CHANHASSEN ROTARY CLUB
DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD
PURPOSE AND PROCESS
The Chanhassen Rotary Club annually presents its Distinguished Service Award to
one Chanhassen resident who exemplifies Rotary's goal of "Service Above Self." It
is through the selfless and dedicated works of citizens who demonstrate their passion
to serve others that all of our lives are enriched.
Rotary International is a worldwide organization of business and professional
leaders that provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all
vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world. Our club seeks to
recognize those Chanhassen residents who serve others, primarily in our city, in a
manner that is above and beyond the level usually expected of all good citizens.
This will allow us to honor them, encourage others to follow their leadership,
promote civic pride, and advance the ideals of our local Rotary club and Rotary
International.
Our friends and neighbors serve others in ways which our club members may not
even be aware. Therefore, we seek individual nominations from the various non-
profit, religious and civic organizations located and operating within Chanhassen.
The Award Committee will evaluate each nominee's service history, and select two
to three finalists for that year's award. Ballots will be distributed to each identified
Chanhassen organization, and the fmalist who receives the most votes will be
awarded that year's Distinguished Service A ward at the Chanhassen Rotary's annual
Spring Gala.
All nominees will be individually recognized for their service. All finalists will be
publicly recognized at the Spring Gala and will receive a framed certificate. Each
Distinguished Service Award winner will receive an individual award plaque and
have his or her named added to a publicly displayed cOffilnemorative award plate.
Our objective is to build a tradition within the City of Chanhassen. A tradition that
honors those who exemplify "Service Above Self'. A tradition that honors those
that live up to the award's name - the Chanhassen Rota.ry's Distinguished Service
Award.

Dear Todd,
Three Rivers Park District is in the process of updating its System Plan, crafting the
vision and goals which will lead us into the future. As part of that process, we are
striving to answer the question, "How can the Parks profession best prepare for
the future?" To help answer this question, the Park District is hosting a series of
Parks Forums that focus on emerging trends which may impact the future of outdoor
recreation in the Twin Cities metropolitan region.
On behalf of Three Rivers Park District, I would like to invite you, as a recognized
leader within the Twin Cities parks community, to join us at the Parks Forum to hear
a special presentation on macro-trends from Tom Stinson, the State Economist, and
Tom Gillaspy, the State Demographer. Following the presentation, a Parks Expert
Panel will take questions from the audience and will discuss how to best respond to
the challenges that lie ahead.
The Parks Forum will be held on Wednesday, February 4, 2009, from 9:00 AM to
Noon at the Schneider Theater in the Bloomington Civic Plaza. The enclosed flyer
provides additional information about the Forum as well as directions to the
Schneider Theater.
Elected and appointed officials with an interest in parks, park directors, park
professionals, students and others with an interest in parks are encouraged to
attend.
Please RSVP to:
Heather Gates; 763.694.7649; HGates@threeriversparkdistrict.orq
I look forward to seeing you at the Forum!
Sincerely,

Preparing for the future
Wednesday, February 4th

(Directions on the back)
How can the Parks profession best prepare for the future? To help answer this question, Three
Rivers Park District is hosting a series of Parks Forums for local and regional parks professionals and
decision-makers. These forums focus on emerging trends that may impact the future of outdoor
recreation in the Twin Cities metropolitan region.
Responding Today for Tomorrow's Needs
Tom Stinson, State Economist
Tom Gillaspy, State Demographer
9 AM to 10 AM
In this engaging presentation, Tom Stinson and Tom Gillaspy paint a picture of where Minnesota has been,
where it is today, and what challenges lie ahead. Years of research have yielded chilling statistics about
changes in Minnesota's work force and the impact those changes will have on the state in the very near
future. Actions taken in the next five years are critical to the long-term future of the state. As the state's
leading economist and demographer, Stinson and Gillaspy are sharing their conclusions with leaders in
government and the private sector to help prepare for a better tomorrow.
Responding to the Challenge
Parks Expert Panel
10:30 AM to 11:30 AM
How can parks help shape the future of the state? A Parks Expert Panel will discuss the role of parks in
responding to the challenges identified by Mr. Stinson and Mr. Gillaspy. Panel members include
representatives from local, regional and state agencies, academia and the private sector.
Who should attend?
Decision-makers - elected and appointed parks board members and others with an interest in outdoor
recreation. Professionals - park directors, planners, educators, programmers and other staff who help
implement visions. Students and the interested public are welcome as well.
