Lakeville Rotary Collecting for “Cheer For The Children”
This October, Lakeville Rotary is helping local children get the everyday essentials they need to feel confident, comfortable, and ready to learn.
We’re partnering with Cheer For The Children, an organization that provides personal care and other essential items to Minnesota schools for students in need. With 1 in 9 Minnesota children living in poverty, access to basic hygiene products can make a meaningful difference.

Taste of Lakeville brings local food and drink to community
The 24th annual Taste of Lakeville was held on Aug. 20 where local food and drink vendors had the opportunity to showcase their products to the Lakeville community.
Hosted by Lakeville’s Rotary Club, the mission of this event is not only to highlight local businesses, but to also raise money for community projects, such as the 360 Communities Lewis House, global humanitarian efforts, and local scholarships. Over the past three years, Taste of Lakeville has raised nearly half a million dollars for these efforts.
Entertainment for the event was provided by Coyote Wild, a midwestern band who combines country and classic rock in a unique format.
Next year’s Taste of Lakeville will be held on Aug. 19, 2027. More information about the event can be found at https://tasteoflakeville.org/.
