By now you probably know that the Excelsior Morning Rotary Club is the one that makes this concert series go. And you might have thought about how you could get more involved and give back to our great community. If this is you, we'd love to have you visit us for breakfast sometime...we meet at Maynard's Restaurant of Excelsior at 6:45am on Wednesdays.

Tomorrow's meeting would be a great time to start as the Chiefs of the South Lake Minnetonka Police Department and Excelsior Fire District, MN will be speaking...
