They graciously invited me to sit in on the student participants’ planning time. They were adding finishing touches to the projects they would be pitching to a Venture Capitalist, in the hopes of being awarded a $1,000,000 to launch their “company.”

I was extremely impressed with the atmosphere of positivity and cooperation present among all students. It was a great sunny weekend, after all!

I was able to watch Joe Cavanaugh, President and CEO of Youth Frontiers, give an inspirational speech to the students about “taking off the mask” and being true to one’s self.

I truly hope our members are able to support the Edina Rotary clubs next year, by serving as facilitators at Camp Enterprise!
