Join us Wednesday morning at 7:30am in the Great Hall - Kitchi Gammi Club (831 E Superior St., Duluth, MN 55802) as we hear from Nicholas Altiere, artist and owner at Altiere Custom Rings
My name is Nicholas Altiere and I am an Award Winning Ring Artist and alternative materials specialist. I live and work in Duluth, MN where I grew up and learned to appreciate nature and the beauty around me. My love of travel has pushed me to venture all around this amazing country of ours, from coast to coast. Somewhere along my journey a spark was ignited to find unique materials and create exquisite works of wearable art, that would stand the test of time. With a great deal of drive and passion, I have been able to build a brand that will help set you apart from the crowd. "Be Different" is my tag line, because there is no better form of freedom than traveling your own path.
Thank you for helping me fulfill my dreams and I look forward to helping you "Be Different"
On Wednesday 12.18.24 (morning meeting), we will be "passing the hat" to raise funds for Mary Durward.
As many of you know, Mary is battling cancer and currently going through chemo. As fellow Rotarians, we want to support Mary in her journey, and will therefore be collecting donations from Harbortown members. The money collected will be gifted to Mary in the form of a food delivery service.
If you are interested in donating, please provide a gift of your choice to Charity Johnson or Chloe Strand at the regular morning meeting on Wednesday 12.18.
You can also Venmo Chloe Strand here (last 4 digits 2531):
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your consideration and support of our fellow Harbortown Rotarian.
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us for the Annual Harbortown Rotary Holiday Party last week! Your presence made the evening truly special as we celebrated the season with laughter and camaraderie. From the outstanding live music from the Duluth East Sterling Strings to the delicious food & drink, the night was a beautiful reminder of the strong community we’ve built together.
As we close out the year, we’re filled with gratitude for your continued support and enthusiasm. Here’s to many more memorable moments together in the year ahead!
If you attended but had not RSVP'd for the party, please email Casey Nies (nies.casey@gmail.com). Additionally, please feel free to share any thoughts/suggestions/photos you have. Thank you!
After careful consideration, it has been decided to CANCEL the 2024-25 District Conference, previously scheduled for April 24-26, 2025; due to scheduling conflicts with another district training event.
But, don’t be dismayed! There will be another opportunity to connect with District 5580 Rotarians this calendar year…
The 2025-26 DISTRICT CONFERENCE is tentatively scheduled to be held on October 24-25, 2025 in Duluth, MN!
Save the date and stay posted for additional information!
