From jleonard at minnesotaruralpartners.org Sun Apr 3 19:07:30 2005 From: jleonard at minnesotaruralpartners.org (Jane Leonard) Date: Sun Apr 3 20:12:37 2005 Subject: [Mn-Rural-Summit] April 22 planning meeting Message-ID: <00aa01c538b2$afbd9aa0$6601a8c0@janelaptop> Dear Colleagues: The Initiative Foundation at Little Falls has graciously made space available for us to hold our April planning meeting at their offices on Weds. April 20 from 10:30 to 1:30. Directions to the offices are at http://www.ifound.org/aboutus/directions.html Please let me know if you will be able to attend so we can order an appropriate number of lunches. Several subcommittees are meeting this week to help firm up the program components. We need to start promoting the Summit --- if everyone on the planning team can each talk to just 10 people about attending the Summit (and they attend) we'll have a record number of participants! Word of mouth is the best way we have to publicize the Summit and help people understand why it's such a great opportunity to network and learn about the best practices across disciplines and across the state. We'll be getting out a Save the Date reminder this week by postcard, but it really helps to have person-to-person promotion, too. And thanks to Carla Carlson at the University of Minnesota for contacting and tentatively confirming Tom Gillaspy (our state demographer) and Tom Stinson (our state economist) as the opening speakers at the Summit. --jane Jane Leonard President, Minnesota Rural Partners, Inc. 1533 Grantham St. St. Paul, MN 55108 phone 651-645-9403 fax 651-646-3818 wireless 651-303-5263 jleonard@minnesotaruralpartners.org www.minnesotaruralpartners.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
