Thank you Rotaract Club of Edina!

Recently, we adopted Lake Susan Park in Chanhassen, MN 🌳 and we're heading back out for another cleanup!

What's it look like to volunteer for this?
Basically we will just show up and clean. We'll provide the gloves and everything needed.

Curious about Rotaract membership?
DM us, and we can tell you more about it.

Help communicate important things about your home to help our emergency response teams. Through Community Connect, residents can provide essential information—such as their residence type, whether or not they have fire sprinklers, or designated family meeting places—which helps our firefighters respond effectively and make informed decisions. Do you have any pets? How about mobility or functional needs? Every bit of information saves vital time in an emergency.

Oh, and did we mention there are prizes? Residents who sign up their home before the Fire Department Open House not only are entered into a raffle for prizes, but they also can help their street win big!
