Attached for your reference is the <br /> February 2, Star News article on these events. If you can attend, please plan to <br /> 1110 come early (about 7 a.m.) and, if need be, to park in the Lions Park parking lot. <br /> At this time it appears that we will have about an hour and one half with the <br /> Governor. He is expected to arrive about 7:30 a.m., a pep rally will begin at <br /> 8:30 a.m., and he will be on the road to Big Lake by 9:00 a.m. Numerous <br /> community leaders are being invited to the Governor's reception and, <br /> according to Stephanie, it is expected that the main themes of conversation <br /> will be "community" and "citizen involvement." Examples that immediately <br /> come to mind regarding "what makes Elk River a community" include the Boys <br /> and Girls Club success story, the CAER organization, and the response to the <br /> Mark Ahner health/family situation. Other general community issues that are <br /> relevant to discuss include the Northstar Corridor project, the Energy City <br /> program, and the concern over the possible closing of the Anoka-Hennepin <br /> Technical College. <br /> The 5-9 a.m. WCCO morning show is sure to offer a number of surprises. No <br /> one can possibly predict who will be picked out of the crowd to be interviewed, <br /> so all councilmembers and department heads should be ready to go on the <br /> radio for a few minutes and talk about what they do in the community and <br /> "how great it is living in Elk River." <br /> • Both events taking place at the same time in Elk River is by design and offers <br /> a rare opportunity that we should not miss to discuss our issues and promote <br /> our community. <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
