SERVICE: "Keep others from throwing in the towel by throwing in yours" Rather than throwing stuffed animals on the ice when the Northern Lights scores its first goal of the game, in December our fans are encouraged to throw a rolled up towel instead. We continue to collect towels through the month and will donate them to Bridging. Fran, the founder of Bridging, visited our meeting in November and challenged us "You all have stuff...give some of it away!" Our team decided to do a towel drive in response to Fran's specific request for more new or gently used cloth goods like towels, washcloths and dish towels. Help us help families in transition...
HOCKEY SIDE OF LIFE:
Many of our Rotaractors play for or are staff of the Northern Lights Junior A Hockey Team which is based out of the Bloomington Ice Garden at the northeast corner of France and 98th Street. The team is on a winning streak and battling for first place...congrats!!!

We're pleased to report that two of our club officers are in the top five in points in the league. Assistant Captain #11 Josh Shingler (Sergeant at Arms, Shawano WI) who is second in the league in scoring. Club Secretary #26 Captain Garrett Windle, a forward from Downington Pennsylvania is currently holding third place even after taking five games away from the Lights while with a Tier II Junior team for an extended tryout Minnesota Junior Hockey League in scoring.
Following right behind him and in the top 20 are club member Chris Weber (Burnsville, MN) and Vice President/Assistant Captain Jon Barrick (Litchfield, MN). Other league standouts include goalie Josh Lehr (Appleton, WI) who has notched 11 wins for the Lights with a 92% save average.
We truly celebrate good things happening to these great young people!
