Welcome to the Minnesota – Dakotas website! The District Bulletin Editor, Mark Nyquist has done a fantastic job of creating and maintaining the website to be a reliable resource for the District. He is also in the process of adding new content such as a resource page that will contain useful information all in one location, so keep checking the site to see all the updates he is making.

This year we are trying something new, a District Large Scale Service Project (DLSSP) as a way to keep Circle K excitement up throughout the summer and as another event to help create fellowship among the members of our District. The first annual DLSSP will be June 25th to the 27th in the Twin Cities. We will be camping out at Camp Spring Lake in Rosemount having an awesome time hanging out and making s’mores on the campfire. During the Day on Saturday we will be in St. Paul doing a landscaping project with Habitat for Humanity. It will be a weekend full of fun, excitement, laughter, and service what more could you want out of a weekend? The registration fee is $35 and must be received by June 9th to Jodi Piekarski, an Assistant Administrator. We can only accept the first 28 registrations because of the campsite and service project, so register soon!

I am excited to see what our great District will accomplish this year. I can’t wait to visit all of the clubs this year and meet more fantastic people! Thanks for electing me as your Governor and let’s have an awesome year!
