2009 was a great success!

Hopkins Rotary is proud to sponsor Taste West.  It's simply a fun event that gives back to our community.  One of the primary benefits created by the program include scholarships for Hopkins and Minnetonka students.  Rotary benefits our community and international community in many ways.  From supporting the Hopkins High School International Club, to supporting polio eradication around the world.  From helping a needy elderly person give their home a fresh coat of paint, to drilling fresh water wells in developing countries.  Rotary is 1.25 million men and women working together from around the world in over 31,000 clubs.

Thanks to everyone who has made Taste West possible. We greatly appreciate the hard work and generosity of many.
