Many minerals of economic interest (such as nickel, copper, gold and cobalt) are found in high sulfide ores. The sulfur content of these ores may be 5-10 times higher than the mineral of interest. As such, high sulfide mining creates a very large amount of waste sulfur which is discarded into the environment with toxic effects. Literature reviews have shown that all high sulfide mines in water rich areas have contaminated the local water based environment. This presentation will review the state of high sulfide mining in Minnesota and discuss the specific dangers resulting from this type of mining.

A look back at Club #25 Fellowship & Service

 

Throughout the year, our Rotary year was defined by fellowship, shared purpose, and service in action. From hands-on projects and meaningful grants to weekly gatherings and moments of reflection, these images tell the story of who we are — and who we strive to be — as Rotarians serving Duluth and beyond.

Rotary of Duluth has made a Duluth a better place to call home

 

Rotary fellowship takes many forms — shared meals, outdoor gatherings, and moments of connection that strengthen the relationships behind our service.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Service Above Self in the Community

 

Side-by-side, Rotarians turn compassion into action — fighting hunger, caring for youth, and stewarding the places we call home.

We raise funds for Community Investment & Partnerships in many ways….

 

 

 

 

Giving in support of our youth

 

Through strategic grants and partnerships, Rotary invests in youth, education, and community well-being — extending our impact far beyond any single meeting.

 

 

 

Club 25 starts each meeting with reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and The Four-Way Test

 

Past President Sandy Hoff

Leadership, reflection, and Rotary traditions remind us why we serve — grounding our work in values, generosity, and shared responsibility.

ROTARY--LIFE HOUSE CHRISTMAS/ Holiday DINNER

By Dan Dock

Rotarians from the Downtown Club and the Skyline Club served about 150 people a Holiday Dinner at Life House.  Santa and Mrs. Claus were there, and the children received gifts and gift cards from area donors.

 

For many of these children, many of whom are homeless, this was likely their only Holiday Dinner and gifts.

 

These youths are very thankful for what Rotary does.

           

A thank you to these Rotary Club 25 members, Skyline Rotary members, and families who helped make this a great Holiday Party for a large number of Life House members.
