Orono is the northern area of Lake Minnetonka, stretching from Wayzata to Mound. Lots of rich people live here and quite a few middle income people too. Each year different groups host events to help raise money for the seniors at the high school. Around 1994 Brian Billick, who was an assistant coach for the Vikings brought his wife and young daughters to a taste testing. It was a lot of fun, we all ate some cereal and said whether we liked it or not. You get the idea, community building while getting cash for the seniors. Today I received email from the City of Orono that included a fundraiser for the senior class. I thought Erica might like to come so I opened it up.
Rotary gives away three scholarships per year. They will be holding a dinner in that cause. Great, I thought. Spaghetti or a fish fry or something on that order. Nope. The venue is a smallish bistro/restaurant. Cost: $90. per person.
Wow, only in Orono.
Yep, only in Orono. But I'm sure that they are actually going to get as many people as they want!
ReplyDeleteWell, the upside is that they might actually raise a significant amount of money. Compared to having a spaghetti dinner at $10 a head.
