“Giving Back” was the theme of the Alexandria Rotary Club’s April 5 meeting, as two Rotarians, William “Rock” Anderson and Craig Mische, will be honored for “service above self” at the district conference; additionally, the club learned about the Alexandria Community Foundation’s efforts. Rotarian Tim Bush introduced Jeff Restad, member of the AACF’s Board of Directors, and Glen Tautges, a representative of the Central Minnesota Community Foundation. Restad shared that the Alexandria Community Foundation partnered last year with the Central Minnesota Community Fund, headquartered in St. Cloud. The partnership allows the local organization to leverage the expertise of the SCMCF. The Alexandria foundation currently holds nearly $700,000 in unrestricted funds and recently received an Otto Bremer Foundation grant of $360,000.
