22 members and guests Cleve McCoy of Fridley Park and Recreation and Bharathi Murali heard Joan Mellor and Jeff Czyson of Allina Health EMS. Joan gave basic information: EMS's mission, service statistics, including the most frequent reasons EMS is called: falls in the home, illness, and mental health concerns. Jeff described the department's recently completed Ambulance Redesign Project, an effort to significantly upgrade the vehicles' safety in a crash. At the conclusion of the presentation, attendees were invited to proceed to the Shortstop parking lot for a tour of one of the new ambulances.
 
Bharathi thanked the club for sponsoring her membership in Twin Cities Rotoract.
