June 27, 2010 was an important and exciting day for the Rotary Clubs of Minot andBrandon as members of both clubs attended the sod turning at the InternationalPeace Garden for the Memorial to the 9/11 tragedy in New York.


 
Our thanks go to PDGs Rick Felstead and Jim Ozbun for their work in putting together the plans for this excellent memorial. Members and clubs of District 5550 may contact PDG Rick Felstead about financial contributions to the development of the memorial. Email:   felstead@mts.net

After the ceremony, everyone enjoyed a fine dinner. DG Nancy Morris had the privilege of presiding over the installation of the incoming Presidents and Officers of both clubs. The Presidents of each club then signed the Partnership Declaration between their clubs. This is the culmination of discussions over the last year between the clubs. Once again, it is an example of reaching out across a border between two friendly nations.
