We are excited to announce that military members and visitors to the Magnus Veterans Foundation (MVF) can now easily move within its 38 acres.
May 5th was the first time the six-passenger electric cart was used to transport more than 50 visitors and veterans for a MVF event. The cart was donated in January 2022 by the Elk River Rotary with support from Rotary District 5960 and many other supporting Rotary clubs.
The MVF, located in Dayton, provides a variety of services to veterans.
We are proud to partner with the Magnus Veterans Foundation to serve to change lives. Rotary rocks!

The MVF, located in Dayton, MN, provides a variety of physical, psychological, social and other health-related services at no cost (free) to veterans.

Elk River Rotarians Casey Mahon and Heather Kliewer (sitting in the front seat of photo #1), with the support of President Tove Lichty (second from left) led all aspects of the initiative, which raised more than $11,000 for the purchase and upkeep of the cart.
