Speakers

Mary Beth will tell us about our largest annual charity fundraising event, The MWT-M Rotary Golf Outing. We set a record last year and maybe we can even raise more money this year. Everybody needs to chip in. Mary Beth and the committee will enlighten us.

Michelle Grindle from Waste Management (WM) will tell us what her company does for our community, our country and beyond. Find out what is trash and what is not trash and how this giant company makes recyclables into useful products. Ever wonder what happens to the garbage that you put out on the street, where it goes and how you can help? You'll find out on May 21.

Our own Dennis Zitnak will present a program on SPAM--- that's right SPAM. Everybody makes fun of SPAM including Monte Python vignettes. Even the name SPAM has morphed into computer language meaning trash or junk. But, SPAM was essential as a food product for our US and Allied troops in World War II. The product was created in 1937 and is sold in 41 countries on 6 continents. Hormel, who makes this canned pork meat concoction, has its headquarters in Austin Minnesota. (Dennis's hometown). Dennis even worked there while going through school. The narrator of our program today is employee Jeff Johnson who will tell us about the fascinating SPAM museum.
