On a warm June day in 1961, 21 men gathered in the auditorium at Guardian Angels Catholic Church for the opening meeting of the Chaska Rotary.
Dr. Thomas Sutcliffe was among those founding members.
“It was a warm month, there was no air conditioning there,” he recalled. “And all the women were dressed to the nines.”
Nearly five decades later, Sutcliffe is the sole holdout from that group to remain a member of the rotary.
“We had a high drop out rate that first year,” he said. “We got down to 12 members.”

Director Bill Coldwell cast Megan Tornquist as the Narrator in the current Chaska Valley Family Theatre musical “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” in part, because “What you see on stage isn’t a result of anything I did directing her. It’s her natural ability to tell a story in a fun, easy-going manner.”
Theater-goers may recognize her as “Maria” from CVFT’s “The Sound of Music” from a couple seasons ago. Tornquist, 25, lives in Chaska with husband, Pete, and teaches at East Union Elementary School.
