"Elk River is full of talented, intelligent <br /> people who know more about the town than any consultant. My role is to facilitate <br /> involvement and to teach people how to find the answers in a short time". One way to do <br /> that is to tell stories of successes and failures in other communities. Washburn has <br /> hundreds of stories. "I have seen it done well and I have seen it done poorly, for that <br /> matter I have experienced both, first-hand experience can be the best teacher". <br /> Washburn's presentation will be held Thursday evening, 7:00 p.m. at the Elk River High <br /> School. The public is invited. The presentation will last approximately ninety minutes, <br /> followed by a question and answer session. Call the City of Elk River for more <br /> information. <br /> • <br /> • <br />
