Thank you for your interest, we hope that you can join us! 

This is the 3rd year that the Rotary Club of Prior Lake has sponsored this Ethics Workshop specifically designed for PLSAS Juniors and Seniors which was developed by University of St. Thomas Professor, Dr. Jason Skirry.  For teh 2019/2020 school year, we are again proud to be partnering with teh students and faculty at MNCAPS.  This workshop will be a one-day "retreat" focused on these areas:

• Importance of identifying and building awareness around your moral character (i.e. Who you are and who you want to be)

• The human psychology including the barriers that can block us from making good decisions

• A fundamental framework for analyzing and thinking through ethical dilemmas

• Practice applying that framework to create transparency into the available courses of action and assist in identifying the best path forward, when faced with an ethical dilemma

Our workshop facilitator: Dr. Jason Skirry. University of St. Thomas Professor  (link to his bio https://business.stthomas.edu/faculty-research/faculty-bios/skirry-jason/index.html)

There is no cost to attend and attendance is limited based on available seating (roughly 75 students).  Breakfast and lunch will be provided by the Prior Lake Rotary Club and our local business partners.  Although school faculty are in support of this workshop, students are expected to make proper arrangements with their other classes to be out of school that day.  Finding transportation to and from the workshop is the responsibility of the students.

 I started Marilyn's TWOcan- free bike rides for Seniors 3 years ago
in memory of my polio-surviving mother who lived with 2 paralyzed legs.
When her world began to shrink, I bought a Danish-made trike to take her
riding. When she passed, I decided to put her trike to good use. I
fundraised for a second bike with a wheelchair platform and have taken both
bikes to senior centers across the metro area for two full seasons already.
We gave over 300 rides last year and have doubled that amount to 600 rides
so far this year. Every other week we are in Prior Lake's beautiful Cleary
Lake Park taking busloads of seniors each on a 3.35 mile ride through the
park.

Starting comedy on a whim at an open mic in the year 2000, Mike Brody has since devoted his life to perfecting the delivery of his high-energy act. Bucking the trend of the apathetic comedian, his genuine passion for his craft draws audience members into the unique world of Mike Brody: An affable, clever guy whose life is often derailed by his own neurotic, obsessive-compulsive and clumsy tendencies. 

Brody has spent the last 19 years touring the U.S. and internationally, and has also been featured on the nationally syndicated radio program "The Bob & Tom Show" as well as the "The Dan Patrick Show" podcast. He's recorded two comedy albums on Rooftop Comedy, with tracks regularly featured on SirusXM Satellite Radio.

Prior Lake is a community of small town values with an extensive park system at its very core.  Its 54 Parks covering 800 acres connected by trails and sidewalks offer kids, families, neighbors and organized sport the year around opportunity to meet, learn and enjoy one another’s company. But parks, trails and sidewalks deteriorate and require renewal. The city has been working on a park master plan to schedule and finance the capital improvements required to renew the park system.  Join the Prior Lake Rotary Club on Wednesday, April 22 to learn from city officials about this important topic and the role each of us play.

Invite Blaine/Ham Lake to join us.
