We will be delving deeper into the Rotary pillars as we read novels (only fiction) that shed light on issues Rotary champions – promoting peace, fighting illiteracy and poverty, helping people get access to clean water and sanitation, fighting disease, ending polio, promoting maternal health, ending human trafficking, and protecting our planet’s natural resources.

We invite the wider community to join us – so please invite your friends who are not part of Rotary!

We plan to meet quarterly – 2nd Wednesday of the month starting in Feb.

• Join us WEDNESDAY, FEB 11, 2026

CAMP BAR – Cabaret Room (owned by Saint Paul Rotarian Bill Collins)

We begin by reading Minnesota author William Kent Krueger’s novel, Windigo Island. The story has a running story theme spotlighting human trafficking in the Duluth and northern Wisconsin (Bayfield) area.

Summary: When the body of a teenage Ojibwe girl washes up on the shore of an island in Lake Superior, the residents of the nearby Bad Bluff reservation whisper that it was the work of a deadly mythical beast, the Windigo, or a vengeful spirit called Michi Peshu. Such stories have been told by the Ojibwe people for generations, but they don’t explain how the girl and her friend, Mariah Arceneaux, disappeared a year ago. At the request of the Arceneaux family, private investigator Cork O’Connor takes on the case.
