Joint Public Policy December Forum
Tuesday, December 10th
2:30pm - 4:00pm
Minnesota State Capitol
75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
Room 112 St. Paul, MN 55155
Greeting Members;
Well it is official; our December Joint Public Policy meeting will be held at our State Capitol. We are very excited about this opportunity to meet in the same place that our government meets when they make their plans for us all.
In keeping with our focus we are honored to have Nick Zerwass, the District 30A State Representative as our speaker. He serves on the Health & Human Services Finance Committee, so will be well versed in the matters that concern us most. This will be your chance to meet with a currently serving legislature and get information about what the plans are going to be. Bring your questions, since there will be time for Q & A available.
The meeting will be held in room #112, on the first floor of the Capitol building. We are not allowed to bring food or beverages into the building, so don't skip lunch that day, or stop at Starbuck's on your way.
The challenge will be the parking. There is limited space in the front of the Capitol, which has meters and I believe accepts credit cards for payments. Other metered space in along the streets nearby.
My suggestion would be to car pool to a nearby lot; maybe at Sears, or Bethesda Hospital and then drive one car over so that you all are close. If need be we might also consider running a little shuttle back and forth from Sears to the Capitol. Please let me hear your thoughts so that we can plan accordingly.
See you Tuesday at 2:30!
Hot off the presses: I just found out that there is a tunnel from the State Office Building to the Capitol. Members can park for free in the Sears parking lot (NE side) walk across the street to the State office building and then walk through the tunnel to the Capitol. It will still be a walk, but you won't freeze!
