I am both proud and honored to fill the role of President for the 2024- 25 year. We feel fortunate to be able to give back to our community. There are local projects as well as national and international missions our Club contributes. You may know us from some of our community fundraising events. These include Rib Fest and the Frisbee Golf tournament at Staring Lake each June and Pong Fest, which is held at Fat Pants Brewery.
